The fact is Wigans support is very fickle. Anyone can get a good crowd with free tickets. Even latics (well maybe not)
The allocation was the same. - We sold ours, our fans also bought from JJB and still we get another 700. This is on top of the extra 300 a couple of weeks ago. The allocation was 3800 each, therefore you can only sell 2700 less the ones we have bought from JJB. My guess from the posts on your board complaining about all the wire fans in your queue is a support of 2000 max.
And Wigan fans who think they will buy at the last minute or just turn up are deluded. Its all ticket ! that mean you need to buy one beforehand. If the RFL are giving them to us to sell then that means you wont have any to buy.
Tony Smith made a distinction yesterday between fans and supporters - Fans are the ones who turn up occassionally and are the first to boo and not turn up again apart from the big game. Supporters keep going through thick and thin. Our capacity is 13500 ish and we get around 10000 for most games, fairly consistent. Yours is 24k ish and your support fluctuates between 9k and 22k in a matter of weeks.
Let me know if you dont understand any of the big words.
