That's good news as it should be a decent atmosphere on Saturday.Like you I'm not too concerned with the pre-season and can't wait for the Wigan match.Pressure is on Wigan this season as they are touted for a quick return to the Championship,but so were we if I recall !Just read on their site that further allocation been given to them following sell out of initial 900 allocation. Should make for a good atmosphere and regardless of the pre-season results I am looking forward to the game. PUSB
900?! For their opening game of the season it proves what a Mickey mouse club they are.
Only Dave Whelan's money got them to where they got, but as he was an English - not foreign - owner, Wigan were not criticised for buying their way to 'success'.
I hope they continue falling through the leagues.
To be fair, they've had 900 tickets and sold them. If you don't have more than that initially, you can't sell more!
And it took them a week to sell them for an attractive fixture, opening day, cheap tickets and ground the majority of them haven't visited.
Problem is it's a rugby town and a small town. 11,000 is about one 8th of the population.
It seems they attract supporters in better ratios than certain cities I could mention.
population of Wigan : 97,000. That's not a lot.
population of Wigan Borough :317,000. That's a lot.
Coventry not being one of those cities I assume, Grendel? What with us being a 'proper' rugby town now.Problem is it's a rugby town and a small town. 11,000 is about one 8th of the population.

Oh, the irony.........Wigan will average between 7000 - 10000 this season I reckon and to think that they won the FA Cup a few season ago!

1600 sold yesterday another 300 will be gone by Saturday about time you saw decent crowd there
Oh no how will we cope with an away following of 1900.

haha come on lighten up!
If you do it will be one of the biggest followings I can remember in league one.
I can't recall Sheffield United bringing that many.
I don't get it, why are Wigan only deciding to support their club the lower they go down the divisions?

At least their support isn't dependent on success; fair play to them.

How strange. We have a bad feeling about this game as well.well the 1600 sold is confirmed dunno about the other 300 to be honest..hope its a good game anyway but i have a bad feeling!
I think any less than 2000 is poor. A club who which has had a lot of success in recent years. Probably the cheapest away tickets they have had in 5 years.
The boroughs of Nuneaton Stratford and Warwick have 470,000 and Coventry 320,000.
800,000 in total.
They didn't even had that kind of numbers in PL.
