£15 to watch Premiership football

[Commander]

Or £23 to watch League 1 and get soaked

to be fair the travel costs to wigan and back would probably outweigh the benefits

Was 17 quid for me, the club didn't even charge me a booking fee?

Must be because they saw I forget to collect my Yeovil ticket.

I bet even with these reduced ticket prices Wigan struggle to get 20k.

how big is wigan as a town?


to be fair it seems that all 3 clubs(wigan, blackburn, bolton) struggle to get respectable crowds, and especially as wigan is more of a rugby town i think it's actually quite impressive that they're even close to filling their ground

 

[Timbo]

Last time I went to the JJB we got in a taxi and asked for the football ground. The driver told us they didn't have a football ground, just a rugby ground they let the football club use. That seemed pretty much the attitude all over the town.

3 inches by 4 inches on the map not sure what scale its to though

Bit gormless dropping prices for the Chelski game wasn't it?

I don't know, they were still 3,000 below capacity even with the reduced prices for that game.

Guess some towns just don't deserve Premiership football

On that basis clubs that have nearly 4,000 seats available in a 9,000 seater stadium for home matches probably don't deserve or more to the point need a new ground

Poor point, badly made

[Lammy]

The last time they did this against Chelsea it spark and almost sell out!

Wow, they ALMOST sold out at £15 a ticket versus one of the best teams in europe!
