Both Wigan and Blackburn had 2,100 tickets with 50 officials allowed 3 tickets each meaning 2,250 could attend. Thats why we took 2,190 and Blackburn similar.
The whole my clubs bigger than your club argument is so embarrassing. Club A fans says they're bigger than Club B cos they won the Anglo Cup thing in 1912 in pre season. Club B says they're bigger cos they took 5000 to Skegness one weekend.
At the end of the day everyones in this division...
Every thread on this forum is just full of non Wigan fans talking about Wigan. A bit obsessive. Some people on here talk about Wigan more than I do and certainly more than they talk about their own club!
Wigan sold out the full 2100 for Blackpool but Blackpool gave out the official figure just under 2200, 2178 I think? Players families taking up the extra tickets? Although Blackpool could just be pulling figures out of a hat because they had just over 2000 Blackpool/Wigan fans in the home end...
Exactly the draw I wanted and a lot of Wigan fans. 1,200 tickets apparently so will have to go and queue early. Nailed on Friday night BBC game. Non league v League, derby and the most recent FA Cup winners.
Gateshead v Luton and Slough v Rochdale on BT I would expect. The only 3 appealing ties...
Frustrating game. First 20 minutes was a stalemate and just a scrape in the middle of the park, we then got a foothold on the game and controlled the rest of the first half in the Blackburn half, Massey should have squared it to Toney to tap it in the net but shot at the keeper instead.
Second...
I'm currently in Scunthorpe. The stadium is miles out of the town. The town centre is very run down.
Shrewsbury is a nice enough town to be fair but the stadium is a bit out of the way unfortunately.
Charlton is a decent away day to be fair.
Your obsession with Wigan again rearing it's ugly...
2,100 Wigan at Blackpool. With a whole host in the home end and about 1,000 empty seats not for sale in the away end, total and utter shambles. Why don't the Blackpool owners just sell the club?
Perkins scoring and I missed it. Seen a picture of the away end and about 10 rows at the bottom of each block empty as they refused to sell them becausethey didn't want more away fans than home. First home defeat of the season for them too, so a great win, especially in awful weather.
500-260 is substantially more than 100-150.
Our away following will rise once we get some local fixtures in. In the 7 so far we've had 4 long distance trips (2 on a Tuesday night), 2 with a 3-4 hour round journey and then 1 local game.
Rovers brought around 100 less than City for a September...
This division has beem crazy so far after about 8 games 6 teams all had title winning points per game ratios and the bottom looked like 30 points would keep you up. A few weeks later and most of the teams at the bottom have gone on winning runs and teams at the top keep losing.
Also very few...
Plymouth was another superb following.
Are you seriously comparing Wigan to Gillingham. To Shrewsbury to Bristol?
A good 5 hour drive 500 mile journey compared to a 260 mile journey. Bristol to Carlisle would have been a similar comparison.
That being said Bristol Rovers have better away...
No chance we'll score 5. Our conversion rate is dreadful. Would need 50 shots to score 5, the way our finishing has been so far. Be happy with a 1 goal winning margin.
