Title: Wigan
Post by: Blackcountry Villa on November 17, 2010, 07:38:03 PM
£20 for adults, good price that.

Initial allocation of 2500 and with it being 18th December this could go two ways, either a lot won't go because it's just before christmas or lots will go because they have it as an early christmas present. I remember us playing Wigan away around christmas a few years back and we took 5500.

I booked mine over the phone yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the price

BTW, what are the parking arrangements like ?

If you're prepared for a 10 minute walk, I've never had a problem parking on Montrose Avenue or one of the side roads off it.

£20, £25 for Blackburn on Sunday.  Lancashire's getting cheaper by the day.

Don't park in the Asda car park. We got to Wigan late last year, decided to risk it and ended up with a parking ticket.

Think this will be my boys first away game (bar Wembley last season). Would have been Sunday but the eldest is away with school. Always enjoyed my visits.

Looks like I might have a couple of spare tickets if anyone's struggling to get them.

Still one spare ticket if anyone's interested (which I doubt given our nosedive to obscurity!!)

I'm going on the train. Hope it doesn't get snowed off and re-arranged for a midweek as it will be murder to get time off work.

Why didn't they hold fire on announcing the rearranged date until after the FA Cup.

Surely there's an FA Cup Saturday later in the season that could have been used rather than choosing midweek in January

Shhh! I work up that way through the week and generally stay over one night, the match is on that night so I'm chuffed as the hotel is less than 3 miles away from the DW. Still need to get a ticket mind.

can you pay on the gate tomorrow night?
Title: Re: Wigan
Post by: villajk on January 24, 2011, 01:46:59 PM
I've heard, via Facebook, that you can.

Probably best to check with either our OS or Wigan's.
Title: Re: Wigan

From the OS.

Available to purchase on the turnstile at the DW Stadium - North Stand - from 6:00pm on Tuesday January 25th

So tempted to drop everything and go up for this one. Thing is it'd mean blowing off a couple of lectures. And the trains are a bit of a problem :(

We've sold 3000 so i'm guessing there will be up to 2500 on sale on the night, plenty in other words.

I know, I'd have to miss a large chunk of the second half. Ah well.

Why not ask a fellow Villan at the game for a lift back - If you are struggling I could drop you at Lime St Liverpool if there are late trains back to Brum.

That's a really kind offer mate but I've decided to knock it on the head, need to do Uni work really.

I'm actually praying for a switch to a Sunday KO at some point because I work Wednesday nights and all day Saturdays now. Harrumph!
