Its too much of a closed shop at the moment. Just auction them off to the highest bidder - that'd get a few more quid into the club.* *Disclaimer: If anyone from the club is reading this post. it's a joke.

Neither would I this year but it would be an incentive for people to buy memberships etc. Some games still must go to general sale this season though?

Very odd. The stand holds 5,500, we was allocated 4,700 which explains the empty seats. Plus there were loads standing in gangways because they couldn't be bothered to look for there seats and stewards weren't bothered about directing people to them.

Bannofan Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I think if you go to Wednesday away matches these days you know what you're going to get from our 'fans'. Drunken, drugged up idiots of all ages. Lovely atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marble Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I'm struggling to get my head round this incident. Wierd behavior on 2 fronts 1) fighting amongst ourselves on the opening day is just pathetic (frustration at our current situation is no excuse) & 2) no smartphone footage that I know of. In an age where every fart makes YouTube, no sign of the chaos that's been discussed here to my knowledge. Get your act together away fans :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 This is one of the reasons I stopped going to away games, our fans a far too aggressive and intolerant of any view other than their own. I friend took his 6 year old son on Saturday and he was terrified, OF WEDNESDAY' Fans' and does not want to go again. Well done to the Troglodytes.

I friend took his 6 year old son on Saturday and he was terrified, OF WEDNESDAY' Fans' and does not want to go again. Well done to the Troglodytes. The same thing happened to me in the seventies. This was the reason I stopped following Wednesday away.. a lot of the people following Wed.at that time were drunken thugs out for a 'good' wee wee p and a chance to cause arguments, possibly a scrap or two. These are not football supporters, just mindless hooligans. Anyone may criticise the Chairman, the Manager Player X or whatever. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but to fight with someone over it is unacceptable. Should this episode have occurred, and I see nothing to make me doubt it, the answer lays in the hands of the EFL. It may seem harsh, but CUT THE ALLOCATION BY HALF for every such incident - 4500 at Wigan becomes 2250 at the next away game, followed by a further reduction to 1125 after the next incident, ending in a Nil allocation. Harsh, I know, and bound to hurt many true Followers. If we find this unacceptable, cut out the cause of the trouble - ALE.. Close the gates at the away end 15 mns before the K.o. Or do as I did in the seventies - STOP GOING. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
