one of our lot got his ticket saturday morning

 

was numbered 3900+

 

4k sounds about reet

There were some empty seats to the right, but I wouldn't say there were any more than 300

 

 

Agree with you there Eddie. We were sat in row P directly behind the goal and from where I was sat I could not see a single empty seat.

Out of my own interest I have just done a quick search on the JJB stadium. From the excellent www.footballgroundguide.co.uk:

What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?

Away fans are located in the North Stand at one end of the stadium. Up to 5,400 visiting supporters can be accommodated in this area.

 

I can not see where there was 1,400 empty seats, so either that stand has shrunk or we had considerably over 4,000 fans there on Saturday.

Singing 'we hate Bolton' and they still have about 5k empty seats all round the ground - Wigan fans are f?cking sh?te

And the rest.

Ground holds 25,000. Only 18,000 on with a virtually full away end!

 

 

It was good to see a ground being more empty than The Reebok at full time!

 

 

 

Did anyone sat to the left of the Bolton end see any trouble after our 3rd goal? There seemed to be a big exit of Pie Eaters from their end following a few stewards down the exit tunnel.

Aye lad, I saw a fat pie-eater knock a coppers helmet off & he was getting dragged downstairs.

PB - Dodnt know you are mates with alan carr?

 

the empty seats in our end where in the block on the right (towards the main stand) which was completely empty

What a refreshing change then to sell this block last, with the one nearest the Wigan inbreds being sold prior.

Anybody know how many we actually took yesterday? It seemed to me to be about 4000/4500.

 

The support was quality and the noise after the second and third goals was electric, it made up for all the humiliating derbys we have had this season (except the dingles away).

 

And how sh1t are the Wigan fans, there stands were half empty and even when they were in the lead you wouldn't have known it.

 

first chance to post since returning from a little break- this has probably been said before, but bravo to those who went... the atmosphere sounded amazing, the best i have heard us on MOTD for a long time
