In terms of tickets for this match they are waiting for the capacity to be confirmed by Barrow before knowing how many they have to give away.

At least that's my battleplan for the afternoon.

Does anybody know when wigan will be releasing ticket details for this game, does any one work at the ticket office we could find out from.

You've got to feel sorry for Leeds and Saints they will lose around £140,000 each from having to give away the free tickets.

I'm genuinely gutted for them.

10129 was the attendence when we played at leeds last year so giving them free tickets they mite get around 17000.

Ditto. Perhaps we could have a whip round. Ive just found 20p in my pocket

Anyone going the Barrow game this Sat in order to secure a ticket?

No

Nice try...Pints

Their stadium has some scaffolding holding something up so the capacity will be reduced to about 5500

Just what we need even more demand for tickets.

Barrow used to be a pain in the ar5e to get to though. Not so much any more, however. I remember going in the 1986/87 season and it seemed to take hours, because it was all narrow country roads.

But they've built several roads that bypass the small villages, so whilst you still have to go through Newby Bridge and Ulverston, the rest of the way is fairly straightforward with plenty dual carriageways.

Hopefully with what might be a larger demand for tickets than we may get from Barrow the club will do something sensible like make sure that the season ticket holders who have been to x amount of away games get the chance of tickets first.

Or is that a little too sensible for us?

I doubt it. I have said they should introduce a loyalty points system like they have in football but probably pointless to have one as apart from finals and one-offs you will more than likely get a ticket regardless.

I don't think there will be a big problem with the allocation but we shall see.

When we were playing in the band (group) Ulverston was one of our favourite venues.

The owner of one of the clubs we used to play at owned a bakery in Ulverston so he use to take us back there at the end of the night and give us fresh cakes.

Beautiful.

Was that the Old Ragtime Band You Were in?

Who Baked the Cakes? Was it King Alfred???

Couldn't resist!

bog off.

Ever seen 'Brassed Off' ?? 30 years previous to that

I've not been out round Ulverston, but my dad tells me that on Friday and Saturday nights all the farmers come into town from the hills and cause a load of barneys.

There's a list of people banned from the town's pubs under the pubwatch scheme in all the pubs, and they all had the same surname! To think we call Leigh...
