I'm not going to tie myself to any gates in protest. But it's p155 poor organisation on Wigan's part.

I keep telling myself that the growing list of problems is due to teething problems on the part of how the club is now being run. But it ain't half a ball ache, one thing after another.

To be fair, what do people expect when Barrow only send 1000 tickets, when we have 9000 seasn ticket holders. Its not really Wigans fault.

How is it? .. Barrow allocated 1000 tickets, Wigan told fans of the allocation. Fans either go to the stadium to buy them, or use the phone - KNOWING there are only 1000 it's obviously hit and miss.

I think people do realise that, but for those of us who could not get down there today it was only option, still reasonably cheap as I got 3 tickets!!

Like i said earlier they should have been forced to move the tie to an adequate facility then. If free tickets are promised then a good percentage of our 9000 season ticket holders say 25% (2250) should at minimum be guaranteed tickets imo. It’s one of the selling points for getting a season ticket and also as I said earlier it’s a thank you for all the fans who spend far to much already going to all the games home and away.

Your right it's not Wigans fault but the RFL's. They should maybe offer a scheme where if you draw a club with a tin pot stadium your free ticket allocation gets moved to the next round.

I actually feel more sorry for anyone who took the time out to queue up and then still didn't get tickets.

the 44min phone call was sponsored by my employer

Thats the way to do it !

Yes, if you travel to the shop Saturday morning, buy a Barrow shirt, hat and scarf and promise to wear Blue 'n' White on the day your purchase will be more than welcome









Seriously I'm sure you'll get quite a few more tickets - think Barrow are still waiting to be given a final figure on the ground capacity.

Ambrose is good and as close a beer as you can get without actually being in the ground, plus if you like your real ale then they have a good selection plus a couple of plasma's dotted about.

It's 100 yards up the road from the main entrance (for those that have never been before.)

The bar in the ground is cheap enough and always has a good atmosphere plus you can spill out onto the terrace.

got mine

someone in the queue had 80 season tickets with him

Looks like the Ambrose

Got mine

Im not sure there was that many who missed out. They seemed to concentrate on the people in person.

Although is was fairly annoying when people in the queue where on the phone to the ticket office, and just walked to the front of the queue to 'collect' ticket.

That is pathetic.

Why are people so desperate to attend this game? Just because it's free? Queueing up at 6am.

My OH wnet down to the stadium at 8am and there was about 40 people quieing then. He got our tickets by 9.25

i was told that this guy organises a coach trip from his local to all the games. All he did was take everyones season tickets with him

Get your tickets from Barrow's ground shop. On general sale from 12pm Sunday.

Get a grip. I was referring to the system, not the availability of tickets.

the ambrose might put on some buttys for you all

As it appears that 1,000 plus have been given away and maybe another 2-3,000 would like to travel to Barrow why dont someone from the club (who reads this forum) make round 5 (if wigan beat BARROW!) free AS WELL to make up for the disapointed fans

I dont think that is what Pie Eyed is upset about.

Its the cost of calling the stadium on the ticket hotline number. Why should they have an 0871 number, why cant they have an 01942 number ?

Also, whilst I'm on about it, the fact that they want £2 per transaction when you use a debit card and call them is not on either.

Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to get to the ground and join the queue.

I hope they will be FREE butties and for TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE or I will be contacting the club, the RFL and my MP to complain.

And those who bought tickets for previous away games will need first dibs at said butties in honour of their category 1 status
