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

I know it wasnt the point he was making, although its relevant.

After spending about 30 mins on the phone my wife finally managed to get us tickets for the game

.

Like I said earlier in the thread imo there should have been a system in place that allowed people who had been to a certain amount of away games to get first bite at the cherry rather than have a season ticket holder free for all.

Granted for those who have paid on the gate at away games it would not have helped much, but it lessens the chance fans who travel away all the time getting not getting tickets.

Putting the freebie issue to one side why do you think there will be hordes of Wigan fans unable to get tickets? We'll take less than 2500 to Barrow. All this rushing for tickets IMO is fine if you are a tight get but if you are doing it because you think you might otherwise miss the game you need to get a reality check.





And yes, I [iam[/i waiting for this to come back and bite my ass!.

The coming back to bite in the ass is one of the reasons why I did not want to wait for tickets.

As for being a tight get rushing for the tickets, well as fans who spend a lot of money going to practically every away game I think we deserve a free ticket when they are available.

Lastly the way the club are putting it does not give great hope for getting a substantial amount of tickets as below.

**
Wigan are in contact with the Barrow Club to try and arrange further tickets for this game and those personal callers who were unable to get hold of a ticket have now been put on a reserve list if and when the Club are able to secure further tickets.**

i got there at 9.25 and got my ticket at 10.20 then the was only a handfull left

What else can they put at this stage? They don't have any tickets but I firmly believe if that ground holds 6500 no-one will miss out. Barrow fans may be bigging it up too much. Remember the leigh friendly when we were all told there would be 10,000 on?
