Should be decent crowd, there's enough scouse fans around Wigan and it's not far from Liverpool

Pitch looks very good for RL. And while I couldn't give two hoots about the Pathetics, any Liverpool loss is good by me!

More than 5,500 from liverpool.

I loved the comment by the ESPN commentator at the start when he said he was surprised the ground was not full as there were a lot of Liverpool supporters in Wigan. And seeing how cheep the tickets were (the cheapest in the PL) only £28 to get in.

that explains why they arnt turning up for the games anymore. i think £28 is alot to pay(especially considering how e the tics are)

cheap for a PL match

just shows what a rip-off it is to watch a football game! and how dumb some people are to pay them prices.

Wigan Athletic 1 - 0 Liverpool

we know what you and conroy will be getting upto tonight!!

I don't know about Conroy but I'm working my way through a very good Spanish red. Just like Hugo.

If our media didn't bring us up in deciding which sport we would watch, a lot more people would see how poor the game is, <43 mins per game average. Americans don't have football in the spot light 24/7 and see how they're coping.

My 10 year old cousin said 'why do people watch football over rugby because when you watch rugby there's always something happening.' Spoke to a mate who's just got back from game and apparently that was a great game and from a neutrals point of view, that was awful, 1 or 2 shots in 2nd half. £28 my .

Thought this was a funnier quote:

"2146: Enough already all you sensitive Wigan fans - for the sake of peace and quiet lets pretend the crowd of less than 18,000 is marvellous."

Ive always been a fan of BBC live txt commentary but thats hilarious.

Sorry but we could have played that on a pile of e.

Wigan Athletic 1 - the mighty, (5 times Champions of Europe, 18 times Champions of England) Liverpool 0

Aren't you the muppet who did the 20-0 Halftime thread?

Now that's gay!

Another one who failed to see the tongue in cheek matter of that post. It's on the Bradford board if you want to try and read it.. some Mod tried to be clever and copy and paste it there. He could've at least posted the un-edited version.

I did see it mate, I think you're the one missing tongue in cheek, don't be so sensitive.

Great win for you guys and a decent performance. Liverpool where woeful though, but take nothing away from Latics, its funny watching Liverpool this year



Pitch looked better but not great for a new one

This thread is fascinating.

Do commentators on Latics games really refer so regularly to the Warriors? Must drive the 'tics fans mad, if they do.

In all the TV coverage of the RL, whether on Sky or the BBC, I don't think I've ever heard a reference to Wigan Athletic once.

Well last night we must have got a mention at least 5 times. One being why do they not support both you would think they would having 2 Top Division Teams in Wigan.

£28 a ticket would go some way to explaining it, from what I can see.

Cheapest in the PL for an A grade game £30 for best seats West and East stand

At Bolton its £35
Blackburn £35
Man City £36
Liverpool £37
Everton £34

Not Cheap this Football is it.

Thought i was on twiter

I support both clubs but haven't been able to go to Latics this season as i've been out of work and it is just too expensive(to pay on the day) on top of playing out for the rugby.

I'm more of a rugby fan anyway so I had to get my own priorities right. Thankfully I start a new job next week so i'll be able to start going to both again but i'll probably continue to just watch Wigan Athletic away which is something i've done since the farce of our play off game being moved to Widnes.

Until Whelan moves on from Wigan Athletic I won't go to home games.

No, they should be given the bird.

they wont be bothered about the pitch because they won.

had they lost we might have got the blame

He actually called it a rugby league town at the end of the match, i bet that made a few of them mad. The media dont seem to like Latics that much, if were all honest its a sporting town.
