My anti-virus software alerted me to a trojan attempt when I opened the poster "Challenge Cup Fourth Round Draw".
Take care.

Was it the banner on the news page of this site??

Sorry, I have no idea.

Flippin eck. I'm going to be paranoid all day now.

I keep getting an email with the subject - "Free Wigan Athletic Tickets".

DON'T OPEN IT.


It contains free Wigan Athletic tickets.

They could be the 15000 + that haven't been sold for this weekend?

Brilliant, just burst out in hysterics in my lecture!

Quality

So that's how they were hoping to get rid of all those spare tickets?

There'll be more Wigan Athletic fans there on Saturday than Wigan RL fans were at our last 2 Challenge Cup semi finals, quite possibly even put together. At least Latics fans have the excuse of it costing £30+ to get to the game and £30+ for a ticket (I've spent £82 so far). What excuses did Wigan fans use for not making it to Warrington at around £20 a ticket and £3.50 on the bus?

The excuse that I used was that I watched it on telly. Tesco had those spicy Pringles on spesh so it was a no brainer really.

I guess it is yes

It's a trip to Wembley FFS, hardly comparable to our annual semi in Huddersfield



Wigan end at Wembley 2011 - Full.
Latics end at Wembley 2013 - 10,000 empty seats.

Simple maths really.

Let's see how many we take to the FINAL.

It's costing me £82 as I said already (2011 cost me £57 for the record) and should we win it will cost me at LEAST £100 going off previous years prices for the final in 4 weeks time. Simple maths really as you say and I can fully understand why someone would want to wait for the final.

Then of course, there's the fact that we've sold the same number as our average so no influx of day trippers which obviously swells crowd figures. How many of the 20,000 we apparently took to the 2011 final watched us all season? How many of the 30,000 expected Millwall crowd were part of the 9,084 crowd they amassed on Tuesday night?

Wigan didn't sell out for a derby against St Helens 12 miles down the road in Warrington. We also didn't sell out for a derby against Warrington in Widnes. Our two biggest games of the season in a semi final 20 minutes down the road. People in glass houses and all that.

Please don't go around confusing the issue with facts when there are EMPTY SEATS to talk about!

Especially when there's a regular thread on here regards ticket prices at £20 being extortionate. I think my ticket, coach, food and a few beers at Bradford on Sunday will cost me less than my ticket and coach to Wembley on Saturday.

Plus you will be entertained

I'd been to 54 cup semi finals watching Wigan RL and its the same grounds over and over again. What's the Latics fans excuse?

You haven't read the post have you?
