So what is it about Wigan? I've known for months, even before the fixtures were announced, we would be going. Unless something happens in one of the cups this will be our only away trip of the season. Back in my youth it was always Wigan struggling for election to the league. 34 attempts I think it took them and I always had half an eye on their results.

Would 3000+ travel if it wasn't NYE? Is just because it's close? The Dave Whelan factor? In some ways a similar club to Rovers, is this the answer? I can't say I know the reason but the Wigan games are the two I'm most looking forward to this season.

It's because its about 30 mins down the road and not that expensive. You could even cycle to it.

A victory today should help shift a few more, if we can't sell 5000 for a game 20 minutes away on a bank holiday we should pack it all in.

Gav, with all due respect, typical overstatement. As I understand it you've not been able to go to so many away games recently. (I haven't been able to either although this season I've seen all bar Citeh on dodgy foreign Telly) So really it ill begets either of us to criticise levels of away support.

This game was always going to sell out. Despite Grooby's equally predictable pessimistic assertion it wouldn't. wink.gif

So let's just enjoy the day. And hopefully the result. thumbs-up.gif
