Wigan were given all of the Darwen End.

The talk here suggests they've sold just 1000.

Expect an attendance around the 20,000 mark

not good for a local derby is it. Maybe we should let the fans in for lesser price for the final remaining home matches to help us fill the ground and generate a proper atmosphere to help steer the lads to europe.

I've given up on the attendance front,its no use, the interest is simply not there anymore.

Why the hell our club gave Wigan the whole Darwen end is beyond me when they haven't had a decent away following all season?

Probably because we sold out their away end and expected them to do the same.

I agree though, the attendance figures are now beyond a joke - 20k for a Premiership team is disgraceful, especially one currently sitting in 5th. It's tough to blame the club though, there's little more they can feasibly do

Jesus wept. Thats really shocking. I thought we were bad.

[des]

I hope that we win and I think that we will.

Has for the gates for some fans its down to budgets. the Club as one and one wants to see it live outside its means and do a Leeds. Likewise fans have budgets and we do not want to live outside our means.

I have it on good authority that wigon are expecting tobring no more than 1400 supporters.

Maybe Lee can shed light on suggestions its a pay on the night game also

[Quack]

I'll predict a home win, 3-1, Pongo / Bellamy x2 and Camara for the Latics.

1400 away fans is dire - makes our away support look prolific.

Not as bad as the pathetic 200 bolton took to boro last week

How about our 200 to Everton last season!?

Did you go to that game? I assume not as otherwise you would have seen there were far more than that.

[Lee]

Not much more from my view opposite Mr Blue

[Manchester Blue]

I know it's always harder to tell when you're in the crowd but i'd be amazed if there wasn't closer to 500. I went up to Sunderland a few years ago for a replay and there was about 250 and there was a certainly more at Everton.

i read reports lastnight that rovers old boy david thompson has recovered from his knee injury and is pushing for a place in the wigan first 11.

i don't know if these will play but there a few other ex rovers on wigans books:

filan

henchoz

Wigan will bring more fans than 1400, even if the game is a Sky game. It's a big game for them as well as us, They need the points to keep their season going, they believe that they are still in the Uefa Cup race which mathematically is true.

[Hughesy]

Any official news on the tickets they have sold??

Lawro has predicted us to lose - so i predict us to win. 3-1

[Rovermatt]

Lawrenson's predictions this week are pretty run of the mill. As soon as he gets to us all logic goes out the window. We're higher than Wigan in the table, we beat them last time out and we haven't lost a home game in God knows how long; yet he predicts that they'll beat us. What an idiot.

His prediction isn't without basis - Wigan have one of the best away records in the Premiership. Yes our home record is also excellent - but the pace of Camara and Roberts could well come to haunt us. My big fear is a Newcasle type match - where we are far superior but keep getting caught on the break. Lets hope I am wrong - I am sure Sparky will have done his homework.

i have a clan of 3 extras coming with me

2 have been before this season, one of them it is there first game

interestingly my mate who a s/t with me last season, has not been to a game since the last home game of last season

[RevidgeBlue]

I really couldn't care less whether the Wigan fans fill the Darwen end or come in a taxi as long as we get the 3 points!
