philipl Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 If we win the three games this week then interest for this one will be huge and there is a week between the Pompey game and Wigan.

Details here :- https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2017/october/ticket-news-wigan-a/ £25 a ticket and tickets on general sale 5 days before the game (is that normal?) Anyone would think they don't want away fans to buy tickets.
philipl Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 After yesterday's performance, we should have a bumper turn out at Wigan as this could be the season decider.
Mattyblue Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I bought mine post match yesterday and they are still only selling the two middle blocks (out of about 7), so we’ve some serious selling to do this week...

In fairness though, due to Wigans ineptitude, they are only on general sale from tomorrow. I think yesterday might just have convinced some of the waverers to buy one. On the other hand they might just think another false dawn.........................

We should be all over this fixture like a rash. If we ever needed to really come out in force for a fixture then this is it! Fill that end at Wigan and it really would be a statement that potential purchasers would find difficult to ignore! That aside, it's imperative we win there! Just think if the Chinese consortium in for Wigan had a rethink after seeing a passionate away following and a 0-3 scoreline! And then Venkys wouldn’t sell.
tomphil Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Think we'll have 2 to 3k at this but no more, still a good following but not a new ground a very often visited one and not as easy access on the train for all the day trippers on the pish as Rochdale / Oldham/Bury etc so a lot might swerve it and save their cash for another day. Shame as the magnitude of the game should see it nearly full but what the hell were they playing at with the tickets ? Shocking effort by both clubs so no one can be surprised when far less than you'd expect turn up.
Mattyblue Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Just unlucky timing really, load of local away matches coming one after the other. Then apart from Fleetwood (very small allocation), we’ve no local away matches at all after November. If Wigan away had been in the run in (assuming both clubs challenging for promotion), you’d imagine it would be our biggest following there since the days of THAT goal!
mhead Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 A bit better weather and we will sell out.....all my friends called Brian are going!

We have an allocation of about 27,000 against Fleetwood. I would be amazed if Wigan doesn't attract at least 3,000 travelling Rovers fas.

Mattyblue Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 My point was that after November we will have played all our local away games apart from Fleetwood (which is in January). Plus it isn’t a chance for a big following as I believe the allocation is around 1/1.5k

There's only 1 change on train easier than some mentioned guess its where you located for ease of journey.
Skiptonrover Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 When you get on the cut is it a left or right don't want to end up in liverpool last time I went I got a bus from the town centre a few years ago it's on a estate as I recall wasn't Springfield. I can always ask a local regarding the canal.
tomphil Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Going into Manchester might be the attraction for a lot of day trippers on the lash for other local games anyway we'll see on the day i'm sure it'll be another healthy turnout. I'm not going to spend the morning sifting through national rail enquiries to enter a train stop pissing contest . 1 hour ago, Bluebarley said: When you get on the cut is it a left or right don't want to end up in liverpool last time I went I got a bus from the town centre a few years ago it's on a estate as I recall wasn't Springfield. I can always ask a local regarding the canal. We always get there early and park next to a pub near where Springfield park used to be I think, Bricklayers Arms or Brickmakers or something. Down the side of there through the estate and over the cut on that bridge. It's an ok pub to go in after as well, everyone will be watching rugger if it's on
Mattyblue Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Wigan Central? A cracking place for a first (or last!) beer if coming by train.

Stop when you get to the ground. For anyone looking for a bit of a challenge it's 21.5 miles from Ewood Aqueduct all along the towpath.

The London-bound trains are best to hop on as they stop first at Wigan...it’s barely worth sitting down. The Liverpool trains will stop once or twice before As you walk out of the station and turn left just the other side of the bridge there, there’s is a smashing real ale pub the name of which just escapes me. Liverpool trains can be caught at Euxton. Easy parking, unlike Preston, much nearer to Blackburn and only takes a few minutes more than the London trains.
nathan_rovers1 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Direct train from London, would be rude not to.

Threepenny Bit Foot Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Off topic, sorry - anyone know when Bury away tickets will be on sale?
