LanguedocFox Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Clint Hill will be banned retrospectively by Video panel ! Should of been Penalty to Wigan and Hill sent off for QPR for deliberate elbow . I doubt he'll be banned, because it didn't look deliberate, though it should probably have been a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The surprising and disappointing ting for me was that they got 500 below their average gate for the play-off semi, despite QPR bringing a very good contingent. That doesn't lessen my respect for the club or those that did turn out, but it makes me wonder what the rest of the town was up to. Perhaps they missed out on fans living away from wigan attending the match. The only found out they were playing on sunday so leaves little time for getting off work. Also with Wigan, it's not that long since they've even been in the football league. It's not like they used to have 50-60k back in the 50s when everybody else did.

needles Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 ...then again you could knock us for not having taken up the last 300 tkts which Brighton sent to us.... To be fair to Wigan...there was a LOT of noise coming from the crowd and those who were there obviously loved their club and were passionate. Thats good enough for me. Your home town on a Friday versus Brighton away on a work night? No comparison. I'm not knocking anyone who did turn up, the club, or anything - just an observation. If we got 24,000 on Sunday, wouldn't you be asking questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don't mind the small average attendance. What pisses me off is when they want to have 30k tickets for Wembley. To allow for some glory supporters at both clubs, they should give us 35k and them 20k The rest should go on general sale to whoever, and let them all sit together, there's be no trouble as they aren't really proper passionate club supporting fans anyway, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which they would again. Gripe against Wigan is they're more bothered about egg chasing than football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Gripe against Wigan is they're more bothered about egg chasing than football. They always have been. Wigan are one of the biggest rugby clubs in the country and have been in the Super League forever. The rugby club is probably older than the football one. Nowt wrong with rugby.

My point is there are many deserving cities where it would transform the community to have the success they've had recently. Yet they are not bothered in the slightest because they prefer rugby.

Mafiabob Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 What's with the Wigan fans bashing? Who gives a feck how many fans a team gets... Wigan are a small-town club surrounded by the PL's biggest clubs outside of London, so what they get like 14,000... Why knock it? Why we're at it, let's knock Villarreal for getting around 17k for a Champions league semi-final... Oh wait, let's not, as they're a million miles away in what really matters... The quality on the pitch. Seriously, I was reading the Brighton forum and many there think they're some kind of massive club now they get 25k fans every week... I mean, are you kidding me? Give me Villarreal's 17k and a host of frankly brilliant footballers and a CL semi-final over 25k and a bunch of losers on the internet having a w&nk over it... agreed, and also ambitious reply, can't be doing with attendance arguments. I've been there done it on the past, but it's sad when that's the only thing most fans deem it as success to have a higher average crowd than there local rivals, or take more away etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnleydon Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 You could also call Derby poorly supported for only averaging 93 more away fans than Burnley. Burnley being a town with a population of 70,000 people and Derby being a City with a population of 250,000. Interesting eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnleydon Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Really winds me up when fans of City clubs think their club is massive or any better than another club due to having a few more fans. Bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our support is one of the best in the UK when you consider each club's catchment area. Derby averaged 93 more away fans than us last year, Derby is 5x the size of Burnley lol And I ain't bothered how many fans we have if I am honest, we will sell out every game next season.. I'd rather we didn't, f*** the glory seekers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
