I just don't want to have "fartown" yelled down my lughole for 80 minutes

Only joking, Just because of some thing's I've seen in the past, Off course the probability is nothing will happen and I know Hudds aren't that type of club. But in what could be seen as one of the biggest games of the league this season emotions will be running high and it only takes one idiot to say/do something to ruin it.

then that's where the stewards will have to do their jobs

and also other fans to police themselves, it isn't football mate and yes you get the odd idiot but knowing our supporters,if one person steps out of line they will be pulled up over it.

no problem being in a mixed stand but it is nice to know you can move if you want to.

If you are with decent fans to enjoy the game it is fine but Being stuck with 6 drunk scrotes at the side of you might be too much

maybe in hindsight when it became obvious lots of Fartowners were buying these tickets Wigan could have allocated a block to each set of fans?.

The traffic problem has been sorted, extra lane under the bridge that caused the bottleneck. Heinz as part of their sponsorship deal have bought most of the seats in the North Stand (behind the posts) They do this one game every year and allow former workers to purchase them for £5 each.



Travel safely and enjoy your night, but not too much.

Sounds a bit of a fiasco. You pays your money you makes your choice as they say

There was a similar situation when Crusaders played their last SL game, then the away end was Heinz and Group On and the Cru fans were officially where the Group On Tickets are for the game on Friday. Even the Crusaders fans who ended up in the "away end" were not allowed to move to where the bulk of the away support was.

so let me get this straight,

blocks 1 & 2 in the east stand will be a mix of wigan and Huddersfield fans?

the north stand will be a mix of wigan and Huddersfield fans?

The North Stand is the designated away stand.

Correct.

The North stand though should be segregated as half of the stand has been closed last few games, Huddersfield will get one half & Heinz the other half.

Huddersfield away support is traditionally poor with only Catalan & London bringing less fans so for the Huddersfield club to be given North stand tickets is progress and Wigan would have expected the Huddersfield away support to have purchased their tickets via their own ticket office.

Wigan will have then got Groupon involved to try and fill out the East stand with tickets intended for Wigan fans as Huddersfield had their own allocation for the North.

So there will be a mix of fans now in the North end of the East stand near the big screen.

Bit naive of Wigan to presume that at £7.50 each some of our fans wouldn't be buying the groupon deal and pay £21 instead. Surely they would have expected that a national deal like this would have attracted visiting fans to the price too.

And for what its worth i'e been in the North at Wigan about 5 times so its not unusual for us to be in there.

I remember you thinking our support was traditionally poor a few short years ago and failing to open the away stand- which ended up with an extremely cramped section of the crowd and extremely busy stewards as they attempted to sort our the arguments that broke out over seating. You have since opened the away stand for Huddersfield- which you haven't done for other teams so your suggestion that we bring the third least number of fans is quite frankly trolling poop- but if it floats your boat...



The dealings I've had this week with Wigan ticket office is also quite frankly the least helpful and least knowledgeable (or contains the biggest liars) of all of those I have had to deal with over the years, (I've attended over 50 different stadia in the years I've been following Huddersfield through their many divisions) so it doesn't surprise me in the least that they don't have the common sense to make things easier for themselves by allowing away fans with east stand tickets to go with other away fans in the north stand- after all according to you we bring less than 200 fans in total anyway!
