You know it. Built as a football ground; currently being squatted in by town's second-favourite team.

BTW What does 'should it you trying to sat JJB is your home????' mean? did you skive off your English lessons?

You want to look it up, fella. Cuckoos are renowned for taking other birds' homes and appropriating them for themselves. Ring any bells?

Wigan Athletic's average last season - 20,233.

Our highest-ever aveage crowd - 14,680 (1993/94)

Latics' average that season - 1,897

There's been something of a sea-change alright.[/u]

Didn't we only got 18,358 on against Saints last year?

Behave: you know we give free ickets to schools every game.

And anyway, the Watford game was £20 whereas this one's only £14.

Even more incentive to get a bigger crowd than the soccer men.

Aye, it was against Watford. 16,359 turned up. Very comparable to Friday night, I'd have thought, with it being against an unfashionable London team who brought no away support to speak of. Do you reckon we'll get 16,300 on, then?

Argue among yourselves and stick your heads in the sand all you like, I just never thought I'd see the day when we needed free tickets for Latics fans to prop up our gates. Still, if 1,000 take it up then we should hopefully keep above the 14,000 mark.

<t>This Friday, Latics season ticket holders are entitled a free ticket to go and see a proper game. I hope lots of them take it up, seeing as our crowd dropped from 21,000 against Wire to 15,000 against Hiull KR, and I can't see Harlequins bringing 1,000 like Hill did. Is this going to be another s...

It seems a lot of people here don't want a balnced and reasonable debate about this. Maybe the cricket ground suggestion was a non-starter but this thread has revealed a mix of opinions about the groundhare (as well as some downright lies about the two clubs' relative attendances).
