In the thread 'Good Luck latics', someone called Uncle Fester states that Latics' average attendance this season is 17,408. I think, sir, you'll find the figure you're looking for is 21,131.

It's all very well the club telling us that 17,281 against Leeds was some kind of club record, but there have only been three Latics league games this season - Charlton, Fulham and Middlesboro - with less than that on (and only just). How many do you think we'll get on against Giants?

sorry fraggle
just amazes me now latics are doing well everyone expects us rugby fans to surport them aswell. but i remeber the late 1990's when wigan rlfc were the greatest rl team in the world, latics fans hated it and they made it know to most rugby fans at the time that they hated wigan rlfc and theis fans

I'm too young to remember, but didn't their attitude stem from our chairman at the time (Jack Robinson?) saying "We would so much as share a car park with Wigan Athletic" when they needed to play a cup tie? Guess the boot's on the other foot now that we've been forced to share their ground.

It's not "their ground" any more than it is ours.

Does that include cup games for the Latics.

Averages would be a lot lower if they were taken ito account.

No just league games. But to be fair, the crowds of 11-13,000 for the League/FA Cup games against Newcastle, Bolton, Leeds and Arsenal would stand up fairly well against our Challenge Cup crowds.

It is, as thay say, all relative.

The latics home crowd for the semi final was the lowest ever recorded in the competition. That is bad.

The RL crowd V Leeds was a record by some margin for that fixture. That is good.

The actual crowd figures are not that iportant it is the trend (up or down) and how they compare to their contemporaries in theier own sports that counts.

I went to watch latics at Wembly when I was a kid when they were in the final of the FA Trophy (or was it FA Vase, anyway the thing that is/was the FA Cup equivalent for non-league sides).

They were in the NPL back then and still managed to take over 20,000 to the ground. Don't know where they all went in the intervening years!
