The simple answer to me was for the club to have a system in place where junior vouchers can be reserved and picked up on the day at the away ground, just as they can if you pay for them. Oh, silly me, the second involves money wheras the first only concerns the safety of children. What am I thinking about, I should get my priorities right etc.

Or... collect them from the JJB Stadium in the week running up to the game to be on the safe side.

What you're saying makes sense Flash but money is the incentive for both parties. Juniors could reserve tickets and then change their mind about going because it's no loss to them. (e.g. I once purchased a child ticket because it was only a pound extra on the off chance my sister wanted to go). Then you end up with left over tickets that can't be sold to adult fans incase the child turns up a little late, when instead they've gone to play down the park with their friend instead.

Sorry Rob, you're still missing the point. Picking them up at the JJB the week before would only wash as an argument if the club hadn't sent them to the HJ. If they'd said 'sorry we can't guarentee you tickets, you should have picked them up last week' then that would be acceptable. Parents would then know that they couldn't get tickets and could make their decision based on that. Juniors were sent to the HJ on the advice of the club and for this to be acceptable, there should have been provision for them to get in. If that means they had to go to the JJB to hand over their vouchers and in return the club made sure there was a ticket waiting for them, then that would also be fine. That would negate the possibility of unwanted tickets being left at the ground. However to just send them down there without making provision is simply unacceptable.

Good point most people work weekdays so were unable to take their kids to the JJB. On Saturday Wigan had sent their tickets back. Then at 2pm on Sat the HJ had closed. So this was a very small window to get your ticket in that week. Poor communication from Wigan really as Wire advertised a shirtage of tickets midweek in the local paper. I blame our club.
