What a nightmare journey why wasn't kick off delayed when literally thousands of us Wiganers were stuck on the motorway.When we got there 10 minutes before half time the inept stewards wouldn't let us in to the ground saying it was already too full.Why on earth did this happen we bought a ticket and they know how many have been sold.When we got into the Wigan end we couldn't see a thing.I gather we didn't have the strength tonight which is hardly surprising -but well done lads you gave them all a run for their money.Roll on next season - but another trip to that sh*thole no thanks.
I agree, I entered the ground at 7:55pm. I queued up for my tea at the Jacket potato stand after Leeds' first try and 2 coach loads were unloading at the cricket ground - ridiculous.
Our stand was full to bursting but the stewards could have filtered people down to the bottom and off to the sides, where i was stood it seemed 'normally' adequate for more spectators to stand within the vacinity
absolutley spot on. arrived in the ground about five minutes before half time. could not see a thing. used to love going lo leeds but thinking twice next time.
We got there at 20 past eight after turning out from Wigan at 5.40pm.... nightmare.
We were in the paddock and had utterly disgraceful seats. Restricted view is the phrase that springs to mind. If a season ticket holder sits in them, they are being shafted !
we set off from morecambe bout 4 n we got to ground bout 7.30. we got that fed up on motorway we turned off at bradford and sailed through to leeds.my friends didnt get till nearly half time.cant believe the stewards were making all the fans go to the top of the stand to walk down to a space that was just askin for trouble. luckily nobody stated pushin forward
Officially PJ'sNo.1.Fan!!
1/3 of the original Nobby's girls - we have the t-shirts to prove it!!!!!
The phrase packed in like sardines comes to mind.We had a bl**dy big column in front of us. Then after the awful journey had to buy some grub at the ground 2 burgers/ 2 hotdogs/ 1 chips /2 drinks the cost £19.50
Truely shocking last night as regards to the stand,
The stewards didnot have a clue what to do,
And all the while there was plenty room in that waste of money new seating stand on the opposite end of the ground. It would have made sense and been alot safer to have put some fans in them seats,
agree with all the posts on here.we left wigan at half 4 and got there about 7ish parking is a nightmare. like ste said that newstand was half empty so surely its common sense to avoid the situation some wiganers found them in last night they could have been seated in the stand

The stewards also could have stopped leeds supporters entering and watching the game their too, when they must have known how many wigan fans where going to stand there. I was at the front and when i turned around could see at least about 8 leeds fans together. Ridiculous when they can stand elsewhere.
