With away fans, mostly.
18k? They might get that against us and Wire, but that's about it.

I was confused by that.
The "decisions" are obscurely administered in order to not affect this club - purposely done in order to guarantee a sub-standard club a SL franchise!
If they are not deemed not to be "major" breachers of the salary cap - then Wigan, who were only charged with "breaking the spirit of the cap" last season, cannot be deducted points either.
As for its finances and crowd averages - :with:
