It still dosen't look good on TV, when the sold out signs are up, to see empty seats.
I'm not sure about that. I'd probably guess it would go off number of tickets sold as opposed to tickets scanned into the ground as during the season, season tickets are always counted in the attendance
no, a lot is down to football fans (away fans) who have been happily ripping up seats when they have played the Latics, and that was well documented when the tickets were on sale
Well in fact I am not a season ticket holder, attended on Saturday and have purchased my ticket for Friday.the pieman wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 4:35 pmno, a lot is down to football fans (away fans) who have been happily ripping up seats when they have played the Latics, and that was well documented when the tickets were on sale
the new owners of the stadium have tried to consolidate them into specific areas ( it looked like there was a block at the South stand end of the East, that was partially populated)
so we sell out 6 weeks before the game, and it looks like we are still finding reasons to gripe about? We should be using it to get back into the fans that attended to get them there again on Friday if they arent a ST holder

Jukesays confirmed it on RLFans a few weeks back. You could see they’d been put in the ends of the east stand and some small blocks at the bottom of the other 3 stands. The place needs a bomb spending on it apparently and new seats will be part of that.
