Wigan Away

[Compo's Hat]

Only if you don't include travel cost. Probably about the same as QPR when you think about it.

Not if you're travelling in a car.

Or by train.

Some of you need to buy a map

[mr_number]

Sorry, not clear, was suggesting that it would cost much more than QPR when you include travel, not that the day out would be a bargain.

[Compo's Hat]

No, about the same.

[mr_number]

Wigan: £80 for a train +£20 ticket...
QPR: £20 for train + £45 ticket...

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Only if you're comparing getting the train with driving up on your own. Stick 4 in a car and Wigan is far cheaper.

Wigan: 4 people in a car paying £20 each + £20 ticket...
QPR: £20 for train + £45 ticket...

Potentially in, although I've already done one long away trip this season and came away without seeing any football, hope that doesn't happen again.

Wiz, if you're going on the train, remember there's two stations very close to each other up there. Wigan North Western is on the west coast mainline and Wigan Wallgate for local Manchester etc services. Boozed up confusion could be and a pain to reschedule. I know, I've done it. Ended up in bloody Kirkby then had to get to Liverpool just to get back to Crewe.

4 people in a car can't be compared to a train journey for the other to be fair. If you shared a car to QPR it would make it about the same as going to Wigan.

Anyone know how much coach will be for this one? I'm guessing more than the match ticket?

Anyone know why someone would consider going to an away game by coach? Does it still stop for 3 hours at Chieveley so that Denny Fulbrook can have his lunch?

Bonfired for Wigan away

[Royals-lad14]

cheapest away day of the season definitely in

[Jerry St Clair]

Away fans sat on the side for that, I have a figure of 6,000 in my mind but may have dreamt that as it seems a lot.

We had about 5,500 tickets, but didn't sell them all. Prob around 5,000.

We took 4000-4500 for the play off game. Lots of empty seats on that side despite the large travelling support. The entire gate was only 12,000, I dont think we had 50% of the gate. Still ,a proper turn out that day.

Personally I'd rather sit through a long journey on a train than on a coach, but when the return by coach is £22 door-to-door, and the return by train is £83.50 with a change, there's really no competition for someone like me for whom money is a bit tight atm.

Cheapest adult return rail ticket from Reading to Wigan is £62.10p, rebooking at Banbury and Manchester, as explained on this thread:

In for the fact it is really good value and not too far from Chesterfield. Also never been to the JJB, so that will be another ground to tick off. Just hope we don't sell out the allocation before it goes on sale for those without a season ticket....

[DaveBanana]

Mega confused - I'm trying to book tickets for myself and two others but it'll only let me purchase one? I've added them as "friends and family" am I being spastic or....?

[RFCUK]

Tickets purchased, in the right stand when looking out from the away end.

First ever time in the home end at an away game (apart from Stamford Bridge, but was in a box so that doesn't really count). Sort of worried as I tend to be a vocal fan.. I'll try and get some decent videos of the massive away following for the 500 mile round trip...

Have we sold out then? There were loads of tickets left when I got mine this morning
