Wigan Meet Up Thread

[Libby]

Absolutely

Whichever channel we are on, we won't get a mention.

Either 'Heroic Wigan go to Wembley' or 'Plucky Wigan Cup run ends' will be the story.

I prefer it that way.

 

[Libby]

City fan on another board has just told me they got 5000 and tickets tonight were only £15.

 

[saintrichie123]

Charlie might be back around that time.......hopefully.

I'd say that's fair enough, seeing as they are League One, and they just knocked out one of the best teams in Europe.

Absolutely buzzing now.

Though I've just realised I've no chance of a semi ticket if we get there, what allocation do the teams get for semi finals?

One game at a time...

Sorry, i was checking how the Charity Shield encroaches on my Summer holiday

I wonder when the Europa League groups are drawn....?

 

[Libby]

I wonder when the Europa League groups are drawn....?

And where's the final being held next year?

 

[mowgli]

And we were in way better shape as a team then, compared to now - even if we were in a bit of a slump at the time.

Ah - and there was me thinking of Bradford '76

 

[thereisonlyoneno7]

It's destiny, The meaning of life is 42.

1976 was 42 years ago.

 

[Libby]

I believe this also means VAR won't be in play.

We may go into this game as favourites (for some strange reason), but everyone in the country, bar us, is going to want us to lose.

Reckon some City fans might be supporting us!

Got a feeling it will be Monday 19th evening KO on the BBC.

I bloody hope not.

I think it might be international week though which if is correct then surely there won't be a Monday game but friday instead? With Wigan having a midweek match the week leading up to it then I'd say we should be the weekend...

Yes I'm clutching at straws!

Think I read somewhere the fixtures were to be played on the weekend of 16-19 th......so in theory could be the Monday .....depends what the BBC and BT want I expect.

Yeah but if it is international week then there's never normally a MNF for PL games even is there?

England play on the 23rd and 27th so I think you be correct about the Monday possibility.......Saturday 17.30 is my new guess

Semi finals, boys and girls. That was Wigans cup final!

Well done.

Wow, that’s £0.003 each.

Throwing their money away won’t make them popular, and I may be no strategist but that is no way to run a football club.

You know what, they’ll pay £50m for a **** right back soon...
