    Just been watching the wigan lads queuing for their fa tickets. But why? they're hardly likely to sell their 30k allocation after their pathetic effort at the semis. Id have thought theyll be more likely to be sending back a bundle of unsold ones

    When Warnock was appointed thousands of Leeds fans booked hotels in wembley for the final to celebrate their auto promotion and cup winning double <doh> .So Wigan are afraid they may still want tickets <ok>

    Eire is just green with envy.

    Not that he would go to wembley IF Leeds ever got to wembley with him being an ' armchair ' plastic.

    Last time we were at Wembley we got given an extra allocation of tickets Doncaster couldn't sell. Our fans also started buying tickets in the Doncaster end because we sold out of our own allocation.

    Don't sneakily imply that we couldn't fill it because all our fans are "armchair" fans.

    And I was at that match with one of my daughters. Cost me a grand that weekend, paid for on my credit card, so as as the hullpussy said, that must make me plastic

    Probably queing because they're in the final and want to go watch it, it sounds the most logical thing to me.

    His point was they don't have to queue because the supply is higher than the demand.

    So, essentially, we could be facing a paradox of thrift.

    They might not have sold out the semi, but they'll probably sell out the final.

    It's not like there's anything else to do in Wigan anyway, they might as well kill a few hours queuing.
