SuperMikey Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 I'll be doing Man Utd on the Wednesday then Wigan on the Saturday. Have to say i'm looking forward to this one more! Hopefully this snow holds off a bit, 2 trips up to Manc in a week in the snow would be a mare...
100%Red&White Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Sheffield Wed. F.A Cup 1984. We had about 10k up there. Derby and Forest are a bit border midlands/north but we've taken 5k to Derby a couple of times in recent memory and 10k to the City ground in the 70s. We had around 4k at Old Trafford when it was being rebuilt for a night cup game (on Sky) a few years back - good goal by Shipperly ruled out btw - 5k at Liverpool and 3k at City in their first season at the Etihad. I can remember big turnouts at Blackburn and Bolton in the past but not sure over 3k. There's probably more.
Barry Sanchez Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 I wonder if this could be the first time ever we take 3,000 past the Midlands? I cant remember what year it was but we took quite a lot to Liverpool away in the mid 90's, Forest 97 was the most I have ever seen away.
ericofarabia Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 I shall be there. Home game for me Any idea of recommended away fans pubs?
Berkshire Saint Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 I cant remember what year it was but we took quite a lot to Liverpool away in the mid 90's, Forest 97 was the most I have ever seen away. Must have been about 3k for Boro away at the end of last season as well?
saints_is_the_south Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Also recall we took 3K to Blackburn in the Premier League relegation season, think the club may have laid on coach travel or subsidised most of it. Well up for this double header trip in the North West. Looking forward to Wigan more than visiting Old Trafford for the first time.
ericofarabia Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Must have been about 3k for Boro away at the end of last season as well? For a game of such importance that was an embarrassment tbh.
WIGANSAINT Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Eric don't go in any near the train station,the local hooligans have been known to jump fans in there.i would say have a drink just outside wigan to be honest.But if your there for the night the night clubs in the centre are quite a good night.
pingwing Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 For a game of such importance that was an embarrassment tbh. To be fair, Middlesborough is one of the all time biggest dumps I have ever had the misfortune to go too. Not helped by their half full stadium either.

Really? Did nof know Wigan were like that, in fact are they at all?
stockbridge_saint Posted 10 January, 2013 Posted 10 January, 2013 Is anyone else annoyed about the Chelsea tickets? I'm a member, having been to a handful of home and away games this season, but according to the website from tomorrow onwards when I'm eligible to get my ticket you have to go to St Marys to pick it up. This is something I really cannot do in the next couple days as I'm busy living and working in London.

WIGANSAINT Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 barry for the amount of fans they get they are bloody shocking m8.
pangy Posted 11 January, 2013 Posted 11 January, 2013 Whats it like getting from the train station to the ground? I dont think I will make the 12.23 from Birmingham so will have to get the 1.23 which gets in at 14.37,will I be able to jump into a taxi outside that takes me straight to the ground?

I dont think I will make the 12.23 from Birmingham so will have to get the 1.23 which gets in at 14.37,will I be able to jump into a taxi outside that takes me straight to the ground? 20 min walk or taxi, according to footballgroundguide.com
