Got to pack the Ricoh out for this one haven't we? Give Wigan and their big bucks a proper introduction to League 1.

Set Mogga's boys off with some proper Sky Blue support! Come on!

Be lucky to get over 12k atm IMO.

I'll be there though

 

[matesx]

14000 me thinks

 

[ccfc92]

14000 me thinks

How many Wigan?

They'd surely bring 1.5-2,000 at least, first game n that.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

14000 me thinks

Which would mean they would have to open up Cov tel stand because the tesco stand only holds 10k I think? May be wrong

 

[Limey]

Would be great to get a few in that are staying away/lost some interest, whatever, just for one game. The atmosphere like we had against Gillingham was amazing. Who knows, with TM's team we might get a few more to stick.

Be nice if the Trust could issue a rallying call!

 

[simonregis]

Depends who they bring in

 

[Ashdown]

I don't think Wigan take many anywhere do they ?

I thought it was +16k that they had to open the Telegraph stand?

But even so, 16k packed together, would be better than 16k scattered across the ground IMO.

Middle of six weeks school,college, and univ holidays. It remains a daft time to start the season. It was much better when the season began on the last Saturday in August. Everything about football was better then, of course.

Unless they get consent to open the home end of the Jewsons stand (or whatever its called nowadays), I imagine it would need to be around 11-12k before the CET stand is opened - approx. 8-10k for Tesco and 2-3k in stand opposite (not including corporate).

 

[covcity4life]

I will be in Maldives. Can't believe I am gutted haha

How many ca we fit in tesco stand? Would we need to open up telegraph stand for 14k?

 

[Wiseoldfool]

I imagine they would open the telegraph stand block at a time once it looks like being over 14,000

 

[christonabike]

15896 a minimum a good few folks will see how we go and take it from there. A decent performance and it will continue for about two days when all the gaylords from the "return to the Ricoh" slither away .:jerkit:

Nuneaton 0-0

Luton 1-1 (Maddison)

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Thanks a lot STP

Pack the Ricoh? 13,000 tops. New season or not, no one gives a crap anymore apart from your die-hard and fringe die-hards.

I also fear we could be on the end of a right thumping.

They would come flooding back if we had a sniff of success. You seem one of life's pessimists.

 

[skybluelee]

11-12k City fans plus whatever they bring sounds about right.

 

[Kingokings204]

Wigan will surely bring nearly 2k themselves. It's not far and they are easily a team that should be top 6 without a doubt.

That in mind I say 12-14k total. Be a decent crowd

 

[ccfcmad1]

Around 14k mark I would say 12-13k city, wigan not known for travelling well but first game of the season may bring a few more out 1500 or so

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

Didn't they once take 93 to Spurs in the premier league?

 

[AndreasB]

Fully expect Having just one stand open will be shit .

Wigan bought less than 1,000 to Highfield Road when they were top if the championship so can't see it being any more than that.

Nathan Ellinngton Screamer IIRC, we really didn't get much of a sniff (that night?) De Zeuw marshalling their excellent defence .

Maybe their fans will be doing a "League One Tour" for their only season at this level, complete with t-shirts. Where have I heard that before?

 

[CCFCKirky]

Hope we get a big crowd in for this one but I think we will be lucky to get 13k. Hopefully we will give Wigan a decent game but I think we will be lucky to get a draw in this one

 

[Ashdown]

It's the sort of game that years ago was category C for us, now I should think it's a category A glamour game. If this piss down summer continues I should think folk will be delighted to go and watch some live sport !

Remember the early 90's Gold, Silver & Bronze.
Gold was Man Utd Liverpool and Villa
Bronze was something like Wimbledon & Southampton
Silver was everyone else

 

[bringbackrattles]

Wigan are a poorly supported team as they are a Rugby League town so they will only be bringing around a thousand I bet.The gate will probably be around 12-13 000,and it will get higher if we get off to a decent start over the months ?

 

[Macca]

I don't think Wigan take many anywhere do they ?

About 12 or as many as it takes them to lay siege to Far Gosford Street. Yes, 12

It was a midweek game though. They brought 2k + for that Saturday match in 2003

Was the 2-2 game where we were winning 2-0 in the 88th minute & Scott Shearer cost us the game!?
