I have completed my letter of 'suggestion' to the club. I have suggested the following:

They use their brains and not put a chain across the walk way. This will stop fans having to clamber over fellow fans in a desperate attempt to sit in the seat they have paid £240 for. If the chain is necessary they need to keep the front row of seats available to use as a walkway (this would have been a better ploy if they would have planned ahead in he off season and not sold season tickets for these rows).

I have also suggested buying a light bulb for the toilets outside the east stand. At a cost of approx £3 we can reduce the amount of urine on fans shoes as fans will be able to see where they are urinating.

This is a letter of suggestion not a letter of complaint. This should keep the 'least best' brigade happy.

spot on may i also suggest another bar staff member at £5.20 to serve more beer at the cats bar 4 hours on match day = £20.80 we would need to pay them. The club will make £200+ on beer sales alone. Yea £240 and we have to clamber over seats I think about other people and in our block they are 70+ year olds and they have to do it.

Simple really. Dont spend 2 hrs queueing for beer, go get in your seat early. Then you dont upset the 70 year olds' by treading on them getting to your seat late. And another plus is you wont give those that are happy to queue for beer a headache with your constant moaning Just a suggestion fwiw

Minor point, but it would cost more then the £20.80 you quoted to employ someone for 4 hours.

All in all BV is a very old stadium which inhibits the ways it is run. Things like cordoning off certain areas tend to be bodge jobs as opposed to slick organisation. It shouldn’t have happen and by letting the club know about issues such as the one you encountered should stop it from happening in future.

I will get jumped down the throat for this but I am used to it and I think I am correct as I care about the club but we lose unecessary amounts of money and do daft things. Went to the club shop friday they aint getting anymore medium home kits in christ we are 6 games into the season money lost. People will have to shop else where! Been a season ticket holder for 10 years and sunday I find out I couldnt get to my seat it had been chained off so everyone who was in that block had to clamber over seats and under barriers some were 6 foot 2 plus blokes and some who weren't a shade under 80 years old it really is poor and a complaint will be wrote. George, Grix and Stosic couldnt even get in the ground they had to walk around its embarrassing there the players who put thereselves on the line for us. Also ticket prices £20 doesnt matter to me as im a season ticket holder but it is poor. Its a recession. JJB charge £16 for that ground. Some things by the club at the minute need sorting they really do. Oh and the cats bar this loses money all the time people don't no if its open or shut the money this could make before, after and during would be a good amount for the club. Went at half time sunday massive que 1 person serving, seriously who is running this club a untrained chimp?.Apart from the playing and coaching staff who are doing amazing things for us we need to really do better.

its better to sell out than to have loads left over , the club even had shirts left in february and had to off load them to sports direct for peanuts so risked losing money on them . are you seriouly critizing the club learning from mistakes that cost money or does WTRLFC and the whole fecking world revolve round you and your belated request for a shirt?

Why would the club offload shirts before the season had even begun?

Having no medium shirts at all is BAD. Hope the club can solve this problem.

i was referring to last seasons shirts , what was left from the new year sale where let go at quite a loss, i can understand frustration about it but if the club sales out then they dont lose out. plus if we put supply and demand into high street stores then this too can have a positive effect . my sister once brought a wigan top from the jjb because she liked the top!!! never been to a game yet walks round wakey donning the wigan colours. its a case of damned if you do and damned if you dont

sorry Adam the fact that they have sold out is great they make a big profit and don't have to write a penny of it off.

Gotcha! To be honest, I paid a £10 from Sports Direct for one, easier than getting down to BV for the sale when you rely on public transport and work out of the city 6 days a week.
