Locked in at Wigan : Sat May 16, 2009 9:32 pm  

Having only two exits left open at the end of the game at the Rovers end was a disgrace and should not be allowed to happen in the future.

Contravention of Health and Safety Rules me thinks.

Also , the large queues to get into the ground because only 4 turnstiles open and they did not have any change.

Still one of my favourite grounds though pity I didn't win the Euro lottery last week else new ground in East Park!

Got in for free at Wigan but had to go into the main west stand, when we asked if we could transfere they had to ask the main steward when he gave the ok we went to get in and apparently the main steward for the West stand isn't authorised to allow a pass without clearing it with the main steward for the North stand!!! Then once that was cleared up the guy at the bottom of the stairs wouldnt let us up because we didnt have North stand tickets! The steward that had a problem with us coming through had to then explain to this other steward who eventually let us up into the stand!

Ok this is Stewards working at their best (or most pedantic) but I found the whole thing especially getting out was a massive mess.

Oh and dont mention the Man Utd game earlier in the week either they didnt seem to impressed with that!!!

We walked straight out, didn't have a problem.

Not surprised, they will be used to catering for their home fans week-in week-out, albeit a tad earlier!?

To be fair to the club, they didn't expect as many fans as you brought. Seriously good support guys, its about time we could hear someone else chant!

Friday was the 4th time we've been at the JJB... surely they should have known!

not a bad record that against probably the most famous team in rugby league
