Oh dear. Season tickets are non transferable, so you've broken your t&c of purchase. (Even though I know this is widely practiced and tolerated throughout) Like as ever, you're a commodity treated with money grabbing contempt, not a welcomed loyal returning customer that might spend more because of your emotional connection to the club. Sometimes it's not so much what they do, but how they do it.. If I buy a ticket for the theatre, and then can't make it, I can pass the ticket for the seat which I have paid for onto somebody else. I've never understood why football tickets are viewed differently. Totally agree.

I'm coming at this from a different angle, I'm under 40, very tech literate so having the tickets on my phone isn't an issue. However I much prefer a physical card for a couple of reasons. One my card can't run out of charge, and secondly if I can't attend I can hand it over to a mate. I suspect that second reason is a big driver for this, means if we have a big game I can't attend then my ST goes on the exchange and the club can make a few quid out of my seat on re-sale. Oh dear.

What about people not on facebook or these forums? I have just rang an elderly friend to advise him of this and he also is furious. This is not something they have thought of today and this should have been cascaded before renewal. Did they think less people would renew with the increase and the lack of plastic ticket with extra charge? If the football had been better it may not have been such a sucker punch. Seriously £15 a ticket what is it made of? Is that £15 every year? I have two redundant ones her now already why cannot they just be reactivated. If there was a complaints email I think everyone should make their feelings known. Be lucky as the other mob over the river introduced this unilaterally last year too. It appears to be the way forward for a lot of clubs.

All of you.
All of us.
We're just looked on as a commodity.
... club has learned nothing from COVID where nurturing of fans needs were missed.
Now it's a scramble to get as much out of you as possible. Or that's how it feels......can the cost really equate to £15?

Ward 8.5 m o m 3 saves in first half to keep it decent. Hoole 5 poor. Wilson 5 one clear off line but generally poor. Baggott 7 best of defence. Vale 6 tried his best but not a defender and got rinsed on the back line. Thomas 5 tried but inaffective. Rossiter 5.5 we need him next season to play more. Aguilera 4 powder puff Wigan were having none of it. Evans 5 poor. Sinclair 6 tried hard but lacking support so easily snuffed out as a threat. Brown
Cox Connolly 4 poor. McCormick 4 hasn't turned up last few matches. Lawrence Vaughan 4 looks like a child out there contributed nothing. Shaw 5 nice to see him get a start and tried to get stuck in. Conteh 7 classier.
Ref 4.5 homer and most 50/50 didn't go our way. Wigan 6.5 a real undercurrent of a strong team here...one to watch as a dark horse next season. I really liked their wizard of a 17, turned our full back in and out and no one had any understanding of doubling up on him because he made our defence look embarrassing.
Not good enough.
MT shame on you for not even taking time to applaud the very people who contribute to your wages by putting themselves out more than usual for the early kick off and you deliver this drivel.....and rubbish you haven't played more youth players of our own, rather than players who know they're not going to be here in July.
Poor all round. Mediocre football. No one cares. And the loyal lap dogs still applaud... Crazy!

O2, was it you I was speaking about the gig with the lad from Inspiral Carpets? If so, did you go and how was it? If not,then sorry for the odd question? 😁🏴☠️ No problem. Doesn't ring a bell, maybe it was the beast inside?(!)

Just got back..
From a wonderfully mediocre season and last game whimper...awful...not good enough.
Absolutely brilliant the Gas family encompasses solo traveller, family, groups and couples alike...met another new to me fella, good on you, T.
Absolutely fine fettle moods in and around Wigan from she Shaven Moon to the shoot shoot shoot the bar steward establishments....not least to mention a big shout out to Station Cafe opposite Wallsgate that got the ball rolling...gert lush if ever we deserved a decent start.
Anyways, onto more less important things:
Jed Ward lad take a bow....3 saves in first few minutes kept it respectable. My m o m
Scotty tried. So did a few others. Nice clearance from Wilson off the line, but defence fella of moment once again, Bags. Nice debut for Kofi....some p*ssed up fella thought it was Gordon on! Haha!
And that's about it.
Their no 17 Good a genuine gem ...his trickery left and right baffled us. A true wizard. One to watch next season...
Jed Ward respectable. Matt Taylor not so much. Hardly recognised fans on final whistle. Not for the first time.... he's not enamoured himself with the majority of fanbase.
Some shirts went into the crowd. Some tears on final whistle (celebrations or commiserations?) presumably of boredom...?
Never have I seen such mediocrity been celebrated so much, by so many to so few that actually appear to care..
Ps....oh and some of our songs are becoming embarrassing. But then again, I'm old fashioned.
Enjoy the summer break, Gas and see you then other side..... it'll be a genuine pleasure connecting back up again! UptheGas..

No threats that I can see as the below will soon become above..
How many underfunded clubs continue to outperform us, let alone the bankrolled outfits..

Did one of the Gas Girls get their knob out?
(Ricky Gervais cracked a very similar joke so don't have a go at me!)...

No need, we are the Pirates. We need not only a new manager and team but the owners to be trueful and get their act together. Wish they were all BRISTOLIONS and not Kuwaites, we cannot wait much longer. Have you got a problem with people from Kuwait ? Not unless they're occupation is a Pirate.

But it's not just about akinfenwa himself on his own is it?Many others in and around the stadium might have seen and heard it as a form of abuse, as well as, or opposed to comedy value: much like AG or LTN back in the day and taken huge offence. But where do you go if you take that form of abuse in public but it's not recognised as racist homophobic sexist misogynistic anti Semitic islamaphobic (curiously , not Christian phobic though?)? Like my original post alludes, some forms of abuse appear to be protected, others don't because it's funny or just not taken seriously. As mentioned in an earlier post. I think your sentiment is correct, your examples aren't examples that work. Drop the Akinfenwa and use "Who ate all the pies". Then, yes you can continue with your approach. That particular chant make people feel uncomfortable if they are of a certain body type. We shouldn't have any fans that feel uncomfortable. I think essentially, we are in agreement. Gasify... they're the same type of songs just one is more satirically witty than the other. Nice to come from different angles and agree though. You don't see that too often here.

Also on the subject of abusing refs, have you noticed the song 'you bald bar steward' has receded (see what I done there?) from our song vocabulary now our ageing fanbase rings one out from the Thatch End!?

What if many found Love Thy Neighbour as 'funny'? It ran for many series. Or, Alf Garnett character....? Is that Bantz!? Nope... because racial abuse is a protected abuse. Fat abuse amongst others isn't, but both can be funny and abusive. Can you see the point I'm making?No, not really. The point I was making is that is Akinfenwe thought it was funny, that is OK. If Akinfenwe thought it was out of order then that is not OK. It is about the person receiving the comment. If they voluntary believe is to be funny, then that's fine. If they are unhappy about the comment, then that is not fine. If a gay person used a gay slur to one of their friends, that is OK. If a heterosexual used that same word, it's not OK. Tim Minchin explains this very well: But it's not just about akinfenwa himself on his own is it?

Overall the league really lacked quality in my opinion, think all promoted sides will really struggle with the jump to Championship Yep we missed a trick this season with our poor timing of injury suspension and transition..

Thanks, g but respectfully disagree... because the thrust of what I'm inferring from your post is: It's ok as it's under a comedic banner. Unfortunately cancel culture negates this. This world generally views abuse abuse, no matter what sentiment behind it. The thrust of what I was saying is how it makes that person feel. If that person finds it funny, it's Bants. If the person doesn't then it's bullying. What if many found Love Thy Neighbour as 'funny'? It ran for many series. Or, Alf Garnett character....? Is that Bantz!? Nope... because racial abuse is a protected abuse. Fat abuse amongst others isn't, but both can be funny and abusive. Can you see the point I'm making?
