Wigan away tickets - cash advised
Presumably too late to buy online now. For anyone paying on the gate it's worth taking cash with you. Last season away ticket desk was cash only (nowhere else was) and the nearest cashpoint is hidden away at the other end of the retail park (next to 'Boots' if you do need it). Might have just been a midweek thing but best to be prepared.

Our ticket website says cash only at the ground (which surprised me)
If I was naughty I would suggest a few Wiganers are pocketing a few pennies..but I'm not so won't 😀
It was the same at Hillsborough. I only just made it to the cashpoint and back in time to see us 1-0 down (after less than a minute) last time I went
Inside Hillsborough that day were guys working for SWFC asking how much we paid and at which turnstile. They obviously had a 'skimming' problem
No excuse for anywhere to be cash-only nowadays, so outdated
Yes but this is Wigan. Not sure they even have mains electricity yet.
After 14 years would have thought you lot would have ‘leveled that up’ Bargie! Rather than the levelling us all down that is.
Fuck off
Shameful comment @bargepole , certainly sums up the attitude of some people from our area. Real shame and I deplore it.
Ok I don't disagree in principle but isn't it a bit hypocritical from any football fan that delights in chanting 'this town is a shit hole, I want to go home'? Isn't Bargepole just getting into the spirit of things?
Under the previous Government, one department was renamed the Department for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities (DLUHC). Not that I saw much evidence of levelling up during those 14 years.
The current Government has renamed it the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government (MHCLG), because as we've seen already, Labour are only interested in levelling down.
Bargie is on a roll this weekend!
He does have a reputation of worst gasroom poster to maintain.
(*Of those whose posts I read)
An eloquent response from one of our moderators, I don't think, and not for the first time IIRC.
Mixed feelings. On the one hand you've got a guy who has purposely picked a name based on "wouldn't touch with a bargepole", a clear wind up merchant.
But then you've got that totally overblown response to what was clearly a bit of a 70s dad sort of hackneyed gag, rather than any sort of proper discrimination.
Yeah, we should probably all try and do a bit better but can't say the odd bit of industrial language annoys me more than yawn worthy old stereotypes, wum's or faux outrage.
Nah, it's usually me telling people to fuck off, not Chris.
Fuck off @bargepole
Sometimes the most effective way is to simply not respond / block the posters you know what to expect from. Sometimes easier said than done.
Very wise. The phrase above can be quite effective too.
The relative anonymity of the Gasroom can, at times, tempt provocative statements from keyboard warriors (guilty as charged m’lord). However Bargie has the audacity/ bravery / stupidity to post his own mug shot as his avitar along with such comments. I do hope no one takes exception to his provocations personally on match day. If I chance across him I won’t be telling him to ‘Foff’, but I would suggest he stops being a ‘see you next Tuesday’ all his life.
Has anyone considered the fact that @bargepole probably sits behind his keyboard with tonge firmly in cheek.
Why would @bargepole have forceps between his cheeks?
If he’s going to give it out, I’m sure he can take it
Never. I get the impression that @bargepole doesn’t do tongue 👅 in cheek.
His comment had far more charm about it than yours.
I might have asked if @bargepole's mansion had yet upgraded their own gas lamps to electricity?
I think my Facebook/next door neighbour profile picture is still a mugshot of me about 7 years ago. Described as handsome by one of my favourite nieces. I think @bargepole was ill advised to use his mugshot but I’ve learned not to read too much into appearances.
As someone who lives in Wigan I found it distinctly lacking in charm
LOL, I did for a second wonder if you lived there such was the bizarrely over the top response!
I love the idea that Bargey's comment was in some way charming! Properly chucklesome.
About as much charm as Kemi Badenoch!!!
