Wigan ticket: what does 'unreserved seating' mean?

I have never been to Wigan before.  I keep my visits 'oop North' to the bare minimum in case I get bitten by a rabid ferret or clog what remains of my arteries with their cholesterol-fest gourmet cuisine.  My ticket says 'unreserved seating'.  Does this mean the away fans can sit anywhere in the North stand?

It means sit anywhere you like out of the 5000 they give us behind the goal.

It's old school the early bird gets to pick the best seats

That is what I surmised but there's also what appears to be a seat number (U 80) on the ticket.
Only 5000?

Might that be Unreserved no80, as in we've only sold 80 tickets!  :49:

When I went to Wigan a couple of seadon ago there were so few of us you could sit anywhere. I still managed to get the pitch invader hide behind my seat and had stewards swarming all around me though

Not a naked one I hope!
Watching the ups and downs since 1958, wouldn't have it any other way, what a roller coaster of a club.

U80 is your age bracket.  :022:

Was that the one where AJ scored the equalizer late on?

I reckon we'll take a lot more than 80 up there this weekend.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The opening sentence of this thread makes you sound a tit, and not a good kind.

I take it you mean the second sentence since the first is merely a statement of fact.  Or are you as grammatically challenged (and humourless) as you appear to be?

I must have misjudged this as it didn't seem like any humour I've ever come across. Bit weird and an attempt at insulting Northerners, nevertheless I'll put your lack of worldly experience down to your inability to put down the blow up girlfriend, close the laptop and leave the house .

Don't clutch at straws by pointing out an issue with which sentence I referred, you sound a tit, again.

I'm no moderator, but this is all so unnecessary. What I would say is, on my recent trip to Rotherham, I had great banter with the locals and was made to feel really welcome. And what pleased me above all else, was that the away end had a sizeable minority of Fulham fans with broad Yorkshire accents, a couple from the North East, someone from Manchester etc. I just find it great that people living miles from London support OUR Club despite it being so far away. Presumably, this is passed on from their parents, or from a one-off visit to Craven Cottage, or from seeing us on TV. Whatever the reason, they are all very welcome on a cold Tuesday night in Rotherham! (or a Saturday in Wigan).
English by birth, Fulham by the grace of God.

I like Wigan, the pubs are friendly you don't get ripped off price wise. For a small town who have a top Rugby League club and for many years a prem football team they should be admired, especially with the big Manchester Clubs up the road.

Love going up North , people generally sound and at least you can still find a decent boozer not like the ponced up gastro bollox we have down here.
Wigan is a great away day.

The boozer underneath the ground for away fans is great.
