I don't think he had time to attempt to jump over him to be honest. If he was intending to stick his boot in there (whether going for the ball or not) then it's reckless rather than accidental and should be at least a sin bin, more likely a red given the severity.


Had Marshall been a one foot high wall he’d have jumped over him.

Tough to put a figure on it but looking at Leeds and Wires crowds recently, I’d say they have been around 2,000 down on what they would’ve expected on the same nights and against the same teams back in 2019. We were about 5,000 down against Wakey by comparison, so a difference of around 3,000. Those 3,000 aren’t going to turn up to watch a team that has averaged 10 points a game over the last 9 fixtures. It’s turgid rugby and just offers no entertainment value whatsoever. I go because I’m a saddo and will support the club come what may but I fully understand people who would say there’s no incentive to go. It isn’t enjoyable watching the team, in fact at times you go away in a worse mood than the one you turned up in. The none die hards go to be entertained, to sit there and have some wow moments during the game and to walk away with a spring in their step. Watching us struggle to string 3 passes together, getting totally dominated in the middle of the field and pinch one or two try’s at best a game isn’t going to get those people in the ground. It certainly won’t be changing this season so we’ll have to grin and bear it. It’ll be the Saints crowd that will be a real eye opener. I doubt it’ll break 10,000-11,000 unless Saints bring 4,000 or 5,000 with them.



You only have to look at the atmospheres created by supporters at Emerald Headingly, Totally Wicked and Helliwell Jones Stadiums compared to that at the DW Stadium.

Like being in a morgue, until the team get well in front!

Our problem is that the DW Stadium is too big in capacity because of Whelan and the Council having the ridiculous idea that the Latics would draw in bigger crowds for every game and Wigan would become a bigger football town like Blackburn, Blackpool, Bolton, Burnley, Preston etc.
