The unprecedented step have been taken by the FA to open up a zone at Wembley for this weekendas FA Cup semi-final between Wigan Athletic and Millwall after Wigan were not able to promote their ticket portion for the match. Both clubs were allocated 31,000 tickets. Wigan Athletic however have at least 10,000 tickets remaining from their allocation, so The FA has decided to provide no more than 6,000 tickets from Wiganas section and to open up the region to natural supporters. Wigan posseses an typical home attendance at the DW Stadium of 18,000, which also takes into account the away service. The clubas inability to sell its full allocation of 31,000 tickets is probably due to a few unique reasons: 1) The clubas fanbase isnat that big, 2) the north-west of England is normally an even more depressed economic section of the nation, and 3) many Wigan supporters could be keeping up their money hoping that the Latics can play in the FA Cup final against Manchester City or Chelsea. Wigan against Millwall will soon be televised are now living in the Usa this Saturday at 12:15pm ET on FOX Soccer Plus andAFOX Soccer 2Go.
