    I disagree with this often peddled myth about Wigan's attendances. They were in the premier league for eight seasons and always averaged between 17,000 and 21,000 at home games every season. There's no way they were often in the minority at home.

    And as a percentage of their population, they consistently got way bigger crowds than we could hope for...

    That is surprising, I didn't think they got that many.

    Interesting how there are more and more decent stadia, which are less intimidating and the fig for away wins has gone up for I think the last 7 seasons - that's top 4 leagues.  It's all very well knocking twerton/mem if u r a city fan, and I'd do the same but it's certainly worth extra points for rovers.  I got dragged up to watch cov v mk Dons the other week, 9000 in a 34k stadium, it was practically a neutral match

     

    Difficult one really, I think smaller grounds like the Dell were intimidating for away teams, in the premier, yet Wigan survived ten years in there when often their fans were in the minority.

    So Eubank Jr has a pop at Billy Joe Saunders saying he'll be fighting in leisure centres for rest of his career... two day later it's announced he's fighting himself in Lee Valley Leisure Centre :facepalm:

    How ITV are going to sell this one is beyond me 

    I think it'll depend on how they price it Tom.

    A pity he didn't fight GGG. I'm sure it would have been a better fight than Brook...

    Yeah, Ward found a way to win as he always does. Like you after the first 2 rounds I thought Kovalev was going to walk it but Ward refused to be beaten.

    There seem to be quite a lot of people claiming it was a disgrace and a home decision but it was so close I don't think anyone could complain at the scores, or if the bout had gone the other way- although I had Ward 2 ahead. Tense, exciting fight- bring on the rematch.

    Just watched it, one of thoes fights that could have gone either way, depends what you like, Kov not fearing Wards power, Ward getting into trouble early on.

    When I was at uni a load of us clubbed together for ppv fights. Since then I haven't paid for one and I don't think I would. I usually listen on the radio and watch the fight online the next day now. It's not the same but it's the principle really.

    Some of the PPV Events  have been good, I just think this and Bellew v Cleverly shouldn't be...

    The biggest disgrace of the night was the Mcdonnell decision, no way he won that one. Matchroom special judges at work again. 

    Only the Smith fight saved last night, Ortiz looked like a four fight novice, Macdonnell was very lucky to get the decision.

    As for Aj it shouldn't be a PPV event, both he and Callum Smith are 150/1 on to win, so in essence, your paying £18 for Whyte v Chizora.

    The trouble is I'm stupid enough to buy it...

    On a slightly off-topic observation, why is it that when using Chrome on my iPad, the little logo on the OTIB tab at the top of the screen is in a pale blue shade and not red?

    I think it's like when you play a Judas Priest record backwards, or something..
