How many wigan fans at west ham

Young Select Group Referee Chris Kavanagh was the man charged with making the key calls on Saturday afternoon, in what was a gutsy encounter, a hard game to Referee if there ever was one. With the Hammers down to ten men, prolific forward Grigg looked to get in behind by flicked the ball over the head of former Tic Reece Burke, it instead struck his arm.

Grigg stepped up and dispatched the penalty with ease down the middle despite protests for the visiting players to the Officials, ultimately proving the final goal of the encounter. Supporters, Pundits, ex-players and much of the Footballing World were quick to condemn the actions of DR Congo International winger Arthur Masuaku after he was shown the first red card of his career in the 49th minute in Wigan.

Pausing and staring for a second, clearly disgruntled by the fashion in which Powell had acted, Masuaku spat at his opponent, prompting a furious reaction from the players in blue and white.

The paceman contested the decision, eventually leaving the field with little reaction from the Technical Area, his Manager Moyes later stating his fury at the player and that he will be dealt with accordingly.

The club was allocated the maximum 4, tickets available for the big DW Stadium encounter, with echoes of the memorable trip to Wigan on 28 April still lingering in the minds of many supporters. On that day, the club also offered free coach travel and was rewarded with a victory that played a major part in the club's 'Great Escape' with seven wins from the last nine games. The deadline for fans wanting to travel on the free coaches will be 5pm on Thursday 12 May, although any match tickets left unsold at that point will still be available.
