Ah, Wigan. A 9-1 loss to Tottenham and the embarrassed players have offered to refund the ticket price for any of the club’s fans who attended their side’s 9-1 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham at White Hart Lane on the weekend.
9-1! That’s a walloping in anyone’s language.
The obvious question then is, what other shellackings would Roarers wish they could have been offered a refund for, after the event?
Off the top of my head, I can suggest the Port Power fans who had to endure their 2007 Grand Final debacle against Geelong (The Cats defeated Port 163 to 44 – a 119-point margin).
Or the Melbourne Storm faithful who may have travelled north to have to sit through a 40-0 drubbing at the hands of Manly in the 2008 NRL Grand Final.
Then there’s Adelaide United fans who had to time their exit from Docklands as their side were flogged 6-0 in the second A-League Grand Final.
Those are pretty obvious candidates for sporting refunds. Completely one-sided Grand Finals. However, scratching deeper, there are also regular season home and away games and less obvious examples.
On what other occasions should a refund have been paid out?
