GARY Megson hopes lessons were learned both on and off the pitch during last Wednesday’s defeat at the Britannia Stadium.

While the manager is calling for immediate improvement from his Wanderers squad, who lost with a whimper in the Potteries seven days ago, he has also challenged his own club’s followers to take a leaf out of their Stoke counterparts’ book.

The daunting atmosphere at the Britannia Stadium has been a feature of the newly promoted club’s season, and one that Megson would love to see recreated in the final stretch of the current campaign at the Reebok.

“There are five home games before the end of the season and we need the fans involved,” he said.

“We need to create the atmosphere we know we can at the Reebok to try and get the sort of advantages that Stoke’s fans got them. The Britannia Stadium is an intimidating place for anyone to go and we have got to try and create that at our place.”

Wanderers are looking to boost Saturday’s gate by selling tickets for just £10 for Saturday’s game against Fulham.

The first-ever Ladies’ Day will help raise funds for Look Good… Feel Better – a cancer charity that helps women manage the visible side-affects of cancer treatments.

Special events and discounts will be available on the day, and Megson hopes the club’s efforts will result in a feelgood factor on the terraces.

“We’re trying hard to get people in,” he said. “We hope it creates the same sort of atmosphere we got against Atletico Madrid. There were a lot of kids in that night and it was fantastic – we need to try and get that again.”
