Post subject:  Wigan RL Fans in the Midlands
I was just wondering how many Wigan fans on here or fans in general are based in the Midlands?

Reason I ask is for my Sports Managment degree. At the moment it is just an idea, however out of these fans that are based in the Midlands, how many would be interested a regular coach taking fans to home and away games?

As I say currently it is just an idea, but has anyone got any ideas of how I could take this idea further? I realise fans in the Midlands maybe limited and fans will be happy to make their own way to games but it could lead to a Wigan Supporters Club in the Midlands.

Could I liaise with Wigan themselves or look at contacting RL clubs in Midlands in creating a big fan base. All in all I'd just like to make people more aware of Wigan RL in the Midlands and in turn creating a larger fan base.

I do realise I'm rambling on a bit, got a load of ideas running rounfd my head :lol:

Any ideas?

Theres a few lurking on here, might be better to ask in the season when the board is more busy though

Good luck with your quest

Shrewsbury here, and would be interested, but given the size of the Midlands, perhaps not that easy for those of us on the edges to get to pick up points etc...Anything that's cheaper than the train and let's me have a beer is a bonus with me!

Ask the club mate. You could ask Simon Collinson to put a piece in the match programme about getting a Midlands Supporters Club off the ground. Good luck with it.

Coventry as you know!
I would be well up for it even if it is just a minibus or even car sharing and spreading the petrol money.

Yep great idea. Remember RFLANS is only a minute % of total wigan fans, a note in the programme could being in a few more from that area.

Top idea. I bet there is at least 20 people who go to games in the midlands, a coach would be awesome. Maybe even just a small supporters group so we can meet up and watch games on sky!
