I think if people can see some of the youngsters being given plenty of 1st team action, like Ainscough, Mossop, Tomkins our crowds would get better even we lose a few. Fans want to see these players get regular 1st team action, not just for a few minutes here and there, but for full games to get the experience they need.
Give the fans what they want and they will go to games

I still have a season ticket though and will make away games when I can.

The problem we have this year compared to 2006 with the support we get is that in 2006 we could of gone down so everyone got behind the team and it was great especially games like Leeds away. This year we could be bottom all season and anyone who doesnt have a season ticket would stop going as it doesnt matter.


Dont be daft , no relegation will not affect attendances , Richard said so :wink: :lol:

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Whatever.

The Super League would never have allowed Wigan to be sent down. Simple economics dictated that.

Has anyone on here decided to pick and choose games now? Or even stopped going at all


I pay on the day these days, but I'd still attend matches no matter what. I love rugby, and I love matchdays as a social experience just as much as I love to see the games, so it's not putting me off going.

I can imagine how it would put some off, though.

[quote="Meyt N Prater Pie"]

The club never announced the final amount of season ticket sales which tells me it was less than last season.


Seems to be a trend across all clubs to keep the total season tickets sales secret. - Which just confirms sales are down everywhere.

They will bring more than usual with it being on a Saturday night. 16,000 is easily achievable if we win next week.
