Quote ="Egg Chasing"Full houses? We can't even sell 6000 season ">tickets.'" The ongoing impact of the drop in season ticket numbers will be clearer once we have a season that has certainty post pandemic. I would think that a proportion of the c.3000 people that didn't renew chose not to buy a season ticket as it was a leap of faith to buy one. We had no idea how many home games we would be able to attend or how many will be able to attend each of those (and we still can't be certain to some extent due to the latest Covid variant). I did renew mine but I wouldn't blame anyone that chose not to when they didn't know what value they would get out of the purchase. Just how many of those 3000 fans return to being regular attendees post pandemic will determine how the club is affected mid to long term.

Quote ="Grimmy"Bradford's 2001 Grand Final winning 17 included a grand total of 4 players who had come through their system, their 2003 Grand Final winning 17 had 3. I'm going back to when clubs had the ability to compete more with the NRL clubs for players, but it absolutely has been done ">before.'" He's a troll, dont take his post at face value. Apparently sintellins have never signed anyone EVER.

A month or so ago, I was looking at the "rich list" in one of the national newspapers and found that the owner of Warrington was in the 129th position. I then went well down the list and found Ian Lenagan who now only has a personal fortune of 19 million which was nowhere the amount he had at the time he bought the club from Dave Whelan.



In view of his present financial position, age and health, the question has got to be asked, Is he now trying to find new investment or even trying to sell the club like Whelan did with Latic's when finances and level of signings started to go downhill.



If Wigan is to remain as the top club on this side of the Pennines and indeed the whole game, new and more finance or even new ownership is a priority!

Quote ="sergeant pepper"Can't disagree more. I'd rather have anyone than Wire win it. If we can't win it, then I'd rather see Saints or Leeds win it. After that Hull. As much as we don't like to admit it - Saints are us and Leeds are the Yorkshire version of us i.e established clubs with a proud tradition of winning the league and producing some of the games best players. I'll happily admit my distain for GW and there's no well wishes from me. The fact someone who said "Wigan will always have a place in my heart" now wants to win the league with wire sums him up ">imo.'" You must be about 12 years old.....don’t worry, I’ll come down to your level... You didn’t hear us Wire wanting you to lose because your best player in decades was a Wire, who’s idol was Alfie Langer.

Quote ="NickyKiss"There will be a big difference throwing money around in these next couple of years to throwing it around in normal times. That will be that other clubs won’t be able to do that. Yes there is a salary cap but you can go above it with the marquee rules and not many, if any will be spending at Wires level. They would always see Wigan, Saints and Leeds as the threat. They have a Leeds side who have a way to go to be challenging for league titles, a Saints side feeling the pinch of the salary cap and who are losing three huge players for next season in Bentley, Fages and especially Coote and then us, who look in borderline crisis. We look to be losing about a third of our salary cap next season and to date seemed to have signed a championship winger and a squad filling centre, without much promise of pulling together a squad anywhere near good enough to challenge for honours. Add in the fact Powell is coming in, who I expect to go really well and it’s now or never for ">Wire.'" I agree with you Powell will make a difference to Warrington at the moment Wigan are in danger of being left behind
