39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Great post.
I can praise Warrington for their crowds and their awesome away support but how anyone can say Wigan fans are fickle is beyond me.
Warrington need to extend the HJ so they can really go to town on marketing the big games. The Wigan game earlier in the year could have got 16k and it will be the same for the Saints game later in the season.

We need to sell out the HJ on a more consistent basis before looking to expand to be honest. Two sellouts per season isn't enough.

Sell outs will happen once we become a sucessfull team over a period of time.

And until then, we don't need to expand the stadium IMO.

Spot on.
If the team can stay at or around the level that you've been at this year then within 2-3 years you'll be selling out a lot more frequently than a couple of games a season. As much as it pains me to admit it, I've enjoyed watching Wire this year, some of the attacking play has been very easy on the eye.
If you take Bradford's crowd differences from 10 years ago to today, you can easily see Wire steadily starting to fill the ground to the point where talk of expansion is a viable option.

| Quote: Paul2812 "I reckon Leeds or Hull could if they discounted the tickets against Quins as much as you did for their home ties against them. Although your marketing is good you aren't the club who wins the best community based club each year. I forget which club wins that award. Reducing prices to put bums on seats is hardly straight out of Saachi & Saachi's main think-tank is it ?
However, I do love sticking it up the noses of Wendyball fans when they go on about the Latics and their Premiership status. I may be off the mark but I reckon the Pies get a bigger home attendance than their land lords which reflects well, not just on Wigan RL, but on the sport of Rugby League.'"
I agree with your second comment re sticking it up the Latics, but you've missed the point with your first comment. Wigan would normally get 12-14,000 for a Quins match. If they sell 5,000 tickets at £10 each to two large companies who then give those tickets to their employees, then everyone gains. Wigan get £50,000 extra that they wouldn't normally get for a Quins game and will probably gain a few new fans.

I may be off the mark but I reckon you're wrong about that.
