Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves FORZA WIRE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46584.jpg



Personally I think too much gets made of leaving early. I often leave games a few minutes early for whatever reason and couldn't care less what some uberfan thinks of me.

People are perfectly entitled to leave whenever they like and it's nobody's business but theirs.

I'd like to see more of it in the workplace, no docking of wages, just Directors hanging out of windows shouting "We can see you, we can see you ..."

A lot of people were leaving with a lot more than ten mins left. Sort of makes the whole leaving to avoid the queue thing redundant. IT got to the point where it would be more efficient to stay and hope for a pie comeback.

My friend who was supposed to be giving me a lift text me when there was about 15 mins left saying he was leaving. He didn't manage to get out for 5-10 mins cause the queues for the exit were so long.

Difficult to judge accurately, obviously. But if you go purely off numbers, then the following is a guide, we are second to Leeds:
www.slstats.org/ViewRound/Year_2 ... /Away.html

Only a guide, as I say. For one thing, that isn't actually a measure of just away fans it's home fans too which can vary for lots of reasons other than just who is playing, but still.

i got that drunk last year against Saints that i left the game early thinking it was over. I then argued with a taxi driver taking me home because i could not understand how the game was on the radio while i was in his cab when i had been sure i had heard the hooter and left the ground. Does that make me less loyal or too ancient to be drinking 6 hours before a match kicks off?

Challenge Cup winners 2009 2010 2012 2019 League Leaders 2011 2016:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10289.png



Warrington the best away following? Sure we might take good away followings now we are good, like Bradford did during the Elliott and Noble days. It's not too long ago that you would go to Knowsley Road and find about 100 Wire fans. I guess the rest of the loyal supporters got put off by the distance.

As for being loyal, Wigan's average gate last year when they were champions, was 15181. Their average gate in 2006 when they were in a relegation fight was 14458. Thats a 5% increase on gates from being champions over being in a relegation fight.
Compare this to us, when we were in a relegation fight in 2002 we averaged 6189. Last year when we were back to back Challenge Cup winners was 10738. That's a 73.5% increase for us. Now I know that is not a like for like comparison as ours is over a longer time period and we moved to a new stadium, and I would rather have the big growth figure than the small one. But that 5% for Wigan says two things:
1. The fans who are watching them now, are basically the same ones who were watching them at the bottom of the league under Millward
2. There mustn't be much growth potential in Wigan if they can't get more than 15000 now. To put it in context, during their glory days in the late 80s and early 90s they averaged 14000-14500. So I think with Wigan you have the same set of supporters who watch them however they are doing, they don't seem able to attract newcomers from outside. We have obviously got more of a bandwagon effect.
