What are the clubs plans to ensure a greater number of academy players are developed into first team players?

Would the club look into funding every school with rugby posts and balls plus frequent visits by players during rugby training all over the Warrington area.
No better and cheaper way of nurturing those future stars early.

Could do with getting back to this level https://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/ ... ket-sales/

They were taking contactless payments in the east stand on Sunday.

Alf7, 2012 season tickets sales were bolstered off the back of 2011 where some games were all-ticket only...the rugby was superb but we flattered just a little in 2012 with Wembley bailing us...and we then spiraled and so did the season tickets to hardcore levels.

In the South they had big signs up as well, glad to see it.

Absolutely, it’s no surprise that our best season ticket wise came following our best season performance wise in 2011. Hopefully we can get to a level again not just performance wise, but entertainment wise too.

Wise words indeed

Nooooo, Sunday afternoon are old wilderspool Wire. Sunday games take up the whole day whereas Friday night leave the weekends to the family.

I used to take my family to the game on Sunday afternoon, but do not on a Friday as they are too young or have other things to do.
I also have friends who travel with work and cannot make Fridays, or are too tired after travelling long distances to be bothered to go to Thursday or Fridays.

any news from this?

My guess is Toonwire will post something, but what I can say was a large part of the meeting was taken up about Social media, our website and how to better use all of them. A lot of ideas were put forward and some may be used. Karl spoke about our previous season and finances and ofc Widdop, as I said Toonwire will probably give more feedback.

Sorry for the delay all been a busy few days:

We went and seen the new Art wall in the East stand very impressive they have plans to modernise the North but will have a different looks due to it being the most expensive seat in the house.

Looks like contactless will be everywhere in the stadium come the Leeds game.

It was broken down into parts mainly as said about the website and any ideas of how we as fans would like it to look and drive more hits to the site.

Spoke of content they are looking to add to the website and get it to look and feel modern.

Karl spoken numbers went over last season and when we all sit back we can say it was pretty good considering the change in players and coach etc. Gutted about how we played in the CC Final as they feel they really, they should have done better. GF was looked at where we just missed that final but of attacking skill that ultimately lost us the game.

Moving forward to 2019 - everyone is excited as seems like a buzz around the place with the new way super league is now run and can see the league getting stronger and we are definitely in a place to get a 3rd marquee signing.

Last season we seen a drop in around 400 seats on the avg att however the season before Smiths last we are actually 7% up on memberships which was about 7K season tickets at the current time in the season.

Also, even though we had a difficult start with the new strips issues with the hoops as i have seen on here O’Neil’s were brilliant and exchanged all strips and compensated the club for it.

Shirt sales at this time last year are about 800 ahead on the home one. What is really ahead in sales in the training range as these have flown out the door and the beauty of having O’Neil’s is that we can try new range at the drop of a hat and we only need a min order of 12.

on the performance of last year Warrington are going to post a profit which is really good to see never went into actual figures but watch this space.

Finally spoke about the Widdop signing etc and said that is next year and he is excited about 2019 however the singing proves we are heading in the right direction.

Basically, Widdops agent approached us and a few other clubs and it went down to a few things that us Wigan and Saints all matched. This part impressed me he chose Warrington as he wants to help the club win the GF as we have not won in and the other 2 had.

All in all was a decent evening

Appreciate you can't please everyone but, in my case, a 280 mile round-trip for home games is much more easily undertaken on a Sunday. No trains back after evening kick-offs on Thurs or Friday, I'm only saved because my octogenerian parents still live in Warrington so I can stay at their place. Besides, daytime rugby is much more fun.
