Maybe some of the ones who don't go, answered the question?

I could ve directed that at you......... So you want the club to ask fans who DON`T GO to games which would be their preferred day, thus assuming that if this body of people were given a positive reply from the club they would turn up in their hordes.
You also want to ignore the fans who have stayed loyal deeming their opinions not worthy.
Beggars belief.....

Be very interesting to know Wigans average attendance for those rare games played on a Sunday in recent years, you will be surprised and Id argue Wigans crowd would grow again if they played 3pm Sunday afternoons but Sky TV has stopped this.

I repeat "Are you for real?" I don't say ignore the fans that do go, and ask the ones that don't go. I am just saying it was pointless doing the which day thing for fans that go regular - it doesn't get extra fans going. I know you missed out on your quote what I typed but that is what I was aiming for and a bold and positive move by the club to try something different. Instead its just staying the same.

| Everyone will have a personal preferance and I suppose it would have been great in a ideal world to trial some kick off times over the next few seasons to gauge if Sundays are losing or gaining support (Sat 6.30pm being my preferred as its more family friendly in summer ).
I suppose the thing with 3PM Sunday kick off is the club know exactly what its going to get.

Well i'm with you on this one.
At the time of the survey I said that we should be asking those that don't go if they would attend if we played on a different day - those that already go will usually go whichever day we play (it may not suit everyone but Sunday also may not suit some).
And, if I remember correctly, the majority commenting on the subject on here preferred a Saturday evening KO so where does this come fromThe amount of feedback we have received on this has been nothing short of phenomenal. The general consensus is that we stick with the Sunday afternoons.[/i

I do apologise Lord Sugar ... just let the club know your intentions for improving our current crowds. I`m fairly sure the club will be impressed with your thoughts...

| It does,nt matter what day / time the team plays if the club are,nt successful
on the field and play attractive RL the club will struggle to get people to pay out
£16 / 14 to watch im talking about getting the stayaways back and bringing in new speccies
Last season was ok but the team played boring slow RL for a great part of the season
when it mattered most , bring in a couple of exciting players with pace for next season
at least it would get people talking its no use expecting people to dish out hard earned dosh
to watch donkeys when for the same money give or talk a quid they can go to several sl clubs within a 10 mile radius of Leigh and watch racehorses
It was sad last season watching average teams like Dewsbury ect ect come to Leigh and blow us away with pace...............

Like has been said you I and Leighleigh would prefer Saturday evenings but the club has to be practical and if playing Sunday afternoon means selling more season tickets than relying on people turning up on a particular day I think the club is right on this one.
DetroitSoul also makes an extremely valid point when people who have stopped going for whatever reason hear that Dewsbury have thrashed us at home or Gateshead or Batley they are not likely to come back are they franchising or not !

Not a chance I'm afraid Ste, Wigan did a survey about the matchdays and Friday was by far and away the overall preference. Coin it in from corporate as well which simply doesn't happen for a Sunday game.

| Good news for me with the Sunday 3pm, and I'll be getting a season ticket for the first time since we used to get a free McDonalds on the way home from Hilton Park with the ticket! Probably wont be able to make all the games with my work schedule but if the club is making an effort, suppose we all can too!

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
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!:9005.jpg |

Thing is Matt , Leigh dont quite have the same ' pull ' for corporate that the SL clubs do , it is less important to us

| how do you ask the "fans" that dont go?
IMHO the ONLY thing that will bring more people in is success, you have your "hard core" fans that turn up now then you have your floaters who will only turn up to watch a winning side.
You can give all the freebies in the world but people won't turn up if your side isnt successful.
