Quote: Alex BP' "Over the years, our attendance figures are consistantly very good as are our season ticket sales and we have never had to embrace anything for ''survival''? In fact, they increased since the arrival of a Premiership club so your information is totally incorrect.
In general, people in Wigan do not choose between football or Rugby as they are either one sport or the other.
The ''new'' Latics supporters aren't ex-Wigan RL supporters, they are ex-Man United, Liverpool, Everton or Man City general football supporters who have now got a Premiership team or their own.
For a Premiership club, Wigan Athletics attendances are abysmal and although they might get higher gates than the Rugby, Rugby League is still the most popular sport within the town by far.'"
