I have been a st holder since the stadium wax built and at CP before that. I am not renewing , because of all the dead rubber games against clubs that are simply not good enough for the top tier. I want to attend games where I have no clue who is going to win I.e wire,Leeds ,saints etc, not the blowout games.
I will re asses in 2015, when we know what the system is and how it works, and I also think that all clubs must spend the full cap to ensure they can at very least put out a competitive team.

Well I live in Leeds and previous to that, the Caribbean - Used to go all the time before that. MAJOR apologies if my non-attendance for most of the last few seasons has dwindled.. I'm clearly not the only one and it's daft to cast aspersions on why people used to go and now don't.

ALL WIGAN SUPPORTERS MUST 1. Wigan must not win a hard fought struggle in appalling conditions, nilling the opposition and scoring 16 points, because that makes for the worst CC Final of all time. 2. Wigan must not get to the final by nilling the opposition and scoring 70 points with a display of attacking rugby because that makes for the worst CC Semi Final of all time. 3. Wigan players must not consider winning the game but devote all their efforts to entertaining neutral fans. Just like all the other teams do... 4. Wigan fans must not mention winning the CC Final, as that is arrogant. 5. Wigan fans must not mention winning the Challenge Cup 19 times, or indeed any other Trophies, as that is very arrogant indeed. 6. Wigan fans must not attend actual games. It is now compulsory to stay at home, watch on TV and moan about how low attendances at games are.:



Quote: rochdale warrior "Also re attendance look at the away fans who come, remember when North Stand used to be nearly full, Bradford, Leeds, Wire, Stains, Hull, not anymore, money is tight and at the moment it is a 3 game season, come on RFL sort it out. Get rid of Monday night Thursday night games. The league leaders should be straight to the GF, 2nd and 3rd play off for the other spot simple.'"


Do you think Friday night games as well? Away fans generally use the M62 on a Friday night and it is a nightmare at the best of time. I live and work in Preston and for me half the time after work it is a pain to finish at 530 and jump in the car for best part of a hour (rush hour traffic through Preston) then best part of another hour to get home again (traffic around the stadium after the game). That is for the home games, I know other people come much further afield and hats off to them. But also with regard to away support from other clubs as well.

I dont have a season ticket either as I can't/dont attend regularly enough to even warrant it. As through work and a young family. But also I like to move around the stadium for a different perspective of viewing.

I did have a thought other day. Why dont the RFL take charge of the season tickets. If you want to watch the regular season as a Wigan fan then the club get the money but the season ticket includes the play offs and challenge cup upto and including the quater finals. But say if your club in this instance Wigan got knocked out of the CC in the first round you can go to watch another club and same for the play offs if Wigan finished 9th you could go to watch the first couple of rounds at another club. Just a random thought I had the other day when I was bored at work!

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach. Sat 27th April 2002 St Helens 12 Wigan 21 Edinburgh - Sat 4th May 2002 Celtic 2 Rangers 3 Glasgow (Carlsberg dont do weeks, but if they did.....) //www.internationalrugbyleague.net/:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36409.jpg



Quote: Aboveusonlypie "I find it incredible that you expect your opinion to have some weight on a Wigan Warriors Forum when you "can't be 4sed" to go to watch.

How do you know the opposition is sub standard and how do you know that Wigan don't try so hard?

It doesn't look that way to me from where I'm sitting. Still I only go to watch the games.

I saw some pretty competetive games against Cas home and away, Widnes away, Wakey home and away - actually. even the HUll KR away game was enjoyable watching us set the record for points scored and if you missed the London away game then you missed the individual performance of the season from Sam, worth £20 of anyone's money I'll bet (but not yours obviously).'"



competitive games against Cas and widnes..?? have you been taking class A's? ask yourself why they were competitive games.... because we fielded kids and left our big boys sat in the stands with their trousers and club shirts on, the away games are great ie the London away game for instance is a must go as its a great social event but i knew we'd win by a big score (not competitive) im all for breeding new talent but im with ABACUS, if were purely just using these games as training excercises i think i cant be d either, having said that im glued to the score if im not there but I'm not blaze enough with my money anymore to spend £80 all in for me and the wife to go to castleford or Widnes game at the DW, il save my money for the competitive (and great social events icon_lol.gif ) games thanks


See you Saturday and enjoy the cup final people!!
