I didn't say I couldn't go, I just said I can't be 4rsed..... despite the wealth of talent we have at Wigan, both at senior and under 19s level, because the wealth of talent isn't reciprocated throughout superleague, most of the games are about as exciting as cramp, as somebody put it earlier I'm not buying a season ticket to watch substandard opposition and our team not trying so hard. And when you haven't got a season ticket you kind of get out of the habit and then you suddenly realise there's more to life.

Oh god he's going to dissect your message....

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.

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!

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 ) games thanks


See you Saturday and enjoy the cup final people!!
