| It's always an interesting debate - if the home game is on TV does that mean fans won't go?
Personally, and going right back to my earliest games, if a home game was on TV that was never a reason not to attend. I'm not sure why, but for me at least the question simply didn't arise. You went to cheer the team on, delight in the atmosphere and now that we have Friday night fixtures, enjoy a few beers as well.
I appreciate that it's more expensive these days and that maybe a different generation of supporters would simply rather watch in the pub. But it's not like it's a new thing either. Back when Wigan ruled the roost, season after season passed when we seemed to be on telly all the time. If you're going to buy a season ticket at the beginning of the year you must surely be aware that a good proportion of Wigan's matches are are likely to be on television?

You won't be doing that this season unless you record it. It appears that Sky are no longer repeating whole matches, just 15 min highlights and Boots and All appears to have gone from the schedule as well to be replaced by highlights of Burnley vs Accrington Stanley from 1936 or some other ancient football match no one can be d about.

No, as far as Sky is concerned football started in 1992 and Rugby League started in 1996!!!

| I was deciding between SKY and Premier Sports, but after seeing the reduced coverage I am going for the NRL option and its half the price with more NRL shows added the M Johns and P Sterling shows added to the Footy Show
I will make do with my season ticket and get other SL on the radio and BBC highlights

| We can 't see the screen from our seats so it just adds an annoying delay to the game.

| With the 4 game Flexi ticket Wigan have and with what is on Sky you could see 11 home games for prices between £15 to £83 (depending on age, stand and concessions).
I am not entirely sure that is the idea behind it!
