I know stuff like this pees off season ticket holders but with crowds as low as they are currently the club have to be seen to be doing something. Damned if they do, damned if they don't really. I think they need to take a serious look at their marketing and pricing structure for next season if they want to get back up to anywhere near the 16k averages we were getting in 2011 and 2012.

I sympathise. I used to think, if I lived locally (which might yet happen), I'd buy a season ticket, only "to support the club". But reading the comments on here and thinking about it, I'm not so sure it's worth it.

And on prices generally, I think there's little doubt that SL rugby offers VFM compared to other sports. And it's altogether a more amenable and pleasant environment than football matches. But a better class of footy would help a lot to put bums on seats! I watch the SL Show (and I realise I'm watching highlights, but still...) and I think, when did I last see Wigan score a try like that?

Tommy L has been hired foremost as a coach.
He is down to play but I'm sure he will start coaching from pre 2017 season.
After the decades I've been watching I'll renew my season tickets.
Great sport, great club and matches are occasions I do like attending.

As for the quality of Rugby, To many disruptions due to injuries to play very fast flowing rugby.
Grinding out wins has been necessary and they have done that comendably well.
The team spirit with this squad is better then any I've seen for years if not ever from Wigan teams.

Absolutely I'll be renewing my season tickets.

Certainly no complaints about effort and desire, I agree. A bit more fluency and guile in attack would be nice, though.

This isn't a dig at wane even tho I'll admit I'm not his biggest fan, but a new coach with fresh ideas/tactics/attacking structures may just put more bums on seats

Think it's odds on , 1 if not more of those last 3 matches will be moved , no Thursday match ! Watch this space , SKY want their cake and to eat it as well , those 7 weeks fixtures should be sorted end of , but no never mind the fans.
