More variable costs. e.g. More staff required on game day for 20k fans, 10k more tickets need to be printed, more area to clean up afterwards etc
But some of that would be offset by increased food/drink sales, merchandise etc like you said. Whether that is enough and works out better for the club is probably only something they can calculate.

| Quote Aboveusonlypie="Aboveusonlypie"Good for you. Of course people will differ with their opinions. That's fine. When it gets personal as it sometimes does on here I tend to support the player or coach as they are only human and abuse is hurtful. You may disagree. That's fine too. I fail to see why my support of the players and coach seems to annoy so many.'"
So why respond to my post the way you did? It didn't mention anyone and I was attempting to engage with you in the conversation. Instead you chose to ignore everything (no answer perhaps?  ) I said and made the personal remarks.

We don't make any money from food and drinks sales, it goes to the stadium.

My idea of a fan is to support your team through thick and thin. Obviously you disagree, that's fine.
I tend not to resort to name calling in my posts though. It lacks class mate.'"
The only reason i responded to your post was that you were Name Calling other fans, not me..
Name calling fans that have spent a fortune on Wigan RL buying tickets, shirts ..etc
You only returned after we won the GF
I bet if we didn't we wouldn't ave seen ya till next year.
Are you Jeremy Cowardbin

| I think the obsession, at all clubs, with asking fans to buy tickets in advance does put some off. Why not reserve some space for those who want to pay cash at the turnstyles - easy enough in stands where there are no allocated seats.

| The only way to increase attendances is to cut out the boring games. The talent on show is still only in the. Top 4 teams

Hello Monkey man..
Sorry to miss you out but i can't see your posts directly attacking posters that didn't support Waney.
I saw many posts over the season by you stating you were a happy clapper and their ain't nowt wrong with that lad.
Supporting the club no matter what is all good, but it doesn't force change.
After the Widnes disgrace the team turned into an unstoppable force.
How did that happen.
Champions with a great looking squad for next year...lordy if we play like the last 6 weeks we'll do a clean sweep.
SW has proved he can do it..please ..please hope he sticks to what he did over the last 6 weeks.
Give him a 5 year deal.

Wigan Peer is right. I got sick of the anti Wane brigade. I thought after the GF there might have been some humility on here recognising that they were wrong about him. No such luck.

Engaging you in conversation has proved pointless over the years. I remember your entrenched views on promotion and relegation. You can always be relied upon to hold a negative view of whatever the club do. Of course the season wasn't full of flowing rugby. We all know that. If you don't accept that an injury crisis is the reason then there is nothing to agree on. I happen to accept the views of the chairman and coach. You don't. Surprise surprise.
You have consistently led an anti Wane stance on here. It's getting like the Monty Python "What have the Romans ever done for us?" sketch at times.
What has Wane ever done for Wigan?
Let me see....
