everyone files on the last day....'"


I do want us to have our own ground but I can’t disagree with what you’ve said there.

New Zealand Warriors have averaged 17k this year and next year have halved their season ticket costs to get a full house every game. I don’t know how much season tickets cost at Wigan and I can guess they’ll be fairly good value for money, but could we look at reducing the cost? I accept it’s a gamble but one that may pay off long term.

Quote: JonnyBroad "Does any one else see this as a possitive or just me?? Effectively we are 180k better off that the year before. Granted a loss is not good but a better loss than year before must be a good sign.'"


It’s going in the right direction definitely, regardless of the loss. Another loss is probably expected next year given the low crowds this season and another year with no Wembley with OT yet to be decided.

Weren't you supposed to be quids in after the trip to Aus? Or was that in the previous returns?

From what I recall even Lenegan isn't expecting mega money from the trip down under..the attendance in the double header was below what was expected and it impacted on it didn't or something along those lines, they won't have made a loss but I just cant see what they took from it, crowds down here and while of course you have to look for new money, you ignore the main source of income at your own peril.

I wonder if there is any intent from other SL to go down there? it does seem awfully quiet and I may be proven wrong think it won't happen again, an experiment, one backed by state government money from Aus,so always likely to get paid (im looking at you RFL and the promoter of the Denver test),but when their bean counters have gone through the books I wonder if they felt they got value for money?I doubt we will ever know.
