| I'm tempted to berate people for not turning up to support their team, but I can't. There are lots of reasons why individuals don't, and in most cases it would be none of my business.
But I do wonder how, at Wigan, winning silverware doesn't necessarily mean that more people will pile onto the terraces. No one could have known that 2019 was going to be such an onfield damp squib. We started the season as champions after a storming finish to last season, with massive World Club Challenge looming, and yet ... we also started with crowds down.
If that's not a worry, it should be, as it may lead our owners to wonder why they bother.
Does it happen to other clubs, or is it just a Wigan thing?
I'd love to understand the psychology of this.

Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"
I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

Not as daft as it first seems.
I understand Matty Peet is returning to Wigan as AL assistant with an emphasis on defensive responsibility.

Sorry you are right Bigred. Collinson left in Sept 17 and MacLeod left last year.
It's McLoughlin who now heads up marketing together with his previous role.
Macleod has gone to Warrington RL.

I agree. Momentum went with it.
