Correct

The current Economic/Political situation won't be helping but the pure Fact of the issue is People only have so much Disposable income.
How they choose to use that is entirely up to each individual.
The other poster is saying it's £704 in the South stand - I would dispute that
Even if we count the 16yr old as a Student (Not sure what age the price goes up to a student?) I know my 20yr olds is £155 in the East & my 16yr old gets his at £35
Mine was 235 for renewal (That's around £16.50 per game for me & £30 per game for 3 of us) and I'm sure South will be cheaper

2 x Adults at say £215 each - 430
Student (May even be cheaper if still at school) - £130
2 x kids (Assuming over 8 as under 8 is free and that would be even cheaper) - 35x2 = £70

I reckon you could get a Family of 5 in this scenario for around £630
That's £45 per game

As you say Affordability & Peoples circumstances are one thing - Value for Money is another

And Wigan's Seasons Tickets IMO are fantastic Value for money and on a par if not a lot cheaper than other clubs.

Wigan have upped the Season ticket for free range to 8
They've introduced cheaper pricing structures for Students & U16's over the last couple of years to bring their process more in line with the discounts that the South Stand people were getting (My Lads Student ticket is cheaper now that 3 years ago AND my 16yr old is now paying £35 like the East instead of the 110 plus in the East it used to be).

Whilst welcoming the above I do ask the question how charging me & Thousands others Less will help improve the clubs finances.
I also wonder how much of an impact upping the free age to 8 etc. will have.

I wonder if this is Leneghans attempt to get the numbers in along with the Big signings and he's prepared to take a hit in the short term to try and encourage more Fans/attendees for the future?

What I do know is that complaining about ticket prices and asking for them to be reduced even further won't help the financial situation were complaining about.

Said it before & will say it again - Wigan and it's fans will get what it deserves - If "WE" don't back it better then there will be knock on effects & consequences to us being able to be at the forefront of the Game

Id suggest Wigan still had a large core of interested fans at that point. You only need to look at this message board, its not even close to how it was in the early 00's. The game as a whole is on the decline. Its stale, sometimes boring, too sterile and nothing out of the ordinary happens with each game being similar to the last and players that are robotic with little variation doing the same things over and over again until the opposition tires or cracks. When was the last time you saw a Wigan team put on a new move that had obviously been practiced and perfected in training?

People wont pay to bored.

Stop watching then and stop posting on this forum. RL and Wigan doesn’t and will not miss you.

You're rather hostile dont you think? Im giving a reason why people dont want to spend money on going to games and all i get is a hostile reply. No wonder people dont go with bigots like you in the crowd. Id hate to be sat next to somebody that cant engage in a dialogue without throwing their toys out of the pram.

I wish you'd give it a rest. You've been ridiculously negative recently, and all because of a couple of bad results.

Seriously, you should have been with me watching us get relegated at the end of the 1970s after being raised on Eric Ashton and Billy Boston.

Instead of everything being doom, gloom and disaster, it could just as easily be argued that the current Wigan team has simply come to the end of its natural life. Half the pack are physically and mentally worn out, and the other half are still only kids. We also have a halfback, who, despite his agent's ability to negotiate astonishingly generous deals for him, has repeatedly been unable to unleash a pretty decent three-quarter line. Many fans recognise this, and many think that, under Lam we've been punching above our weight these last few months. By the same token, almost no one thought we could win the Grand Final, or even that getting there would be a good idea.

As for the game dying on its backside, well ... I refer you again to the late 1970s, when the average British club played to average attendances of 3/4,000.

I'm not saying everything's okay. We need to get a lot more money into the game (and as Nigel Wood's pockets are no longer part of the equation, maybe we can). But you've got to stop spreading this abject defeatism and OTT negativity on every thread. It really does make you sound like a fifth columnist.

All you do is post negative stuff; we shouldn’t have played the WCC, Lam is a crap coach, our forwards are all crap and need to be coached by Kelvin Skerrett, rugby league is boring and you don’t like it anymore. Yet you post on here every day. You sound like the kind of spectator that sits there shouting abuse at our own players the whole game. If you ever turned up that is.

Remember when you posted this after the CC Final? 12.4404296875:5
