Quote: Ruddy Duck "Appalling for a club like Wigan, but what else can you expect when many supporters see a squad which is not up to the standard they expect to see at the club and continual rule changes which in many ways has made the game have less variety in play, especially the dropping of scrums which is part and parcel of Rugby.
And the getting rid of the clubs traditional badge and non cherry and white shirts has not helped the situation in the eye of many supporters!'"
Pretty sure all of that has very little to do with the low crowd - Covid is no doubt the main reason. High case rates, lack of confidence, changed habits and an ageing fan base. Those who declined season tickets this year due to the uncertainty likely won't buy match tickets.
IF the country has a better grip on Covid in the off season we will have to hope that many will be willing to come back. My guess is we'll end up with something like 25-30% less than our usual average.
