Quote: Jukesays "So if they sold 5k last year and 6k this year that's success? Edit - I'm making those numbers up, I;ve no idea what they were or what they are?
And your portraying wigans effort has not successful despite not having any info on Wigans sales? When we could ne on track to equal or better 2022?
Also you say, very little promotion, is that a fact?
I've been bombarded with videos, emails, Facebook stuff etc (don't do twitter but our WhatsApp group have sent loads of stuff in linked to stuff wigan have released on there).
You tried to portray Wigans prices as being High/the worst in a negative light originally. Yet a little digging and you find that Wigans prolong very favourably stands up to other clubs in equivalent areas and in a lot we are considerably better.
Our attendances went up in 2022, not considerably but up, and in the face of a cost of living crisis that was very good.
Hulls ST''s may be going well, but let's see what their average attendances are moving forward. I think there's a "Feel good" facto at Hull in the build up to this season, but to be honest they're coming from a relatively low Bar.
Either way, if our attendances stand up well against last year I'll be happy given the circumstances
And strangely enough, and linking into posts made on the future ofnthe game on the rumours thread, I hope every clubs attendances do well.'"
Hull have sold around 7,500 and that is absolutely a success if its up on previous years. Ian Lenagan in a video uploaded today has stated we are actually around 10% up which is good (though it surprises me that the club don't make this more public to gain some traction). However, the numbers don't change my view that the club could improve in the areas discussed.
Your problem is you haven't understood the purpose of the thread. You confuse critique with criticism and haven't shown any creative thinking on the issue of how things could be better. The point was never to criticise or put the club down, more to critically consider different and additional approaches to maximise potential. Others have suggested potential strategies/areas for improvement - you have just focused on your base camp stance that all is perfect and anyone who suggests otherwise are automatically wrong. I can guarantee you the club are not thinking that way. In any business, no matter how well or badly things are going you should always be looking for areas to improve.
