I Stopped my season ticket after the 2011 season because of 3 main reasons
1 I was unhappy with the signings
2 It was becoming more expensive
3 They kept changing k.o. times and moving games to different days because of WAFC

I agree the Thursday night games is the biggest issue the club faces. It's an awful night for the fan that attends games but it's actually a very good night (for me anyway) to watch a game when Wigan aren't playing. Due to that reason I doubt it'll change anytime soon.

As good as this season has been, the crowds haven't been anything to shout about for anybody.

What I don't like about the tv system is that all clubs get the same t.v money. IMO there should be a "basic" amount that all clubs get and then a top up for the clubs that appear on t.v. At least that way they would be financially compensated for the the loss of spectators (particularly the Thursday games) due to t.v. coverage.
Wasn't that how it was done during the "Grandstand" days on the BBC?

All clubs should have a minimum number of Thursday games.

Minimum? Let me think about that....

Won't be getting one personally, as I work Fridays & Saturdays and rely on Public Transport, don't get back into Stoke until 7pm, so zero chance of making it to Wigan!

Juniors are still excellent value at £30 , plus the benefits.

First time in 19yrs I won't be renewing. I'm going to pick and choose my games, I know all the diehards will lambast my decision however I need to get my point across to the club and this IMO is the only way.

Does anyone know whether they've changed the car park numbers? Only 1 & 4 appear to be bookable. What I thought of as 3 behind the east stand can't be bought for next year. Or at least not yet. A call to the ticket office required methinks.

I bought mine for the Car Park behind the East Stand 3? with my season ticket last year and that was in November.

Fair enough Rogues. I was told to return after the deadline and didn't check earlier but they wouldn't let me have a pass for car park 3 when I renewed.

me too, hence this bear of little brain's confusion.

I can't see why there is an above inflation increase or in fact any increase at all.

Wage inflation in SL is ZERO and has been for years because of the salary cap.

In fact with the Sky deal all the SL clubs wages for the first team squad are paid out of the TV money so clubs are better off than they used to be to the tune of at least £600K a season.

There is no way that is being gobbled up by the marquee player.

OK the back room staff may be due a pay rise but of what magnitude!

There is another issue that will probably put people off as well now the fixtures are out. There are no home games after 13th May until 8th July. Nearly two months and most of the regular season home games are biased towards the start of the season.

It's not brilliant for the team's prospects either given our away record this season. Even with a decent away record that would be asking for trouble.

For us that means a season ticket for my son is not viable any more. He is at Uni and so won't be back until after May 13th as it is his final year.

I doubt it's as black and white as that. How do you know our stadium rent hasn't increased? Look at all the ongoing off-field activities we fund, Central Park, London trip, upkeep of Orrell....etc!
