Watching the game back last night and I thought the same thing. He looks as sick as a dog watching them make their way down

Double Winners Launch 2014 Memberships


Double winners Wigan Warriors are set to launch their much-anticipated Seasonal Membership packages for the 2014 Super League campaign on Tuesday (15th Oct), with a range of brand new initiatives to provide greater value than ever before.

Fans will receive up to 5 games free compared to match by match ticket purchases while the Club have also extended the renewal deadline by a month until December 2nd to give fans more time to secure their seat.

Following in-depth research with fans via surveys and focus groups the packages feature several new improvements for 2014, which includes a restructuring of some of the pricing areas within the stadium.

A brand new dedicated Family Stand will take over the South Stand at the DW Stadium. It will offer a full family experience including flexible unreserved seating, baby changing facilities, face painting, children's entertainment, Max's Tuck Shop and much more, and will provide parents with the assurance that they will be sat next to like-minded families in a safe and friendly environment.

Elsewhere the Club will also look to recreate the famous terrace atmosphere from yesteryear in ‘The Pop'. The area located in blocks ES9 and ES10 of the East Stand will be named after the Popular Side at the Clubs former Central Park home and is the place to congregate for those fans wanting to generating atmosphere on matchdays. To ensure vocal fans aren't financially disadvantaged by moving to the East Stand, the concession and adult prices will now be the same in The Pop as the South Stand.

Junior Warriors can again get unbeatable value with memberships for all home Super League games starting from only £26 in the South Stand. As well as having their seat secured for all league games at the DW Stadium, juniors will also receive free 'ground entry' to all away league games too.

The Club also realise that fans above the junior age category are entering an expensive world yet won't necessary be earning a full adult wage, so to help the Club have extended the Young Adult membership to cover fans aged 16 to 21. These fans will now be eligible for concessionary prices in all home areas when purchasing a seasonal membership.

To help ensure that all fans get full value from their membership and aren't disadvantaged by home fixture changes, the Warriors will again be offering the Ticket Exchange Scheme as well as a new feature, ‘Sky Swap'. This scheme helps members if they miss a home league fixture after June because it is switched from is originally timeslot for Sky TV coverage. In this eventuality the member will receive a percentage discount on their membership for the following year.

Members will, as always, receive the best seats and benefits with the Club which includes discount on a 2014 replica shirt, free entry to the South Stand Supporters Lounge on home matchdays and priority on away, cup and final tickets - a benefit that came in very useful during the Double winning season!

In addition to the extended renewal deadline Wigan fans will also be able to take advantage of the popular direct debit payment scheme allowing them to spread the cost of a Seasonal Membership over 4 manageable instalments. They can even get cashback on the price of their membership by referring new members via the Referrals Scheme.

Renewal prices start at just £206 for adults and £130 for concessions with great savings for familieshttps://www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id

What's the odds between Fev and London? If anything Fev will bring more fans and have just as much chance of beating us

Goodbye south stand, hello east stand. Annoyed that the south has been changed, hopefully the east will be just as good, see how these 'singing sections' go

bad decision by the club this, I've been a south stand season ticket holder for 13yrs and now being told if I want to be part of the atmosphere then I need to move.....i'm not happy

Not really, surely the point is that this will create a better atmosphere all round almost anywhere any one sits South or East (think atmosphere in the west is pushing it a bit !)

Something needs to be done and I think this is a great idea.

You won't be paying any more. The view if anything, is better for ES9 & ES10. What's the problem?

Will u16's ST's cost more in the East then the South?

The reason I ask is we take my two nephews along with us and our party is made up of 4 or 5 adults. Ideally I'd like to move us all to the East.

The problem for me is i prefer to watch from behind the sticks.

I think a few wires are getting crossed somewhere, I think it's a good move but people seem to be making out that (not just on here but on a facebook group that have been discussing it mostly) any sort of atmosphere is being banned from the South Stand. I'm pretty sure people can still shout and chant. I'd imagine the main aim is to get a particular group who drink heavily and will use some bad language, out of the way of families who want to enjoy the atmosphere in a more family friendly environment which I think is more than reasonable.

This way if people want to be in that kind of environment they can choose to go to that particular section of the east stand which is reserved. Where as , if they don't want to be around that sort of thing (and I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't, particularly those with young ones) can choose to stay in the south stand and still enjoy the atmosphere without any of the drunk teenagers fighting amongst them selves, which has happened over the last few seasons.

I guess that another advantage of having this system in place means that say for instance if someone decides to start throwing flares about or getting themselves into trouble after to much pop... It's also a lot easier to find who was sat where and involved with reserved seating.


Of course if fans choose to ignore it (which is likley) I'm not really sure what the club can do? are they going to force certain people to sit in the east?

Problem is the majority of the s1 lot is they were ther on £26 season tickets you don't get that in the east so doubt all will move
I'm in the south and my little uns season ticket with mine is £13 it's ABOUT £120 in the east

Exactly that's my issue as well, u can see the gaps in defence and overlaps etc from behind the sticks, alls you can see on the side lines are forward passes!!

And there's plenty of them.

Sit in the family stand. What's the problem?

Because I now have to sit in a stand full of skrykin kids lol
