What does 'superfan' actually mean? Is it the same as happy clapper or is it a step above?

However it wasn't all sweetness and light was it? what about some the sub 10K attendances even in the "gang of four" glory years?
As I've mentioned to you before the average attendances at JJB/DW are higher than the same period at CP.
I had the best and worst of times at CP but I wouldn’t trade from 1985 to 1995 for any other period. The greatest team I suspect we’ve ever had was 1995 by a country mile. There are players in that team who wouldn’t get a game today such as Offiah and Skerrett.
My first full season asa ST holder was 1967 when Boston Ashton and McTigue were well past their best together with pretty much the rest of the squad. I think we came 16th in the league.
What are the average attendances for 2015 to 2019 when we had 3 GF apeearances and a CC final?
I suspect it’s downhill albeit nowhere near as bad as the seasons that preceded the relegation year and the years pre the gang of 4.
I don’t look back through rose tinted glasses but I’d take CP over the JJB everyday of the week even though it included a period of total dross from 1967 to pretty much 1983 when things started to change for the better.
I went for years almost as a “duty” but when the good times finally arrived we had unbelievable success and I saw some of the all time greats play in the cherry and white.
My favourite season at the JJB was when we escaped relegation when all seemed lost. Some great nights when I never knew what to expect. I’d genuinely put some of those nights on a par with the Manly game at CP. Fantastic atmosphere and the fans at times seemed to drag the team to victory

According to Bilko, 1995 average was 14,368.
Lower than 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
I loved CP and would love to have been able to improve the ground to modern day standards and not have to move, but the fact is that we had to for multiple reasons, we have done and we have a bloody good stadium in its place.

Show us the debts'"
What? The balance sheet is insolvent by 5million. This means it’s liabilities outweigh what it’s owed by 5million.
I will make it easy for you to understand. You have £10 in your bank account but owe other people £1000.
That’s where Wigan RLFC is now
Worthless and insolvent
I’m looking forward to the next auditors report on going concern. It will be interesting to see how they have come up with their conclusion |

Can you list those people we owe money to? We're all still waiting.
I'll make it simple for you.
You have £10 in your bank account but owe other people £1000, so you take £990 from your savings ti pay them.
Money owed - £0 |

We know we lose money, IL knows we lose money which is probably why he has brought in a billionaire to help cover those losses to make sure they don't become debts.
I'm also pretty confident he will be finding ways to reduce those losses such as finding new sponsors which we have done.

You do realise that, no matter how much you bang on about the good old days with every single post, we still won't have a time machine? |

You’re right. Never will we see a league title win at Whelans Folly. Scandal. |

Do Bilko’s stats go back to 1946 to say 1965?
I’d love too see the averages post war and in the early 60’s when we had a great team.
Do you have the link to his site?
