| Quote infamous grouse="infamous grouse"He's only part way through his second season in Aus. He hasn't been in favour this season so he maybe looking for a release now but I very much doubt he signed 6 months ago, that would be 3 months before the NRL season started so he wouldn't have known how things would turn out.'"
Might be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, but with Joel leaving confirmed, and Greenwood not featuring at all in the first team over in Aus, it wouldn't be unthinkable to try to bring him to Wigan with immediate effect.
Would be a positive amongst many negatives of late. |

The suggestion I’m being told is we’re finalising the deal to do exactly that

Quote Mash Butty="Mash Butty"I've got this horrible feeling Wigan are simply running out of cash, in years gone by we got good deals for each of the Tomkins which filled the reserves of cash and we haven't had those inflows of late, just people going - i.e headcount reductions. The attendances & sponsorships aren't making up for it. Sorry for the pessimism but it's something I've seen many times before in my line of work.'"
You're right about attendences, we have been sliding ever since peaking at 16k average back in 2012.
Unfortunately Bilko's site only shows until 2014:
wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... age_id=489
2011 - 16,125
2012 - 16,045
2013 - 14,544
2014 - 14,102
2015 - ? (approx 13k IIRC)
2016 - ? (approx 13k IIRC)
2017 - ? (approx 12k IIRC)
2018 - *11,100 (approx so far)
Definitely the crowds are going in the wrong direction. A third down in revenue since 2011.
* I didn't include the Hull FC gate in Aus, not sure if that made much money or not to be honest! |

I agree with this but I’d also throw into the mix the ever dwindling standard of Super League, the mis management and sheer idiocy by the RFL, the confusion as to the set up for 2019 (which I find utterly repulsive). The list is endless. |

But IL took a game to Millwall and also to the other side of the world. Surely the revenue gained from these "exciting" ventures would more than cover any shortfall in supporters not showing up due to the crap being served up on the pitch! |

Good points on the games still to come, offers some balance on the situation. |

Cheers Brian, hopefully we can have a few good attendances back end of the season to lift us into 12k+ |

| Quote MattyB="MattyB"So since the beginning of the season we've now lost (without replacement):
Gelling
FPN
Joel
Surely there's spare cash in the pot to recruit in for the rest of this season (even if on loan)? Or will the club just ride it out with the squad we have left?'"
With Greenwood signed immediately that answers that question. Good bit of business in a dour three week period. |
