Let's face it a Thursday night match against a bottom side which is televised is never going to attract a big crowd.

Why?...or is it just 'that's that' attitude?

Wigan average around 10,000 home fans on a Friday which is always lower on a Thursday if not in the school holidays. London bring no away fans. Not hard to work out really.

Of course if we were winning matches like you guys then we might bring in some glory hunters (although surely none of them still reside in Warrington) with a light show or the chance to meet a bloke in a costume but instead we're just stuck with the regular 8,000-9,000 we get every week win or lose.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif

Glory hunters and Warrington don't go into the same sentence.

Next time i don't attend a home game I think I'll keep that information to myself! icon_twisted.gif

Anway, for my sins, I did attend the London game. I don't think I can recall watching a worse game at the DW. Appalling.

Did you not go to the Huddersfield game? There wasn't a great deal between either game to be fair....except the result!

Tough to recall watching four consecutive halves of rugby of such a low standard.

At least it wasn't freezing

23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png



If 2-3000 fans who have S/T or tickets aren’t actually showing up, the club need to be asking them why. This whole “it’s the number of tickets sold” smokescreen won’t wash.

What’ll happen next season when those people don’t bother to buy a ticket in the first place and crowds drop thousands more. The club should be extremely concerned by this trend. Others will be watching thinking - crowd looks awful, don’t fancy that again. Just like when crowds are rising it encourages floating fans to jump on the bandwagon to be involved. It’s happening in reverse.

It’s been mentioned on other threads but the marketing of individual games is beyond pitiful. You get a quickly knocked up poster that is shared on the club’s social media channels and that’s it. They don’t even make sense, Burgess doing a hush gesture for a game against London, WTF! It’s like they don’t want big crowds.

What happened to The Big One? Family promotions? Heinz cheap tickets? Heritage day, etc.

FFS on Thursday they GAVE AWAY 100 tickets because it was Gildart’s 100th game the week before icon_lol.gif d040.gif If that’s the best they can come up with they need to GTFO of our club.

icon_lol.gif no doubt th next step will be a cheesy advert about how tough and fast rugby league is on Rock FM.

When you think about it, how much is it for 2 adults and 2 kids to go to the pictures?

How much to go to the rugby? Plus paying for parking on the same car park.

What they need to do is instead of having crap posters, just do what Latics do and have a big sign saying when their next home game is and who against.

Maybe even advertise - ‘Family Ticket (4 people, max 2 adults, can be 1 adult and 3 kids) inc a programme, 4 pies/chips and 4 bottles of pop/water/hot drink for £50 and free parking.

Against London and Catalans these are games where we can fill the North stand with freebies, Groupon tickets, giveaways, school trips, family tickets etc. But they’ve saved a wage in doubling up the marketing managers job with another one, penny wise pound foolish.

I caught the second half. Thought it was a decent contest, a damn sight better than anything Wigan have shown this season.

If your crowds continue in the downward spiral do you think you may consider a ground share at the Leigh Sports Village? The DW Stadium is far too big.
