So would I. We have won two major trophies over the last two years, I expected the number of season ticket holders to fly up.

I think our average could go down due to saints being the last home game, what a rubbish fixture list. Why have such a huge game as the last game in the regular season? The only way it can be a success is if we need to win that game to finish top, I see that as highly unlikely.

I wasn't really expecting us to hit 11k tbh. With how the season ended last year after the CC final, plus the fact the recruitment has hardly been too much to get excited about. To hit 11k+ I think we'd have needed a big name or halfback to come in. As long as we get off to a good start I don't think the average will be too far down on last year though.

Re. the playoffs, it is most blatantly obvious that the current format HAS to change! Even if they insist on keeping 8 teams (too many imo) then just follow the same structure as the NRL. The fact cuurently 1st and 2nd get the same advantage and there is a strong likelihood that week 1s fixtures will be repeated in week 3 is nothing short of ridiculous, and the attendance figures reflected this.

And if we were moving into our very own brand new stadium we would be hitting the 11-12k imo.

Agree with that. We can only dream of a 20k stadium with standing behind the goals.

Getting back to Wigan RL season tickets, my missus hasn't renewed this season due to one reason or another. She has however, taken calls twice in the past few weeks from Wigan RL staff (not automated message, an actual person BTW) with regards to renewal. The first was a reminder that the renewal date was coming up and the other a couple of days ago with regards to offers for match day tickets (discounts, half price magic tickets...etc), they were on the phone for around five minutes plugging it!

Fair play to them for trying I suppose!

Assuming they are contacting everyone on the database not yet taken up a season ticket, hopefully they will convert a few using these tactics.

Get January out the way then i expect a little burst for season tickets...everybody is skint that first few weeks after christmas.

Scrum tickets available on ST this year?

WOW just seen how cheap Wigan season tickets are, think you should be looking at 15-16k season ticket holders at them prices, IL has done a great job for both club and supporters since his takeover.
