33718_1325770967.jpg Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

| Quote: DaveO "I don't think its IL who needs to worry its the RFL. Its not good that these games attract so few speccies. I was quite shocked to be honest to see the empty spaces at the ground.
I must admit I thought twice about going mainly because of it being a Sunday and my son has to get up for school tomorrow but we went and we go back to Chester at 22I do think we should get any home playoff games in with the price and if we did the crowds would easily be bigger. We had different people say next to us than usual so the two who have season tickets.
Dave'"
wouldnt work imo.
they would have to incorporate any possible home play off games in the overall price on assumption that we could have possibly 3 home games.
we can hardly expect 3 freebies.
and if we didnt make the top 6 people would moan about the season ticket prices.
right way to go is to reduce the prices for season ticket holders to half price.
wouldnt make a difference to pay on the day speccies.

| As a fan and season ticket holder it is my perogative to decide which games i attend. It is the clubs responsibility to market their product sufficiently well enough to ensure i attend. I didn't attend yesterday for several reasons which i dont feel i should have to expalin to anyone. With a bit of juggling yes i could have attended but on the balance of things i wasn't willing to make the neccessary sacrifices. If the club and RFL are concerned maybe they need to look into why i and many others just werent that attracted to this game.

| for the life of me i cant understand why a season ticket holder would go all season and not go too the playoff games{work commitments aside}
as for marketing the game why should the club need to market the most important fixture of the season to attract a crowd.

| Some people will have had plans etc with the game only being confirmed a week in advance, the cost will put others off and the fact its on TV others.
Ill say again, if the RFL price the play off's properly the games will be well attended.

The admission prices are set by the RFL. If it was ÂŁ10 per adult and ÂŁ5 per concession I reckon our crowd last night and at the other play off games, would have at least doubled.
The total receipts would have been similar and it would have looked good on the telly.

| I didn't go either and I'm definately not ashamed. I go on holiday this week and need all the spare money that I have. Most gay argument ever.

You will find that it was the same at all four games.

[size=75:2d8t03fs]Ancient and loyal, upon my chest
they are men of wigans best
a team that plaaayed, the wigan way
and won the championship in may
jim sullivan, he was the king
brian mctigue and johnny ring
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the championship in may
when eric ashton was alive
and billy boston by his side
with dave bolton and billy blan
oh what a time to be a fan
in 85, at wem-ber-ly
john ferguson and brett kenny
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the challenge cup in may
in 95 we won them all
tuigamala, faz and paul
a team that played the wigan way
and won the championship in may
