| Quote: ChrisA "Too long, didn't read.
As far as I'm concerned, all this drama has nothing to do with attendances. Good rugby and big names, those two things put bums on seats, I want to enjoy going to games and enjoy the rugby I watch, relief at winning isn't enjoyment. For me it's that simple, a signing or two to excite the fans and some good rugby, the rest is all soap opera and I've no interest.'"
And therein lies the issue
And before you say - If you didn't actually read what I said then Why bother to quote me that it was too long? Just ignore it, make your own comment - But no - make a snide remark etc.
You can bet your life that if it was a similar length post stating that Wane was the Devil incarnate, Ape, Bully etc. it would have been read and an applause or like attached!

It was tongue in cheek, I skimmed over it. It really has nothing to do with the topic title though does it for your average family of fans does it? It's merely fans point proving. Is that what will improve attendences? Like I say, too much drama. To answer the question on topic, I did just that.

Well I suggest that you do read it in it's entirety.

I just have, some good points. But as I said, none of it really is going to put any extra bums on seats, which was my point, which probably should have been made without the comment. I just feel there's too much drama amongst the fans at the moment and we all get a little hysterical one way or another, whilst there maybe a group on here, how many don't post and aren't interested in petty squabbles on forums? Most just want the odd big name signing and want to watch good rugby. That's my point really, that when it comes to retaining fans and getting people back in, we need to forget pointless forum discussions as basically it's irrelevant and it's the club that need to do something.

| Juke don't think it's overly long and the vast majority of what you say is pretty balanced and a good read.
Personalty I'm delighted that I got it so wrong in that I thought we were incapable of winning the GF. If people want to take the urine out of me for getting it wrong I've no problem as long as it is done without being abusive and ideally I'd prefer it with a bit of humour.
I still think we were awful to watch for 75% of the season and nothing will change my view on that point.
The turning point for me was when our forwards started playing and acting like forwards and all this shoite about "middles" was despatched to the gant (one for the teenagers to research) where it belongs.

| Hypothetically, what if Wigan signed Albert Kelly to go along with Morgan Escare. You would have two of the most exciting ball runners in Rugby League in the same team. Would the "We want attractive rugby" pundits be happy? I'm sure it could be exciting, however I doubt we'd win anything.

I'd sooner sign Albert Steptoe than Albert Kelly

If that happened there'd be a large groups of Wigan fans rubbing their hands and preparing their Wane out speeches

Exactly, and they wouldn't mention entertainment. It would be all about winning trophies.

| I see next season's ST prices have been published. Whilst it looks reasonable value for those who already hold a ST and intend to go to every game no matter where or when it is played, the discounts to attract new business are not that great. In particular, the removal of the exchange facility for matches moved date/venue is particularly interesting.

Rogues, I'm struggling to figure your overall opinion out. Forget this season as its been crazy to say the least. Going into next year, are you confident that with a fully fit squad, we will play some good rugby, I'm not talking free flowing 50 points a game each week, I'm talking overall, just good rugby over the weekly rounds.

Isn't Albert Stepyoe a tad old for the team, also he may be happy were he is.

| Quote: Ziggy Stardust "Wigan Peer is right..In YOUR opinion..However YOUR opinion is not everyones.
The season was very poor standard and then the Widnes game happened.
That was one of the worst ever performances for many years, especially under the Wane and Maguire years.
Then suddenly, the team with no change of personnel turned into a different beast.
Why did this happen, was it because you were sat in the stands clapping away after the defeat??
Or was because of the amount of critisism forced or made someone force Waney to change what he was doing??
Because he changed dramatically the way the team was allowed to off the cuff attack.
I think if you look back over peoples posts even the very critical ones praised the team effort and defence.
You've been all over the place having a pop at anyone you can, but your still wrong.
Your strutting around on the forum now putting anyone who was unhappy with Waney down.
But didn't have the B@lls to come on here and defend like purple cheese did during the season and even he had enough after the Widnes game.
We won and i'm delighted and if we can play like the last 6 weeks 70% of next season even if we don't win the GF then i'd hope Waney would have a contract extension.
But this season until the last 6 weeks has been the lowest point for the club in performance for some time, injuries is not an excuse because the same players turned into a different team so it was tactics..
As Brucie says.....Keep Clapping..'"
No Wigan Peer was right. He stated why he and others like me haven't posted a lot this year. FWIW I did support Shaun Wane and the style of play on here up until about June, then I stopped bothering.
You do seem to l@pse into personal @buse don't you? Do you think it makes you sound h@rd or something? Maybe you're (note the spelling) just an illiterate f@n, who knows no better.
PS Glad to see that you finally agree with me and support a contract extension for Waney. I'll strut off now
