| Quote 100% Warrior="100% Warrior"Wanes rugby was bad but it brought success, don’t get me wrong I want to see exciting rugby and I was on the Wane Out bandwagon as well but looking back I’d like a balance between them both. I don’t believe Wane’s rugby was a reason the fans stayed away. IMHO the selling of our stars (Sam, Joel, MM) and the recruitment of far lesser players is a huge reason they’ve stayed clear, alongside poor marketing and promotion from the club. Look down the A49 to Warrington to see what can be done with effective marketing and promotion.
For me it’s not just the playing side that needs reform and rebuild. The backroom staff needs it, the marketing team needs it. The whole club top to bottom needs it. Maybe then will we see crowds coming back.'"
Ran by our former Marketing Manager.

Correct. Paul Macleod, mate of mine funnily enough but he’s doing a superb job over at Warrington.

Absolutely but he runs it for the fans (morally I mean). If/when he loses support of the fans, it’s time to pack his trains away and let someone else with better trains conduct the club.
Puns very much intended

Cunningham did not screw Saints over and mess them around. Why would they rip his statue down?
Edwards has taken Wigan fans for a jolly ride for nearly a year and made the club look stupid.
And no i dont just blame Edwards, i blame Lenegan too.

Does someone do that job for us now? Though I hate to say it, I’d say Warrington are leading the way in Superleague of how a club should be run off the field. Ian’s Lenegan and Rads needs a wake up call, the club is falling to pieces and their answer is to promote a big game on a poster at Abram Guest gates or the building site fencing near to Wigan baths. Is that what we have become, advertising on a level with Billy Smarts circus? Mind you, we are a bloody circus at the minute.

I’d like to think so but considering what you’ve just said and the saddening truth of it I do have to wonder.
Just to further that point about our unbelievably poor marketing - that’s a major reason why fans stay away. You’re only going to get X amount of core supporters present home and away week in week out rain or shine. The rest you have to entice in by way of superb marketing. Warrington’s average attendance in 2012 was 11,166 (we had the best with 16,043). I’d be pretty amazed if that wasn’t beaten by 30%-40% this season.
Bigger crowds = bigger income thus bigger kitty for signings. We’ve got to speculate to acccumulate, something which IL has dramatically failed on in recent times. Instead we’ve been to London and Australia to bring in income when the answer is far simpler. Just look at what Warrington are doing!
