Don't bloody preach to people you know absolutely nothing about. I turned up and watched us play the likes of Fulham, I froze my clacks off away at Oldham getting knocked out of the CC in a match that should originally have been at home.

If i choose not to goto a 7pm Sunday match when I have family commitments, who the bloody hell are you to have a dig?

What happens if you have family commitments at the same time we play in a final?

Oh.. wait...

So you turn up to every single game home and away every season?

Season ticket holders know which games they get for their money. They also know any extra games have to be paid for at the gate rate, unless there are any concessions.
Non season ticket holders choose which games to go to depending on certain criteria.
It seems ridiculous that because people exercise a choice, they can be castigated as 'bad' fans.
So unless you go to every single game, home and away, academy and reserve games and watch training sessions, and know what the players had for breakfast, you're not worthy of being called a 'supporter'.

Well said mate, i've watched Wigan for 30 years, the start of which were some right dire tripe and some very unglamorous events. Now however i'm a parent, and there's bugger all way i'm going to tell my daughter "Sorry love, i know i promised i'd spend Sunday evening with you, but you got to realise there was no game announced when I said it, and after all I need to put a game of Rugby before you"

Absolutely. We'd have gone on a Saturday, but 7 on a school night is going to keep those with kids away, especially if you have to travel. Getting an 8 year old in at gone 10.00 isn't a good idea. At the end of the day we lost probably 3,000 off the gate by getting beaten by Hudds - that was the real cost of that defeat

Ok, so how would you feel if your Season Ticket cost another £10-£20, then you found that Wigan didnt have a home game?

A playoff game is a BONUS game - one that cannot be guarranteed at the start of a season. The only way you will get bigger crowds on a Sunday night is to slash the prices for all, not just ST holders who have already had a large discount on seat prices throughout the season.

Whilst we won last night, I'm sure with 18000 on instead of 8000 (which included 2000 from Cas), we'd have won by a larger margin. There were barely enough people to haul that LOYAL 18 Flag around!

It is not a large discount at all. You are right it is a bonus game and so I would have thought as a reward for stumping up the cash for an entire season up-front they could reward the ST holders with a free bonus game!

ST holders have committed to watch every home game whether they do or not. If I can plan things right I can fix it to miss one game due to holidays but if things get in the way such as work I'd be financially better off paying on the day. I think a reward for the loyalty and the up front cash is not out of order. If they want to offer cheap tickets to none ST holders as well, no problem.

I've been to a total of 5 games this season, but I'll be going to the final if we get there. Discuss.......

Category 5 fan!!!!!!


Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I've missed 2 games all year but won't be going to the final if we get there because my girlfriend f*cked the holiday booking up.

She's a goon...........Discuss

The fantastic deal season ticket holders got this season?
Season ticket (silver east stand) 220, gameday ticket 18.
13 home games individually - 234. A massive saving of 14?
Plus season ticket holders werent able to take advantage of the big one cheap tickets and correct me if im wrong but werent we promissed a free challenge cup ticket that didnt materialise?

I've probably made several mistakes in the above and im sure people will ensure im made aware of them but the point im trying to make is that by buying a season ticket we are doing the club a favour not the other way round.

I love the club even more so this year with the improved number of wigan trained players involved, but no one is going to make me feel guilty for missing a game and being a "poor supporter" when i have certainly done my fair bit to support the club this year and many before.

the challenge cup ticket was for a home game in round 3 but we got barrow away i think. Oh and we get into the SS bar with 10000 st holders and a capacity of not a lot its not a pro and a 10% saving on your first order from warriors world??

We do the club a favour as it know what money it has to spend no what it thinks it can. If I choose not to go to a game that I have not already purchased then so be it, the club hasnt inspired me to do so with the drivel I have had to turn up and watch this year.
