Does anyone know why the club aren't doing the Loyal 18 memberships this year? I was certain that I had seen them advertised for the coming season but when my husband rang yesterday he was told they would not be doing them! It was always a no-brainer for us because of the discount on Magic Weekend tickets.

I don't know the actual reason but it is probably the case that either
1) They didn't bring in as much money as expected so were not worth the hassle for the club relative to the amount of money made from them

or

2) The results of the fan survey indicated that lots of STHs were unhappy that people who purchased them and paid significantly less were given equal priority for tickets for finals/SFs/away games and the same level of Magic discount.

or

3)Providing the same benefits as a ST (such as Magic discounts) through those memberships for much less outlay could also have been seen by the club to affect ST sales/renewals with previous STHs opting for one of them rather than another ST (meaning that the option of separate memberships resulted in a loss of potential income for the club).

Are Wigan sending out season ticket renewal packs this year? It was much easier to fill them in and then take them to the ticket office.
There must also people who don't have access to computers so can't use the online booking system.

They sent mine my by email I'm registered with them so they did it this way. I have never filled an application form in yet just took my old season ticket down to the office and renewed it with that. You can also renew on line .

No packs here yet !

My lad (Ross ) qualifies for an under 22 ticket concession . This year i qualify for a over 60 concession (I know i am now officially old) . Wigan have given me a [sizefree[/size car park season ticket because of the distance we travel to games . Happy days. Supporting the Mighty Wigan Warriors has never been cheaper .

Great gesture by the club.

All you need to do know is to migrate a couple of blocks to the of the West Stand and join the GOB's
(Grumpy old Barstewards.)

Ross can be the go for (ale at half time)

Regards, GOB Chairman.

How close am I to the GOB enclosure, I have seats in the west numbered 164 and 163...

If you can smell Ralgex or Deep Heat then your pretty close

those numbers are in the press cage - or at the very least a bit too close. Do you really want George Riley & Dave Woods rattling on in your lug oil for 80 minutes ?

A great gesture indeed Brian

Dont know about a move towards the GOB club Brian but Ross dosen't take or need a lot of encouragement to go for ale .

Still no packs up in the hills, perhaps we are not getting them this year.

I remember seeing somewhere on the site that packs were only going out by eMail this year (although I admit I may have dreamt that )

I still object to being charged a fiver for doing it on-line though (ST + car park)
