In those circumstances I think 10,200 was solid but not much more. Let’s put it this way, had the rugby club faced the same set of circumstances, I think there would’ve been 15,000+ on.

I’m a season ticket holder for both, significant every time I go to each game is the number of kids at Latics games which is phenomenal. 10,000 ish home support with a huge chunk under 16 in the third tier of English football is future-proofing the club (ownership permitting again obviously!). The general malaise in RL will stop a fair few from coming to games but I don’t see 15,000 home fans coming for a long time. Happy to be wrong though.

Nor me but my 15,000 comment is based on us having the same circumstances as Latics. Hopefully we won’t but say we go in to administration, lose all our players, including our best kids, come within weeks of going to the wall, have no fans in the ground for 18 months at all, get bought out by new owners, buy a whole new team and have an opportunity in our first game back at home to sell as many tickets as we want and do I think we get 15,000+ on? Without any shadow of a doubt IMO.
I sit in the south stand for the rugby and the east stand for the football, so to me it feels like there are more kids at the rugby (certainly the last two games) but that’s because the South Stand us the family stand for the football and pretty much for the rugby. It was a fair crowd at Latics yesterday but not much more than that. I’d have hoped for 13-14,000 after the circumstances of the last 18 months.

A 10,000 crowd for a Latics game is a good crowd judging by their attendances prior to the administration and the pandemic!
The days of being in the money mad world of the Premiership have gone for ever for many smaller clubs like the Latics and Bolton who after being in the Premiership then end up with financial problems as a result of not attracting the same level of support in the lower divisions.

Quote: Ruddy Duck "So come on then.....what do you suggest? It's extremely easy to criticise and never offer solutions. I've listed above what I believe think needs to be done, you may have a different opinion on a solution. Or you may have none and just want to revel in how poor the game is now and we just all make as well pack up?
So I ask again... What is your resolve?'"
Seeing that you chose to ignore the invite I ask again, are you going to suggest a resolve for this poorly run club then or just constantly criticise it? If you do maybe we will agree with with some of your points.
Until then a number of posters on here will consider you a bit of a troll poster.

It is a good crowd no doubt about it ‘if’ we just say Latics got 7,000-8,000 before the pandemic and the same club gets 10,000 after crowds can come back but it was no normal set of circumstances on Saturday. It was a club that had been staring at the abyss, that had been ripped apart and had clubs with hundreds of millions of pounds coming in, picking over its bones (Leeds and Spurs). It is a club with a set of fans that is relieved, excited and in celebration mode of having a future now. It just wasn’t a normal set of circumstances and for that reason I’m not celebrating a good crowd (in normal circumstances) yet. In the Grand scheme of where Latics have been and where they are now it was solid.

| What kind of crowd we expecting Friday ?
Saints and Wigan both losing last week would potential knock 1000 or so off the figure.
15,000+ ?

| Looking at the ticket map online, the 10,000 sold as of last week must include a good chunk of Saints fans. Doubt we’ll get 10k on our own looking at it so far.
I’m guessing about 13-14,000.

Just checked at they do say home fans
“ Wigan Warriors are delighted to reveal that 10,000 home tickets have already been sold for The Derby against St Helens later this month.”
Saints will bring 3.5k+ I reckon.

It doesn’t look that on the map but yer can only take their word for it.
Maybe 14-15k then.

| Just been on the website to book tickets for the Leeds game. Very straightforward. Tickets emailed as a pdf file - it's the future! Big improvement since the last time I booked tickets on there. Credit where credit is due.

| But as before, presumably the '10000 tickets sold' includes all ST holders?
