what do you do if those supporters never come back?
We palpably cannot attract new supporters as dwindling crowds do not lie.
Current holders of 2 trophies can't sell more tha 4000 tickets for a CC SF 10 miles down the road.
I don't hear any upbeat marketing splurge on CC final ticket sales do you?
Something isn't right and it's the quality of play play for me that is at the heart of it.

The armchair critics out in force again, they never learn

Assuming yeah? Ok.

I genuinely haven't got a clue on ticket sales.
I'm just going off family and friends who aren't going but have always gone previously.
I assume that my family and friends are pretty representative of the fan base

You assume correct Itchy

The whole sport in the UK is going backwards, from our so called elite clubs down to the number of amateurs playing. Feel free to ignore this fact.

There are some fans who support the club through thick and thin and there are those (like some on here) who just like to moan and won't go to a game unless they believe Wigan will win and win by a lot! Is this season's rugby the best I've ever seen? No. Am I satisfied with our current position? No. Will I be there on Friday? Yes. Will I be at Wembley? Yes.

The truth here is that I consider myself a Wigan supporter and by definition I will continue to SUPPORT the club as best I can.

All this negativity is starting to irritate me though so I'll probably leave this forum, rather than get dragged down by it all.

Suit yourself. It's called freedom. Or would you rather read a series of posts where people who have watched this sport for many years ignore the evidence before their eyes and pretend they are still paying for and being served with top class rugby league? For me, I'm quite comfy in my armchair, thanks.

Can't speak for anyone else but I would be disappointed if you left the forum.
You're a regular contributor With views I genuinely respect even though I don't always agree with you.
A good healthy debate is far better than one sided views.

Excuse my ignorance but what does this say?
Do the coloured areas mean not sold?
If that's the case have Hull sold virtually their entire allocation?

Yes sorry, coloured block still has seats available. This is the RFLs allocation though so separate to the clubs though I imagine it will be similar.

We have a lot of fair weather fans, that's why our end isn't sold out yet.

Thanks for that.
To be fair we have sold more than than I expected and although not fully sold out many of them could be nearly sold out which come a week on Saturday.
