in the T&Cs I'm taking that to mean the Super 8s are excluded. Especially as they make a deliberate distinction between the 11 "regular" home games and the 3 or 4 afterwards.
If this [iis[/i the case, and it's new for next year, then they must have recognised that due to the very unpredictable scheduling of the last set of matches, loads of people can't make it and would ordinarily want to switch. And they've taken steps to prevent it, which is more than a bit cynical IMO.

If Wigan want us to pay more then i personally want to see more 'superstars'. I've always said that i'd be more than willing to pay £30 or possibly £40 for a ticket if i the on field product was better.

Sadly todays current product/game doesn't even come close to providing anything close to warrenting an increase in price. I only need to look back 15/20 years ago to think that back then Wigan vs Saints was Radders, Faz, Newton, Lam, Dallas vs Long, KFC, Scully, Lyon, Albert.

No offence to either of them but i don't want to pay more to watch Matty Smith vs Danny Brough/Walsh/Myler than what i did to see Lam vs Long/Paul/Briers.

I don't think the prices are that bad and certainly cheaper than www.mysaintsmembership.com/prices/ warringtonwolves.com/membership-prices-2016 www.rhinosmemberships.com/pricing www.wiganwarriors.com/seasontick ... ket-prices

I can understand people don't like to see these above-inflation prices, but SL is still a hell of a lot cheaper than football. Based on the 'superstar' criterion, I agree that the Premiership isn't a fair comparison, but I just checked the prices for my home-town club, who are in League 1, so third tier of football.

Best seats are £480. 'Early bird' price £425. Admittedly that is for more matches, though. Works out to £20.87 per game. And even now, SL offers a much higher standard; you don't see international players in League 1.

I agree with you and personally think SL is great value for money. But the big difference is there's generally enough football supporters who will buy tickets at what seem like ridiculous prices. Look at the silly prices RUWC tickets have been going for, but nearly every stadium has been full.

We've just had out 4th consecutive season of falling average attendances at the DW, and 2015 was the first time in 10 years we've dropped below 14k. To me enough hasn't been done to turn this round. Sam coming back might put a few on the average gate but we then don't have the home Good Friday game next year which is usually better supported than the derby game later in the season. A lot of fans were annoyed by the London game and I genuinely think that could have a knock on effect on ST sales, plus we've had another nearly-but-not-quite-good-enough trophyless season. If I was IL I'd be more concerned about getting the numbers up and ticket prices should be the first place to look IMO.

Yeah I can understand that. I'm not typical cos I live a distance away so a season ticket is out of the question, but the price of the ticket is small change for me compared to petrol, hotel bills, etc.

I Stopped my season ticket after the 2011 season because of 3 main reasons
1 I was unhappy with the signings
2 It was becoming more expensive
3 They kept changing k.o. times and moving games to different days because of WAFC

I agree the Thursday night games is the biggest issue the club faces. It's an awful night for the fan that attends games but it's actually a very good night (for me anyway) to watch a game when Wigan aren't playing. Due to that reason I doubt it'll change anytime soon.

As good as this season has been, the crowds haven't been anything to shout about for anybody.

What I don't like about the tv system is that all clubs get the same t.v money. IMO there should be a "basic" amount that all clubs get and then a top up for the clubs that appear on t.v. At least that way they would be financially compensated for the the loss of spectators (particularly the Thursday games) due to t.v. coverage.
Wasn't that how it was done during the "Grandstand" days on the BBC?

All clubs should have a minimum number of Thursday games.

Minimum? Let me think about that....

Won't be getting one personally, as I work Fridays & Saturdays and rely on Public Transport, don't get back into Stoke until 7pm, so zero chance of making it to Wigan!

Juniors are still excellent value at £30 , plus the benefits.

First time in 19yrs I won't be renewing. I'm going to pick and choose my games, I know all the diehards will lambast my decision however I need to get my point across to the club and this IMO is the only way.
