Low key opener?
Re: Low key opener?
while I appreciate everyone situation is different, I personally don't understand the I have work the next morning argument.
I attend Thursday matches, I don't get home until about 11 - 11.30 depending on how long it takes to get off the carpark and have to get into work for 7-8 am the next day while having 2 young children to potentially have to sort out in the morning (if they are up early enough).
that isn't me saying oh look at me but more it boils down to how much you want to go, do the crowds that turn up to watch Man U midweek have the same issue? they can't all not be working the next day.
that said I sadly will miss this Thursday as I allowed my wife to go instead as she's a Warrington supporter and you do have to have pity on them :D

That’s as maybe but for clearly a lot of reasons those that aren’t coming anymore clearly haven’t bought into the 2 big signings,it’ll need more than that I fear,trust is hard to win back,that and the fact we simply overplay teams too much each season.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 7:23 pm Ive said it elsewhere, people need to put their money where their mouth is and get behind our team.
I know me and the better half aren’t doing the away loop fixtures this season and if we get into a run where we seem to face the same team over and again then we will miss it,just to try and keep it all fresh.

Re: Low key opener?
Would you not include french in that? He was recruited for this year and only played last year as we had to sign him or miss the opportunity.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 2:12 pmThat’s as maybe but for clearly a lot of reasons those that aren’t coming anymore clearly haven’t bought into the 2 big signings,it’ll need more than that I fear,trust is hard to win back,that and the fact we simply overplay teams too much each season.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 7:23 pm Ive said it elsewhere, people need to put their money where their mouth is and get behind our team.

From what we saw from him last year after very little time around the team I'm very excited for watching him this year.
Hopefully we should see an increase i attendance, i image football will price alot of people out shortly and our tickets seem good value.

That I can accept Meds but I am talking about all those who said they wouldn’t go until IFL invested in the team. Well he has so no excuses for them!medlocke wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 7:59 pmWhat if they haven't got the money, I struggle to do anything after paying my tattooist after a sessionshaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 7:23 pm Ive said it elsewhere, people need to put their money where their mouth is and get behind our team.

But the points you raise, although valid, were not put forward as a reason for many not attending.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 2:12 pmThat’s as maybe but for clearly a lot of reasons those that aren’t coming anymore clearly haven’t bought into the 2 big signings,it’ll need more than that I fear,trust is hard to win back,that and the fact we simply overplay teams too much each season.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 7:23 pm Ive said it elsewhere, people need to put their money where their mouth is and get behind our team.

Re: Low key opener?
No I wouldn’t include French as a signing for this season,he came last year and while impressive for me he’s a player from last season not a “new” player though I concede we fans will hopefully see the best of him this yearCaboosegg wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 2:47 pmWould you not include french in that?

Re: Low key opener?
I certainly agree with comments regarding Thursday evenings being impractical (work and family) and of course Skysports also puts a spanner in the works......no getting away from it.
That said, I think there is a very strong Wigan V Wire and for the opening game of the season, I would expect fans to roll out in big numbers from both clubs!
As for signings, George Burgess and Jackson Hastings are NRL standard and Bevan French at 1 will surely be entertaining......if these signing aren't enough to wet ones appetite god help us

Re: Low key opener?
As I travel to games from Chester the motorways are generally quieter than for a Friday night game and there is less chance half of the journey home ends up having them coned off or even shut due to weekend roadworks but that is about it.
For me the worst thing is that 15 minute earlier kick off. It's amazing the difference that 15 minutes makes to traffic on a Friday.
