It wasn't a serious comment, I have no problem with the amount we pay but lots of people insist it costs too much money to go to rugby matches and that's their (alleged) reason for not going to the JJB. Personally I'd see the money spent on marketing the club better, signs next to major roads, something in the town centre etc to ram the fixtures down people's throats.ian.birchall posted:
Fraggle, stop being a scrooge and wanting a couple of £ off the season ticket. I have been talking today to a Leeds United fan who is incensed that she has to pay £460 for next season when they are in the first division not the premiership. Wigans prices are a bargain, particularly with the rugby we have seen in the past month.
Just remember our average attendance whilst creeping up must be a good 3/4000 behind the Whinoes average, the salary cap for all our players at £1.8million is just half what Ferdinand gets at Man U and probably a quarter of what the Lactics players are getting :baaa:
As for the salary cap, the only people who think it's fair are people associated with clubs that can't even spend £1.8 million. That's not our fault, but we have to live with it and so need to balance the squad within those limits. I see us having a number of potential centres, hopefully some new props, but no reserve fullback. Surely we need to be filling in gaps in the squad at least as much as bringing in expensive players who will cause us to lose more players. Remember we're up against the limit all the time, we don't have the space under the cap to bring in too many expensive players without having to sacrifice others. Who would we be prepared to lose for this world class centre I keep hearing about (and no, I don't think Dodgy's wages would be enough to pay for any top player).
