What do you think of the current game-day experience? Likes, dislikes?Love it, love the Friday games. Dislike ……. The expensive beer

Do we do enough with our game days? Give me a wish list.No we don’t do enough ….. Carnival atmosphere is a must…. Wigan French market and stuff on the day ……. classic

What, if anything, has stopped you from attending games in the past? My wedding last year, that I had to pay for …. Ooooh that hurt

Do you prefer only to watch one game on match day or does a curtain raiser interest you, too? Would you like to see more games played on match day?
More games ….. lets get the academy playing before the game !!!!


Do you like the big modern stadiums or traditional stadiums?
Modern stadiums with some old time standing room

Do you prefer night rugby, day rugby, Friday, Saturday, Sunday?Friday all the way baby …. Although the 17:30 kick off was a good un
we don't stop playing because we grow old ....... we grow old because we stop playing

Here's a thought, I think we would be hard pressed (well zero chance) to get Reserves / U18s on the JJB but if they were played at Robin Park Arena beforehand woul you go early and then across to the JJB ?

oo bloody right I would. ….. but pushing for the markets out side the game would be bloody brilliant, they would make a fortune and if all else fails we could hurl smelly cheese at the stains !!! :sly:

Do you attend games? Why? Why not?
No A) i dont have the disposable income really, and B)none of my mates are into it enough to come with


What will it take to get you to attend more games?
a Pay rise or someone paying my mortgage

What do you think of the current game-day experience? Likes, dislikes?
I like the dayout sytle experience you get with rugby league cos the fans all get on

Do we do enough with our game days? Give me a wish list.
Very tricky to see what you could do maybe a youth match on before or something

What, if anything, has stopped you from attending games in the past?
again just money really and lack of interest from the people i hang about with and im not going on my todd


Do you prefer only to watch one game on match day or does a curtain raiser interest you, too? Would you like to see more games played on match day?

Yeah think that would be good

Do you like the big modern stadiums or traditional stadiums?
Heart = Traditional Head = Modern

Do you prefer night rugby, day rugby, Friday, Saturday, Sunday?

Sat or Sun

I think the match day expierence at Wigan is good, and compared to most other clubs excellent.I think the club trys its best to crate a good matchday expierence, wot with th fire wiorks, the new big flag in the south and the max blaster. You go to some grounds and you get nothing. The problem is trying to get more fans into the stadium, and this only gets better when the team performs. Us rugby fans are fickle people and want to watch a winning team. :blush:

The hard core is solid Tony but you are right the casual support turns on and off very easily depending on form and in many respects given current economics I suppose it is understandable. However, to get 16,000+ we need them. Away support has been up I woul speculate this season so far.

Our away support or the away supporters at the JJB ?
Because i think the number of away supporters has been poor so far ,ie the no's of Bull supporters was half that you would normally expect. :conf:

Away PW

Mmm I may be wrong PW but I thought the Bulls away following had shrunk to nothing since their halycon SL days. Cas and Wakey were surely up on last season?
