Should we charge away supporters to the JJB the same as their club charges Wigan fans?

Organise your next away trip, see who else is going or even arrange group transport with other Wigan fans.

Yes. It's only fair. People pay to watch away teams, the same as people come to watch Wigan, it's the same game. The North and South are identical for viewing apart form the scenery.

Yes we should charge the same as they would charge us if we went to their clubs.

Actually I will back track. It costs to come to Wigan, not the easiest to get to with Wigan Pier traffic and the M62 manchester inbound on a friday night from yorkshire. We want to get 20,000 fans each week that includes increased away support. If we cut the price of the north AND south for equal prices then it should be good. To say other clubs over charge is fine but why should Wigan do it? Cut the prices of the east and west by £1 from next season (including season tickets, not by £1 obviously) then we should make more with the increased attendances.

away clubs have always charged more when Wigan are there because of the amount of fans we take to away games.

I think we should have more games on a sunday espcially when the other lot have finished there poxy little games with there poxy attendances

but yes we should charge the away fans more as few teams bring any decent away support to ours anyway

yes, think of the profit the club could make if they charged the likes of hull kr 20 quid and saints 18 quid compared to what we usually charge away fans.
