dont think its just the fans that are to blame for the obvious drop in crowds this season
MARKET THE F***ING CLUB, POSTERS, WISH FM, ROCK FM, LOCAL PRESS,
OFFFERS, 2 adults paying, 2 kids go free, give 100 free tickets to every school in wigan, ashton, orrell etc that will fill the front rows of every stand, that look so unsightly on TV
people over 60 £5 a game, regardless of what stand they sit in
PRE MATCH ENTERTAINMENT, dancers, singers, actually let the mascot do something, games for the kids !!!
MERCHANDISE - actually put some somewhere, wen patrick take over lets have, tshirts, polo shirts, jumpers, tracksuits, hats, scarves, flags, badges, cups, bed clothes, EVERYTHING and lets have it on sale takin prode of place in the robin park and superstore in wigan
basically SORT IT !!!!
WIGAN RLFC
disapointing crowd
The crowd against Cas was very disapointing. I mean, this is the playoffs, a marketing mans dream surely. I was excited anyway, especially after weeks af virtually meaningless matches (lets face it chances of 1st or 2nd were extremely thin the whole time except for one week).
The crowd was less than for the Leeds match, which people may expect. BUT, Cas brought MORE away fans as far as I could see, so the fault is the Wiganers who can't be bothered to come if they think we're going to win, and can't be bothered to come if they think we're going to lose.
This is the playoffs, what the team have been working for all season. Why can't we get decent crowds?

Embarrassed
I too was very dissapointed with the turn out - more than anything I was embarrassed to have two visiting rugby union fans sitting next to me in season ticket holders seats who hadn't bothered to buy tickets.
These guys despite favouring yawnion really knew their rugby league and enjoyed the game to an extent, but made several comments about the crowd/atmosphere and poor marketing of the club.
Come on wigan sort it out!

Merchandise
I'm with you on that AJ,I looked all over Wigan for a Polo Shirt or similar finally getting a Sweat Shirt from the Lotto Shop (who closed early on Saturday to go to see Wigan give Cas' a good seeing to).
From The Glasgow Branch.
club shop
THe club shop in the massive JJB is pathetic. Football clubs manage to fill a shop size of the whole of that JJB with footy merchandise. I wanted to buy something for the playoffs, but there is only 1 little stand with any thing Wigan Warriors related, and nothing at all from the playoffs.
