Fair enough, but there are still plenty of local fans who just can’t be a**ed!kevbrown1980 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 8:11 amDistance.

I cannot understand “fans” who won’t attend the cup rounds but are first in the bloody queue for finals!!
Support your team please.
The only place I won’t travel to now is France as, mainly the insurance is getting far too high for me & all my pets need caring for. Dogs cats no problem but there isn’t a place that I can take my chickens to be looked after while I go galavanting in Europe
People comment on the price of tickets but it’s the RFL who make the prices
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Wigan squad for Salford
true but based on SL game prices, if all clubs charged 10 a ticket then the RFL wouldnt charge 30 for a round gamejosie andrews wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 2:50 pmFair enough, but there are still plenty of local fans who just can’t be a**ed!kevbrown1980 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 8:11 amDistance.

Re: Wigan squad for Salford
I kind of understand the comments about fans who don't attend.
My own experience is that I've been up and down in attending games over the years depending on circumstances.
I saw my first live match when I was 12. I went to as many as I could as I had to work in my Dad's shop on a Saturday, and could only see the match if my Mum covered for me. (So I probably didn't count as a true fan.)
Age 15 we moved to Yorkshire. I spent virtually all my spending money going to games with a mate who was a Wakey fan. Alternate weeks to each team. Went as far as Barrow and Workington. True fan.
After three years in Scotland (bad fan), moved back to Yorkshire and by 1980, age 29, I took my 3 year old son to his first match ("the battle of Fartown"). Over the next 20 years or so, me and my 2 lads drove over the Pennines for most Sunday home games, and saw most of the Yorkshire away games, including Hull.
Nowadays, aged 70, I go to games on my own. Gave up driving over the hill on a Friday years ago. Try to see away games at Leeds, both Hull teams, Hud, Wakey, Cas, and book into a hotel for the Saints game plus an odd other game per season.
To be honest, supporting Wigan is important to me, but not in my top 5 or possibly top 10 things in life.
Everybody has their own circumstances and makes their own decisions. Ageing parents to look after, work, or just other things to do. The club needs support from all kinds of people, not just the "every match" type.

Emma Jones?, She's no Tanya Arnold
Re: Wigan squad for Salford
I watch Free Sports quite a bit actually. The pool on Monday nights can be pretty good. They showed El Clasico the other day too.
