Some Questions
Re: Some Questions
All home games, and as many away as I can get to. Why? Habit of over 50 years...just can't quit!cpwigan wrote:Do you attend games? Why? Why not?
More income, and more time.
What will it take to get you to attend more games?
Not interested in anything other than the game.
What do you think of the current game-day experience? Likes, dislikes?

Lack of money/time.
What, if anything, has stopped you from attending games in the past?
If it was a Wigan game (reserves/academy) then yes, otherwise probably not.
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?
Both have plusses and minuses. Depends a lot on the crowd. A reasonably decent traditional stadium (ie not KR!) has a better atmosphere, and I do like standing up, which modern ones don't usually allow.
Do you like the big modern stadiums or traditional stadiums?
At home, any. Away, weekends are better for me, can't get to some of the further grounds on a Friday night.

Re: Some Questions
I go when I can.
Sunday afternoons definitely better for me, then Saturday afternoon or night.
Friday's are a nightmare as I have to take a full day off work to get there.
I get to usually six or seven games a season.
Total cost for a day including train travel and ticket between £80 and £100. If the games are weekend games (Sat or Sun) I can combine it with a trip to visit family back in the North, so the cost is less as my wife drives, and I can usually get a lift back to the relatives house.
Warm up games are never going to happen while latics are in the premiership, and probably not even if they get relegated whilst Whelan is in charge.
I have no problems at all with the game day experience, apart from getting out of the car park.
I guess I really want to turn up, see the game, get home, but that is now, when it's cold sitting around waiting. I may have a different opinion if we get a summer this year

Re: Some Questions
I attend all home games as i have a season ticket for the convenience.
Some away games i cant get there due to sunday commitments
I would prefere a curtain raiser if the gam was on a sat evening like last night, otherwise on a friday theres not much point as most struggle to get there for 8 due to work ect and traffic. Im lucky as i take most fridays as one day off work.
I prefare the old fasioned grounds like leeds, you feel more involved due to being closer to the pitch.

Re: Some Questions
Do you attend games? Why? Why not?
yes, go to games just to be there! the atmosphere we can create is electric and everyone should be forced to sample rugby league it is that good
What will it take to get you to attend more games?
pretty much hard as I literally go to all the games anyway, last game i missed was catalans in june last year, gcse exam the day before!
What do you think of the current game-day experience? Likes, dislikes?
i like that we now sell stuff outside the ground
Do we do enough with our game days? Give me a wish list.
I think we need to do more for the kids, how hard can it be to get a section of the concorse cordened off for kids activities
What, if anything, has stopped you from attending games in the past?
when ive missed games it is usually down to me having a game myself.
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?
considering i went to the reserves game yesterday it was fantastic having a full day of rugby to watch. yes i would like to see more games played on match day
Do you like the big modern stadiums or traditional stadiums?
traditional stadiums like leeds and saints tend to generate the best atmosphere being a wigan fan. I cant stand the JJB it i too open but I love going away to the KC because it is closed in.
Do you prefer night rugby, day rugby, Friday, Saturday, Sunday?
night rugby on a friday, but i do not mind the odd saturday/ sunday game.

attend as many home and away games as possible
why - because i love the family friendly sport and love the club more.
like the atmosphere dislike our up and down form.
only turn up for the match anything else on match day is a bonus.
like opening matches and adds to the atmosphere.
would like to see the academy on just before the senior squad just like when we play against saints.
i only started watching rugby in 2000 so dont know about the atmosphere in Central Park but going off other traditional stadiums in SL i like the modern day grounds although more of a atmosphre at SOME old grounds.
prefer night rugby for big matches but playing teams like Hul, Wakefeild and others for Saturday is still good

LoL I actually found the survey on an NRL website so I thought it would be interesting to see how it applies to us. However, for a marketing fee lol

Re: Some Questions
Do you attend games? Why? Why not?
Yes because it's what I grew up with, a part of me (aawww)
What will it take to get you to attend more games?
For my wedding to be over with and flexible working hours for Catalans trips
What do you think of the current game-day experience? Likes, dislikes?
it's ok... the pre-match singers were dire, I would like to swear but cant. they were awful. We always seem to get 'bands' who sing the same songs, bon jovi, bryan adams etc... i'd rather watch adult animal movies instead of that tripe.
Do we do enough with our game days? Give me a wish list.
For me personally nothing more can be done at home, im not bothered if we have bear bating (apart from dire singers, next question)...
What, if anything, has stopped you from attending games in the past?
Danielle. Being at uni didnt affect me, i was fuelled by student loan even with long distance travel via trains to yorkshire and wigan from lancaster each friday
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?
always wanted to watch U21s but my time is full, always it seems.
Do you like the big modern stadiums or traditional stadiums?
Mixture of both. I like going to Cas, wakefield etc it brings back memories of childhood. I also like huddersfield and hull fc for modernity.
Do you prefer night rugby, day rugby, Friday, Saturday, Sunday?
home - friday night
away - saturday 3pm - i like the travel (quins, magic and when we go celtic) its a whole day.
