it does though, with the signings we have made this year if we don't see an increase why would he sign more than needed. its a 2 way street fans need to support the club to see if survive, and i'd put a bet on those who claim they will only return when we get a decent signing will find another excuse not to return when we have one.Mike wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 7:59 pm https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/why-wi ... 1-10212347
Its happening!
I don't like the implication that IL thinks the crowds have to return *before* we get new signings. That's not how it works I'm afraid.

You are spot on there. We have read the gripes about the lack of quality discouraging fans from attending, IFL has put that right and as a consequence he needs to be backed by supporters contributing their hard earned cash. If we want a team to compete and be successful at the highest level then we need to vote with our feet. The only other thing I would add, and I concur with Dave O here, is that IFL should try and get more investment coming into the club.Caboosegg wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 8:20 amit does though, with the signings we have made this year if we don't see an increase why would he sign more than needed. its a 2 way street fans need to support the club to see if survive, and i'd put a bet on those who claim they will only return when we get a decent signing will find another excuse not to return when we have one.Mike wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 7:59 pm https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/why-wi ... 1-10212347

To be fair IL hasn't really brought any top signings in has he, We've got an ageing Burgess brother, An NRL reject in Hastings, Another project signing in French, A solid centre in Bibby and Mitch Clark, Not exactly ster studded is it, Don't get me wrong I'm happy with these signing but would have been happier with a few higher profile players, High profile players put bums in seats, How many more season tickets would we have sold if IL had managed to get Thurston for one season, I reckon it would have been a good amountshaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 5:14 pmYou are spot on there.

I never said they weren't quality players, Just not the cream of the crop, If I was a resident of the greater Wigan area I probably would have bought a season ticket because of these signings, But i'm not so I won't be, Now if we had signed Thurston for 1 last season, Warea-Hargreaves, SBW & Brad Dwyer I would have been on the phone in a shot for a ticket, To see players of such awesome quality would certainly be worth itbertina wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 5:59 pmWhat a load of c- -p Meds.medlocke wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 5:42 pmTo be fair IL hasn't really brought any top signings in has he, We've got an ageing Burgess brother, An NRL reject in Hastings, Another project signing in French, A solid centre in Bibby and Mitch Clark, Not exactly ster studded is it, Don't get me wrong I'm happy with these signing but would have been happier with a few higher profile players, High profile players put bums in seats, How many more season tickets would we have sold if IL had managed to get Thurston for one season, I reckon it would have been a good amountshaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 5:14 pm

Current MOS, current international prop, and a flyer what looks like he could be anything.
I agree 100% with SEFC, people should stop whining and start turning up at the turnstiles. IFL has done his bit, it’s time for our so called fans to do theirs.
