Had a season ticket every year that we have been at the HJ and some seasons at Wilderspool before that. Went several seasons at Wilderspool without a season ticket as I was living down south and could only get to a handful of games per season. Midway through this season I changed jobs and my new days/hours meant I could no longer get to Thursday, Friday or Saturday games hence I managed to get to less than half our home games and none in the second half of the season.

I have recently changed my hours thinking ahead to next season meaning I will be able to attend Friday or Sunday games, but unless I can swap shifts around Thursday (possible) and Saturday (almost impossible) will be missed. Knowing my luck, the club will continue with the Saturday game slot!

I won't be buying a season ticket for the first time in many years.

Anyway the point wan't to debate the ins/out of the TV deal, but to look at the contribution of matchdays takings compared to TV money, where, even for a well supported club such as Wires they are reasonably comparable.

Hence without the TV deal we'd have to double our attendance, and I guess that the percentage of fans who don't attend because of the TV is easily offset by the TV income.

Thanks for the figures. Yeah a 10% drop in attendance isn't going to worry us.

If they paid me I would not step foot in the ground again. The club is a joke, so many people I know have been treated bad by the club one way or another and people have long memory's.

Well you don’t see Nigel Wood looking hungry do you

I know. There is chubby, portly, rotund, podgy, fat, obese and there is Wood like. No need for anyone to be that overweight, shows a lack of discipline.
