Rugby clubs in general see marketing as an expense and not as an investment, last night shows how a bit of investment pays off.

Considering Wigan's number of ST holders the much shouted about £10 ticket didn't cost that much to the club relatively and more than likely gave a nice pay back in total.

That is so true! Went up town straight after the game last night and the pubs were buzzing with people chatting about the game. Met a couple of old mates who I'd forgotten even supported Wigan, was their first game for years (some who had season tickets in the past).

It's been a while since I've heard so many cars pipping their horns driving away from Robin Park and singing outside the ground too



Well done to the club.

I'm a ST holder and I don't care if they put that offer on again for Wire as its worth it for the atmosphere and the buzz! I'm buzzing all weekend now so its worth losing a tenner on the ST!

the crowds will only be big in future if the club does the same reduced rate again overwise 12,000 a game will be a max

What I would be really interested to know is the difference in revenue between the game on Friday and what it would have been with normal prices.

I would guess at a crowd of around 14,000 for a match against Leeds in normal circumstances. And obviously around 10,000 of that number would already have paid through season tickets.

I can't help but wonder whether the extra revenue from the other 6,000 spectators on Friday would justify repeating it more regularly.

You have a long track-record of posting uninformed rubbish, but this one takes the biscuit.

You never heard the phrase 'speculating to accumulate'. It's a tried and tested formula for business growth. Just think about it for a while.
