It's a tough gig at the moment and the on field displays have to take their toll on things as despite the SL title they have been at times dire, and consistently dull.

Like most events generating an atmosphere of like minded people getting excited/interested in an event tends to increase the enjoyment for everyone. Whilst the team really are not doing their bit I feel there are several gimmicks we could incorporate to get the place buzzing or at least slightly more atmospheric. Still can't believe we never cashed in on the Icelandic Clap that has now been picked up on by the Canberra Raiders to welcome the team on the field. It goes with the Warriors branding and really gets fans on their feet at every event I have been to.

Back to the original point however, people have to make a decision on how to spend their disposable income. The market is increasingly competitive, and paring with cash to watch 80 minutes of 1 out dull rugby is a hell of a tough sell despite the titles we currently hold.

Strange that it's Tommy L, FPN, Gelling that are getting a lot of criticism (Along with Sam T - Who could be classed as a Big name buy?) yet the same people are some of those who say they don't want to pay to watch Local Kids.

Back on Topic

Simon Collinson = Great Bloke.

When the "Flag Group" were getting things under way Simon was absolutely fantastic in organising and supporting us in everything we did.
There are so many stories I could tell you about him speaking to the RFL, other clubs and BBC/SKY to assist us.
He also organised Free WCC Tickets and Season Tickets (Forgot who won that

) for us to raffle and put towards new flags/displays etc.
He once told me around 2010/11 about the marketing ideas they had used from American Football etc. and a lot of the reasons why things are done in the way they are done which made a lot of sense to me as Joe Public.

Always gives a straight answer to a straight question and as far as I'm concerned will be a big loss to Wigan RLFC.

Good Luck Simon & hope you and the family have a Great Future!

Agree on all points.
The season ticket raffle winner, what a guy, gave it back to raffle again

He only gave it back as he gets a free one when he turned 100.

That'll be this season then.
