| KR brought just shy of 2k according to Bilko on here the other day.
The weather will have knocked at least 2k off imo because it was truely awful but the crowds overall have been a slight worry.
I'd expect them to improve towards the back end of the year though with us now looking like a decent team and a couple of big games against Leeds and Wire to come.

| It was inevitable that the crowds were going to start tailing off if Wigan consistantly failed to improve. The fans have done their bit, following the team loyally through dreadful times. But Wigan fans have a pedigree - they won't accept a permanent slot in the lower half of the table.
The club really has its work cut out now. A handful of wins are not good enough. We have to recruit - in terms of both coaching personnel and playing personnel, to a standard that proves we are deadly serious about trying to regain our crown.

Definately.
We attracted a lot of fickle fans and luckily they have disappeared for now. No doubt they will return when we start winning or they get free tickets.

Why is it lucky they've disappeared? Any fan, fickle or not, puts money into the club.

There was something to play for. Now we just appear to be a mid table team.

| We are also going through a recession, so it will be harder for families to afford to go a game.
If our family of four, wanted to go to the KR game on Friday it would of cost at least £100.

| Probably because fighting against relegation was, in it's own way, exciting. What a lot of people won't accept and will stop going to games for is mediocrity, mid-table poor RL will not pull in the fans, neither will win a game lose a game runs.
Given the poor start to this season and some of the poor RL on offer it is hardly surprising that fans numbers are down. I suspect a decent winning run might get the average back up a little but I think some fans are voting with their feet at the moment.

That included tickets and petrol, and then on top of that trying to get time off work is hard too.
Especially sometimes if the game is on tv. It is much easier to watch it on tv with a few cans and save yourself some money.

I undertsand what you're saying but if nobody is buying shirts anymore they have to do something to ignite interest in them. Even JJB are selling them now.

| I think our crowds are holding up actually. Maybe slightly down but considering the play off debarcle last year, which annoyed many, and the financial struggles at the moment we are holding up.
At the moment the average is 14,100 which is 2.8% Down. They are making a big effort for the Leeds match and also Warrington come here in August so if we can get anywhere around 14,000 I think that will be a great achievement.

No you're right it isn't. But as soon as a game comes up that isn't on a Friday night then I'll be there.

If both us and Warrington can string some good wins together, then Warrington at home could get 20,000+

I think you're right, and that people should be applauded for this. But the onus is definitely now on the club to send out the right signals. There is a real worry in the air that mid-table mediocrity is our new home, and Wigan fans bred on success will not pay to experience that, as we saw in the 1970s when the crowds dwindled alarmingly - at some games then there were only about 4,000 on.
Wigan need to give some clear signal that this current level of football is unacceptable, and appointing a coach who is not satisfied with second best and who has the ability to kickstart a real revival is the most obvious way.

Yeah but the cup may have a lot to say in that. If either side progress the cup semis would be week before the match and if either side progress further the week prior will be spent getting cup final tickets.

| Should also point out we haven't had a under 10,000 league crowd since 2005. Everyone else bar Leeds will have had plenty of those. It wasn't too long before that when 8,500ish crowds were regular at the JJB.

So long as we sell in excess of 10,000 season Tickets we will never have an offical arttendance less than 10,000 as we (and other clubs?) count "tickets sold" (incuding season tickets) rather than attendance at the game.

I don't think we sold 10,000 season tickets this season.

| The season we averaged over 16k Saints and Wire both played twice at the JJB. That would make quite a difference to the overall figure.
There has been some lousy weather too for our home games, like last Friday. That's bound to affect the walk up when there's a game on TV at home or in the pub.
Considering the number of home losses I think the crowds have held up well. To continue and improve, the team does have to start winning and we must climb the League table.

| Don't forget we have only won TWO games at home, and one of them was Celtic.
Poor fare and people will vote with their feet.

Was about to post the exact same thing. I know plenty of 'casual supporters' who arne't coming at the moment. Win a few more, get into the top 6 and people will return. The same at almost any club in any sport.
