Its nothing to do with Noble. FFS



Play offs are poorly attended until the final eliminator.

If the RFL made every ticket £5 the grounds would sell out.

=redNO NEED. Pemps I didn't turn up and I'm not ashamed in the slightest! Both me and my wife work 2 jobs each to try and make ends meet, but when an extra game in the playoffs cost £32 for me and her to go it just isn't going to happen,

I have a WRL number plate on my car and have barely missed a game this season, I am as passionate about wigan RL as I have ever been but I am anything but ashamed about not going tonight.

=redCut out the personal abuse. Pemps

the fan that pays week in week out?

whats do you think a season ticket holder does?..plum

you wont get to old trafford being average

Sunday night is a rotten slot for a game.

Although as has been said the attendances are down across the board.

Tickets should be discounted for season ticket holders or play off games included in the season ticket price.

I also think Wigan/Leeds Andy has a good point. Rugby League fans moan about how the game is not taken seriously by the media, etc, but seem to go missing when there is actually a big occasion to turn out for.

Us two season tickets holders turned up last night and didn't watch Utd or Chelsea earlier.
We are average at best and our best is that we can make semi finals. We are nowhere near a finals team yet. Noble has taken us from a relegation team to a semis team.
Last night's performance was again average and Cas played above themselves. Ian Smith probably had the worst game of his career which affected the game. Again the crowd's frustration was shown by the chant of "We want Ganson". I wasn't sure whether inconsistent decisions led to inconsistent play or the other way round.
I thought the low crowd was worrying as Cas brought a very good following with them. If there were 1800 Cas fans then only 7000 Wiganers turned up. As has been said fans are not buying into the play offs.
The main worry must be the RFL's but IL can't be too happy about it. Neither can the other club chairmen either.
Let's see if they do anything about it!

and a better result

I was disapointed with the Wigan turnout to be honest. None of the regulars who sit near us turned up. With the great support Cas brought we should have had at least 12k on with a half decent Wigan crowd. But as has been said, Sunday night is bobbins for rugby league. Glad there'll be no more of that for the rest of the year though. Hopefully we'll fill out the temp-stand at KR next weekend.

I have said for years now that the play off home games should be included in the season ticket...

It's a dear do. Cost me £38 before we even got up the steps.

They should imo.

If your side doesn't make the play offs or get a home tie you'd have some people whinging but there you go.

Something needs to be done because the crowds this weekend have been embarrassing.

Tomkins is Praising Wane in todays Express

IMO Wane would be the players pick

Well done you.



It was never going to be a massive crowd - Cas are not a crowd-pulling team, tickets have to be paid for and it was 7pm on a Sunday night, which although fine for me is useless for anyone with a family and/or living outside Wigan.

The club could look at some sort of season ticket offer in future whereby if you pay an extra £10 or something on top of your normal season ticket price, you get entry into any play-off home games but I guess it's pretty difficult to judge at the start of the season. Not many would want to pay when they don't know whether there's going to [ibe [/iany home games, and financially it wouldn't be viable for the club to allow season ticket holders free entry into home play-offs.

wrong topic

I made it from Chester with my son - what a hero eh

. The thing is he is 15 not 5 so getting back late wasn't a big deal. He enjoyed waving at the Cas supporters coaches we passed on the M6 as they headed for the M62 as well! We got back about ten past ten after the obligatory stop at Tesco Extra for supplies.

Cost us £20 for the tickets after discounts and the £2 booking fee (which is something else that penalises far flung fans who can't by locally).

As to paying for the play offs, I was under the impression all gate receipts from all matches were pooled into a big pot divided equally amongst the participating teams so if that is correct it would make it impossible to offer the matches included in the season ticket price. If I am wrong then I think they should be included.

I agree with IL when he said we need to bring local talent through at the forum but i feel he needs at least one big signing not only to bolster the playing roster but to put bums on seats for next season.

He showed everyone at the forum the singings we have made year on year becoming less and less but surely those few signings need to be quality purchases.

I'm not ashamed, couldn't go due to work and I know others who couldn't go who are away on holiday who have been going all year like myself both home and away. Should they be ashamed aswell?

Unsurprisingly (

) I agree.

I couldn't help thinking last night that the Wigan and Cas teams that contested the same fixture 10 years ago would have beaten the teams playing last night quite comfortably, but hey, thats "progress" for you....

I think, nay know, that they pay once, up front. Its not hard to work out the difference.........plum.

so do you go every game and pay every game weekly? like the season ticket holders do?

You know full well what he's saying. Stop be antagonistic.

let him say it then....doesnt need to hide behind you?

He knows what im saying too!

wouldnt work imo.

they would have to incorporate any possible home play off games in the overall price on assumption that we could have possibly 3 home games.
we can hardly expect 3 freebies.

and if we didnt make the top 6 people would moan about the season ticket prices.

right way to go is to reduce the prices for season ticket holders to half price.
wouldnt make a difference to pay on the day speccies.
