The crowds have dropped because people are not getting value for money.
A family of 3 could go for a day out, have a meal and get a few beers to drink at home for the price of tickets to watch a boring pathetic performance by a bunch of overpaid average joes.
People are spending their money more wisely.
For the last few years, Wigan performances in general over the whole season have been really poor.
The biggest challenge once we get shut of Wane and his cronies is getting those fans back.
The new coach needs to be from the Maguire mould.
Funny thing is, once Wane announced he was going, the first thing the Missus said to me was, we may be able to start going again next year.
For me the whole “Cup Magic” has been lost since it was stupidly moved to August. The whole excitement of having the final in May was that fans never lost the cup feeling, games were quick and fast. The CC must be moved back to May the Magic Weekend pushed back;
End of May BH; Challenge Cup Final
Early July; Magic Weekend
August; International Weekend(s) or the return of Lancashire v Yorkshire
September - October; GF run in
November; Internationals
IMHO that’s a better programme for fans and ensures that the excitement is never really lost.
...it wouldn't have if Wigan was still in it.
I've been holding out for a Warrington vs Wigan CC for years.
We can't seem to read the same script when we get the chance.
Anyways it's about time someone gave Saints a stuffing at Wembley.
They'll be little gloss lost in a Wire vs Saints final for me.
But yes I think we need to bring the final forward a couple of weeks before the football season starts.
