If anybody saw the tvs under the stand last night the way we buy our season ticket is changing as it looks like they are being renamed season memberships i dont know why hopfully someone on here could know the answer.

I'll take a punt and reckon they'll do exactly the the same as they do now.

I bet they'll do something a little bit different, cost slightly more.

cost more........get less for your money.....lol

How can they justify an increase when the players wages ( The SC) havnt gone up in 10 years.

Because that only amounts to about half our costs.

Non playing staff increases in size year on year. (Coley added to coaching team this year - South Wales..etc)
Investment in South Wales / Central Park.
Cost of upkeep for facilities at Orrell.

There's a start.

Yes all them things above but what people see is 13 home games costing more and more and will drive people away from the game we have to be carefull as a game as attandances are down apart from Wakefield and saints.

You could argue that people have got a better product on the pitch compared to 2005/6

You could argue equally well that the entire sport is going down the pan. Personally, I didn't get a season ticket this year and expect to watch even fewer games next year. Never thought I'd see the day.....

When I was twiddling my thumbs at the game last night, I had a similar thought regarding next season.

Your wages presumably go up every year too.....

Definitly true and I think that is something the RFL need to seriously do something about. From a Wigan standpoint though, I've enjoyed going to the game a lot more the past few years than I did in early 2006.

Its so boring now though. Only going out of habit and the fact that i have a season ticket.

And to be honest if i had to pay for that, i probably would have gone to about 4 games this season.

its as bad a competition as i can remember. at least half of the teams are pointless in terms of what they offer to the sport/comp.

Are we now victims of our own recent success?

Does it now get boring winning the majority of our games by a highish margin?

In the Noble era our last performance would have been considered a highlight of the season. Now people are calling it scrappy, a poor performance and boring?

Salford are a good side and made them look like Pats 3rd team. We seem to have stopped praising our ability to shut teams down.

This happens at all clubs that are winning every week. You get used to a certain level of flair and a good scoreline, and get a little bit spoiled.

I disagree with that last bit - Salford are not a good side by any stretch of the imagination. We won that game with a 55% completion rate (theirs was actually better), and that performance of ours would not have beaten a good side.

There's never a good time to complain is there? If you comment when losing its because you are losing and yet you are spoiled if you comment when winning. I apologise for derailing the thread but I could go on forever. We slaughtered Salford with a mixture of dropped balls and incomplete sets. That's indicative of the level of the comp. Add to that refs performances, dissatisfaction re GF winners v LLS Winners being champs, pathetic safety first unnecessary rule changes yadda yadda and you would begin to get a picture of my dissatisfaction.

On Boots n all, the stats Phil Clarke gave out for us were abysmal. Had we played anyone half decent, we'd have been whacked good and proper. As for the comp in general, the standard seems to be dropping every week.

Salford are not a good side to be honest. there are maybe 3/4 in the league who are "good".

For me its not to do with how good we are. honestly i dont think we are that good. its more of terrible most of the other teams are.

some of the games at home this year (pick my games away) have been so instantley forgetable its worrying. Its mostly due to the week to week rounds pretty much being useless as too many teams can make the playoffs. get it back to 5 and make the rounds mean something and encourage the teams to be at least competative.

The standard of the overall competition has gone down. If Super League was supoosed to evolve into a competition where any of the teams would be capable of winning the top prize then it has failed miserably. The short sighted idea of increasing the play offs to top eight to "force" ore teams into the mix is just an embarrassment. I don't know what the answer is; maybe reduce the number of teams in the league? But at the moment there's only four teams that can offer any value. If you support one of those four teams you get three home games per seasaon that generate any level of excitement/ enthusiasm.

The standard is poor and is only going to get worse as fewer quality overseas players come to SL.

All Wigan can do is concentrate on our youth development and try to unearth more stars like Sam to bring some excitement to an increasingly dull and low quality SL.

I have never bought a season ticket, even though i think there are plenty of benefits I dont want to commit to all the games, especially when there are non-contests.

I have a season ticket, Im not sure there are any real benefits to be honest.

The small cost saving is offset by the fact that you have to pay 4 months in advance for the best deal, plus you cant take advantage of any deals (eg The Big One) throughout the season

Fixture changes that mean you cant make the game cannot be refunded

Final tickets (should we get to any) can be bought from the RFL without queing

Not sure I will bother again
