People do go watching Wigan regardless of price but when things aren't going well then people start to think that their money would be better spent elsewhere.
I used to go to away games but I don't go to many now purely because I'd rather spend a Sunday afternoon with my wife and kids.
I'll probably not go to the semi or the final but I'll tell everyone I did go.

| Quote ="LordLoveRocket87"I know i've posted this on another thread, but I wanted to see what the replies would be...
Tell me why, all you people who say 'I won't be going to Hull KR this weekend...' are still going to the Warrington game? Is it just because it's a semi final? I mean, as far as i'm concerned, if your a fan who goes to every away game, and is loyal to the club etc. then why give up on going to this Sundays game yet not on the semi? If your not willing to support the club in a league match then why go to the Wire game? Or are you someone who just supports Wigan when there's a possible final?
Don't get me wrong, I don't blame anyone... The performance against Celtic was disgusting, no pride in the shirt, and if the team can't be bothered to turn up then why should the fans... All i'm asking is why they are willing to give up their support for a league game against KR yet still go the Semi against Warrington? Doesn't make sense that's all
'"
Im not going against Hull, as my sister who i go to games with, has just had twins, and doesnt want to leave them for around 10 hours.
I have my ticket for the semi final, and we are only going as they will be that little bit older, and she doesnt feel that bad about leaving them for a couple of hours.
This is the reason i not been to any away games this year, which is a first for us both.
Does that let me off?

| I was undecided about going to HKR although the tickets were bought weeks ago. It's a long journey coast to coast, 300 mile round trip.
The two of us will be going though. After this weeks events I want to go there and show the team that we will support them although the game is on TV, there's a fair old cost, a late night arriving home and work Monday morning.
In the adversity which has happened to the team I hope it's galvanised them into putting on a top class performance and coming home with a win.
We all backed them in 2006 and they didn't let us down, time to back them again!

Its taken me 4 to get to Leeds in the past ! Traffic is a wh0re.
The reason I'm not going to Hull is - it just isn't worth it. You don't have to go to every game to be a fan, thats just being an addict/elitist. I go because I usually enjoy it, and we tend to have better games when they are more important. I'm going to Widnes, and I am looking forward to t, but I cannot see the point in going to Hull.

What is the point of this thread?, apart from you trying to prove that you are the Alpha fan for going to Uull.
Boring and self indulgent at the very least.
PS see you there!!

| Not going tomorrow. Im working and will get home just in time to watch it on TV.
The sad thing is, I've been watching Wigan since I was 5, and in the 20 years of watching, Ive never ever been less excited by the thought of rugby than I am currently, and I include the great escape in that.

| tbh the main reason im not going is because of sky and their stupid schedules.
It would probably still be worth the £20 a ticket / £20 in petrol or coach to get there/ £20-£40 on food and drink (depending if driving) etc. if it had been a sat night or even sunday afternoon game......but to be leaving hull at 8.30 on a sunday night, with work mon morning, and with the current dross wigan are turning out....id rather leave it and watch it on sky especially when im skint!
If the game was scheduled decently, or I at least knew I was going to see some rugby that would actually exite me or be at least pleasurable to watch...I would prob find the money somehow and leave myself short like i have done in the past....but ill get no ascertainable pleasure from watching what will probably be a drab game of rugby, with half of our so called team still hung over from their great midseason holiday week off on the ale and then to cop it all have to do a two hour drive home rather than chilling out on sunday night!!

More or less sums up how I feel too. The value for money/enjoyment watching Wigan has dropped dramatically.
Will still be going to Widnes, Stains, Cas, Hudds, [size=59Wembley[/size
