All fans should be welcome, no matter how many, how few or which games they go to.

Only in Wigan.

It maybe that the extra ST holders this year were regular walk-up fans anyway thus not increasing the att THAT much, id say if we have a season like last then our average att will be around the 16-16.6K thus increasing the average by around 1K.

Great stuff

As a new season ticket holder I would have had one last year had I not been living in Germany, and before then if I had had the money.

well done wigan, with wigan now back as the top team and playing really good rugby could we see crowds of 16/17k plus crowds

Great to continue the upward trend - the club has been going in the right direction in this department since all the way back to 2003. Hopefully we may even be able to break 11k for the first time.

What you couldn't just fly in for home matches?

We were getting those crowds in 2006 when we were cack!!

There was a time when I got my first season ticket, that was probably about 1986 and I've had one ever since, welcome them with open arms and if you're lucky they'll stay, make them feel unwelcome and your future starts to look a little less rosy.

Good decision to all the extra season ticket holders! I'll be getting the girlfriend a half one when the time comes as she cannot be coaxed out until the sun is a bit higher in the sky.

Welcome to the DW those who got a S.T. Hopefully will be a winning season for all the newbies to celebrate.

Do we think Ian Lenegan's dream of a 20k average is possible?

Not quite yet, but I think that average would rely on decent away support like the wendyballers have

If I'd had the money too!

Well why would IL say if if he didnt think we could acheive the 20k figure as he knows away support in SL is very low compared with wendyball, i think its acheiveable if we win a few more trophies in the next few years.

That's a great effort in tough economic times. Wigan also have a sensible pricing policy which helps. Maybe other clubs could learn something from this.

If it makes the ground feel more like home I'm not botherd how many we have at it

They seem to hold the price as well,think i kicked off last year there cos they put the price up by a quid for the first time in several seasons,like you say other clubs should take note!!Reduce the price and get a stadium that is nigh on full every other week,better than it being half empty every other week!!!

Really wanted to return to ST's this year but the OH simply hasn't the money so it's week by week again this year for us (despite the fact that we never miss a game).

When we calculated it, neither of us save all that much by having a ST against paying week by week.

Well done on 10k though

Don't have one myself due to work commitments and living away but will definitely make sure I make it to at least 9-10 games.



I think the prices went up quite significantly this year in some areas.

Its a great achievement, especially since the prices went up, maybe by 2 quid a game in the southstand IIRC! We all start somewhere and some will stay, some will go, only an idiot would be unhappy about an incraese in support - and hopefully another nail in the latics coffin (apologies to conroy

) Roll on St George!!

Well I don't think they will come on the back of failure! I reckon most new season ticket holders will be fans who came fairly regularly anyway and decided to go the whole hog this season. If that is on the back of last seasons success then so what?

I also think the way the team played last year and the way it was coached will have really appealed to fans who remember the Lowe/Monie years not for the success but for the attitude, approach to the game and the style of Rugby played.

Playing attractive Rugby and being successful is much more likely to put bums on seats than what we witnessed in the preceding few years.

Spot on Dave....

They've only come to see the Champions

To be fair I think quite a few did just that and rallied behind the club when we were struggling in 2006. I know a few at least.

That was a very strange, but superb season (well the ending was). I said at the time that success would mean so much more to us when it finally arrived having gone through that and boy did it.
