Wigan Warriors • Re: O/T Closing the North Stand

I personally don't have a season ticket, but do attend most games & often on my own. My mates, who I'd class as lapsed fans, have other commitments (kids etc) and when they are free, it's hard to persuade them them to part with £30 for a ticket for what's more often than not, a poor match.

There's 4 of us going tonight and the cheaper tickets made it an easier sell. I just hope it's better than the last time they came which was the Leeds £10 game. That almost killed off any hopes I had of them coming again.

I know this is a cliché and self-fulfilling prophecy, but the lack of stars really makes it hard to attract fans. Like many Wigan fans, I've seen the best of the best play and these guys just aren't that. Now I know that, as fans, if we don't support the club those levels become unobtainable - but who was the last big name we got from Australia? Burgess perhaps? I do miss the old big name Aussie like Lam, Renouf, Pat etc.
