“Lets talk about Rugby to avoid our own problems”.
Why are your crowds so WAFC? Simple. Hardly anyone gives a toss about the Latics, and those that do are rapidly waking up and smelling the coffee.
You may survive in the Premiership – actually as a Wiganer I really hope you do, but you will never flourish. The best you can hope for is mid-table obscurity, and that is never going to have the crowds flocking in. You sell players at a profit, which may seem good business but it stinks of a lack of ambition. Take Cattermole for example – he signed for a club who finished below you last season, and have not finished higher than you since both clubs were promoted in 2004/05, yet they ooze ambition.
Next up at home – West Ham, then Chelsea & Man City. Thank goodness they all have a big away following to keep the crowd level above 15K, however come 7 November, unless uncle Dave comes up with 5000 freebies, we could be looking at a sub-11K attendance when Fulham roll into town.
