shurrup griff, Sirdave knows his onions, I for one will never get sick of hearing how Wigan Athletic have overtook Wigan Worriors in every department.
Like I said in the title thread,..Rugby League is Mickey Mouse and long may it continue!Shows its on its arse’Worriors are named team of the year,cause they finished top?Warrington came 2nd,Won the Challenge Cup,and chance of the being the playoff champs,surely they should be Team of the year.If i was a Warrington fan, i would be gutted.
Christ, another one giving up :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:As the title suggests I am not happy with our game at the moment. I know i will probably get people questioning how I am not a “loyal fan for issues I raise. But I am not going to go on about how many years season tickets’ i have bought or how many people I have brought to the DW commercially.
Other than the essence of being a loyal fan and supporting the club I have lived with, I am trying to decide why should i buy a 2013 season ticket???
As we all know, the salary cap forces who we bring in and get rid of at the club. The Oz cap is so much higher, I believe around 3 times that of the UK SL. I didn’t mind the odd one like Morley when he was in his pomp, but now together with Union, the NRL are taking players that are average or even youngsters. This is because they will earn more playing in the reserve grade in the NRL. Players such as Tom Burgess and this week wigans own Matty Russell.
I saw Chris Ashton, Joel Tomkins, Owen Farrell etc. And couldn’t help thinking they are Wigan players who should be earning a living in our game. I also think they would be if the money matched up.
I also do not think the salary cap has evened it up. Every cup will be won by us saints, Leeds or wire. We need to get rid of the salary cap and pay players a fair wage.
Due to this cap I believe all teams now have to have a lot of average players in their teams. If you look at Wigans recruitment for 2013.. Matty Smith, Blake Green, possibly Scott Taylor. To replace Tommy Leuluai, Brett Finch and Jeff Lima. With respect to those players there is a gulf in class difference and experience.
Yet still we as fans are expected to pay around the 200 quid mark for a season ticket. Which works out about 16 quid for 13 games. What benefits do season ticket holders have over the occasional fan who comes out for a big game or finals???
Not much in price, maybe 2-3 quid a game. A half price Magic weekend ticket?? I am not really bothered about that. If we reach the cup final at Wembley, all the best tickets go on the rfl website to people who are not at the semi final.
Then there is the fact that the regular season is 27 pre season friendlies. 5 teams at the bottom of the league are at a very poor standard. Even the big games v wire, saints and leeds do not really matter. An 8 team playoff system is ridiculous in a 14 team comp where we can predict the top 7 teams each year. That being the big 4 n Hull and Catalan and Huddersfield.
I have read millions of theories, but I believe a 12 team comp with a top 5 system would be best. Some where in that 1 v 2 and winner is straight in Grand Final. I would also bring back promotion and relegation.
I am writing this as im upset that the game I love has come to this and I know the majority of fans feel the same. This has nothing to do with Wigan not winning a trophy as I have spoke to many fans from other clubs who feel the same.
My last point is to start where i began and ask the question why should any fan fork out 200 quid for a season ticket next year other than loyality. I do not believe you get any worthwhile benefits and I wouldn’t have to sit through us beating a poor team 40-0.
Thoughts???all this from a fan of the team that finished top!!!!!! just shows how much trouble their village game is actually in. They’ve not even sold out old trafford tomorrow for their big day out at a football stadium that we visit for standard league matches :ohmy: :ohmy:
depressing times ahead for the poor mans version of rugger union!
Sorry Sir Dave – but I lost the will to live part way through the second sentence.
