Average home gates are up by 2,000 compared to the 2 seasons we last spent in the Championship, or Division One and Championship just in case there are any pedants lurking! Therefore, that means that we still have 2,000 new fans or JCL’s as the ‘Goole Away’ contingent refer to them as!
A lot of people renewed their ST for this season on the back of a narrow play-off exit and an FA Cup semi-final defeat after a magnificent defence of the trophy. Even so, average crowds this season have slipped almost 20% to 12410 from last seasons’ 15176.
Even if you do stay up, what is there to persuade them to renew for next season?

Loyalty to our club, no matter what?

Latics crowds down 20%, Blackpool down 23%, Reading down 12%, Brighton down 7%.
No surprise with any of those and whether you consider season ticket holders or pay on the day isn’t it obvious what will bring people back?
Our attendances have actually held up better than I thought.

The mon who doesn’t care about attendances has been doing a bit of research on the subject :ohmy:

If you’re insinuating fickle fans Mutty, you really are skating on very thin ice, so seeing as you like figures so much.
Wigan RL Timeline:
* Between 1976 and 1984 the average attendance is 5,579
* Wigan RL win the challenge cup in 1984 and their ‘Golden Era’ begins
* Between 1984 and 1998 average attendance is 12,741 ( 139% increase)
* In 1999 Wigan RL win nothing for the first time in 15 years. The average attendance that season is 9,239 (27% decrease because they had the audacity not to win something)
* St Helens and Bradford dominate Super League 2000 – 2009. Average attendance is 12,768
* Wigan win Super League in 2010.
* Average attendance in the more successful 2010 – present era is 15,307 (20% increase)
Seems it’s not just a Latics thing after all.
Shock News !!
Spectators turn up for a team playing well, and having success.
Spectators walk away from team playing badly and getting battered.People work hard for their money and have the right to seek some value from what they spend

The 1999 attendance was due to it being the last season at Central Park and some fans boycotting.
Crowds at The DW were slow to pick up even though in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 we either won a trophy or reached a final.
Crowds increased from around the mid-point of 2006 when it looked like we would be relegated and have increased since. The average home (home fans only) gate is around 12000 but should rise this year with more big games involved.
Latics average home attendance has ranged from 15000 to 12000 recently and last year beat the rugby average by 1000.
Both clubs have their out of towners and both clubs have their Wigan born and breds.
Now back onto the topic…..
…I’ve been surprised at how strong our attendances have been considering the shit on show. Failing to sell out for tomorrow is a big indication that people are fed up though I think.
Still according to the official site over 2000 die hards making the trip though which aint bad considering
Still according to the official site over 2000 die hards making the trip though which aint bad consideringDefinitely not no.
Still according to the official site over 2000 die hards making the trip though which aint bad consideringIts a 40 mile trip to Blackpool FFS.
You make it sound like a pilgrimage to Mecca.
Facts are that a lot of the crowd are showing up for the tripe on offer because they bought their ST on the back of a relatively successful campaign last season. Now, if you could take off your Arsene-Wenger Rose-Tinted specs for a moment and consider the following:
Even if you stay up, what is there to persuade people to shell out for a ST next season?
(GL – As an HR Bod, think “Employee Engagement”, and exactly how long a company can rely on blind loyalty from its workforce whilst shafting them with T&C)

And yet is still further than most RL away games.

And quite a lot will have bought one because they’re a Wigan Athletic fan and don’t switch club at the first possibility. We’re slowly weeding the JCL’s and glory hunters out and will at the start of next season know our ‘hardcore’ support. I’ll bet this is higher than last time we were in the third tier.

40 mile trip or not an good turn out better than the chubbies took widnes tother week and that was an massive 20 miles eh Mutts keep on chomping :silly: :silly:
How come a fan of a City club in a football starved region is so obsessed with the crowds of a small town clubs crowds. Bloody four league clubs in the North East. Four league clubs from Northallerton to Berwick with many towns bigger than Wigan and none sell out. You lot should stick to beating up horses or slobbering around drunk in Blackpool blowing your own unillustrous trumpets or simply stick to darts or putting your drink and ferrets before your wives and kids. Benefit street on crack the North East. Oh by the way Muts Eggs are a big fish in a very small pond whilst Latics are a tadpole in an Ocean full of Sharks.Crack open a Tennant’s blue can when you’ve cashed your giro that I pay taxes for.
