those are kids who have paid around £23 for the whole season
But isn’t that the perfect definition of a growing fanbase?
Kids turn into adults and these aren’t giving allegiance to United or Liverpool.It is – as long as that fanbase is actually growing in a larger number than the adults who are sacking it off. I suspect that the kids of 2005/6 through to 2012/13 have been turning into adults who find something else to do on a Saturday afternoon.
As someone “ITK”, are you able to tell us how many the number of junior season ticket holders has grown by over the past 3, 4, or 5 years?
Gone from the hairs on the back of my neck standing up, to being very worried about the take over now I’ve read through all the crap, but we’ll see.

It isn’t just the product on the pitch that is needed to attract and retain fans, the club needs to be more and more active in the community and not just in Wigan.
We are never going to get adults to suddenly change their allegience, but Kids will change allegiance and follow their mates, and once they get hooked they will be Latics for life.
Good prices and a decent product will keep them hooked just like us lot.
Some of us oldies have watched some dross over the years, but we are still here, so there is no reason other can’t get hooked now the standard is better and the surroundings have improved.
