Apart from Chelsea on 18 August.
Cracking result for you guys today by the way…. :lol: :lol: :lol:
More importantly, look at the growth in our attendances over the years.Bloody fantastic, as it happens. No other club’s support has grown so much. What? From the 1400 or so we got in 1995? Brilliant.
Wigan v Cockney Cheats March 2009 – 14169
Wigan v Cockney Cheats Sep 2009 – 17142
Almost a 21% increase in just 6 months.
(But lets not mention the overall downturn, or the missing 3400 from the season before’s fixture (20525) as that tells a different story)5:25 | 15 Silver Wind (S De Sousa, 12-1 ); 18 Hotham (P Pickard, 20-1 ); 8 Atlantic Story (G Gibbons, 9-1 ); 7 Sunrise Safari (P Hanagan, 14-1 ); 20 ran. 6 Hamoody (J Fortune, 8-1 joint-2nd-fav); 16 Rasaman (D Tudhope, 15-2 fav); 13 Tagula Night (S W Kelly, 8-1 joint-2nd-fav)
Hopefully none of you spunked your hard-earned cash on this Tip.
Bad thing this recession businessIt is. Folk have better things to spend their money on than sporting events – particularly when the fate of both sides is already sorted.
Prices need to be cut to attract people back – some of these bean-counters need to grasp that not only does 23000 at £10/£5 generate as much, if not more money as 12000 does at £16/£11, but it also creates a more intimidating atmosphere for the visiting side, meaning more home victories and a higher league placing, more success and more income generated. The Warriors v Leeds game being a prime example of what happens when you cut your prices to an acceptable level in today’s economic climate.
Aye , it’s been a bad summerWell, my 2 weeks’ holiday have just finished and it only rained once – and luckily we were in the London Science Museum all day!
Memories include that controversial game V Sunderland, where the fans were doing mudslides, and the kick off in the tunnel afterwards, due to a late Steve Senior equaliser.I particulary remember the Stockport FA Cup game, when they had that garish yellow and blue ‘flecked’ shirt. We beat them 2-0, and me and my dad got legged down Douglas Bank Drive by about 12 Stockport after the game.
Then they brought Kenny Swain in, for the 1993-94 season. The highlight was that 6-3 v Chester when Gillespie scored two crackers. Apart from that, it was dire.
A very interesting read. I’ve picked out three bits that stand out for me.
Firstly that game in March 1988 – God it was wet that day! But the Mudsliders to the chant of “Eddie, Eddie” was the single most funniest experience at a football game ever. Fact.
The game against Chester was one I popped to whilst visiting my parents. That tricky winger caught my eye as he was head & shoulders above everything else on the pitch. I seriously considered writing to Terry Butcher, the then Sunderland manager to tell him to get his scouts down and sign the lad pronto, then I read the report in the Sunday papers which talked about “Keith Gillespie, the on-loan player from MAN UTD”. That explained it all and my letter to Mr Butcher never got written!!
Finally, if you’d legged it down Ingram St, you would have saved yourself valuable time in your dash to your car!!!!
Christ on a Bike, you cannot do that….
Rule No 1. Always always bring Rugby up when talking about WAFC Attendances.
Rule No 2. Go back to rule No 1 and try again.
i like it mutty dog how you conveniently forgot that if it was not for dw the rugby team would have gone tits up as well!FFS, why do you have to bring rugby into it?
Whelan has personally bought your club a place at the biggest football party on earth for the last 5 years – the bloke should have a statue built outside the ground, and have a stand named after him when he pops his clogs.
If it wasnt for him, you’d either still be playing the likes of Torquay & Gillingham, or even worse, nobody.

Are you back then,[/quote]
Somebody unbanned him after i fired him off!!!!!!!!!![/quote]
Why would I be banned? I dont start troll threads on rugby and I certainly dont call former WRLFC Players Paedophiles – neither of those categories seem to attract bans on here.
And 2004 was not 7 years ago when rugby crowds were consistently higher.
Whelan has proved that a rich benefactor can take a two-bit nothing club from the bottom rung to the top tier of english football.
Unfortunately, it takes either a seriously rich benefactor (which he isnt), or a massive increase in revenue via ticket sales & merchandise (which clearly isnt going to happen) to stay there and become a regular top half side. Unfortunately for you, thats where the brick wall is. Whelan isnt a billionaire and these days, a club with only 12000 supporters needs a billionaire pumping in £50-100m per season to realise that dream.

Next home game I will throw my season ticket at Whelan and I hope he chokes on it, he aint taking the ++++ out me anymore. A premiership club run more like a non league club. Transfer deadline and despite being so painfully obvious the signings we need, we dont just not get any we let two go.
Close on £50million in players sold and we end up with Rodallega up front with King and Scotland for cover.
And the stupid old clown wonders why attendances are dwindling, well it dwindles one more after the next home match. Until that greedy selfish git is gone, I stay away. :xWhy not just stick it in the post (without a stamp) and save yourself the hassle of going to the ground.
There’s not a cat in hell’s chance that you’d go down as a joke. That is exclusively reserved for Derby. (Thankyou Mr Jewell!!!).
However I disagree about your comparison to Bolton & Blackburn. When they went down they had a true fan base in excess of 15,000, whereas your fanbase would collapse if you were relegated.
Fortunately, despite you being a selling club, there are plenty worse sides this season, so it would take something catastrophic to happen if you went down this year.
