I think the 2002 Steve Anderson season was worse than 2023 and on a par with 2022.


Yes I can see that but there was expectation with Powell and just never remember being THAT frustrated during the Anderson debacle.

Was it Anderson who brought the underwhelming Aussies over ?

I didn't bother going at all last season due to poor vision, meaning i miss a lot of what happens on the pitch ,which i can see on tv & mobility issues getting to & from the ground & climbing the terraces. I love standing to watch the match & can't do with the horrible plastic seats with people squeezing past every few minutes.

We have come a long way from 2002 and expectations went up, least that’s how I see it. This is a club with a decent stadium good facilities and good finances so for me we should have won the big prize by now.

Now after the Powell debacle and what the club is doing with appointing a DoR and putting more in to the academy I think we are now on the right track. We just need show some patience as this is not an overnight thing, just hope we don’t fall back in to old ways.

We wasn’t dealt a particularly good hand of derby loop fixtures and Saints were so poor their travelling numbers were about half.

Don't die with the music in you

Plus, didn't I read somewhere that our tickets are priced dearer than most? (Or am I making that up?)

We have quite a few fans who are Wigan season ticket holders so I'm ot necessarily surprised they don't make it to Wire home games.

It would be interesting to see how many Thursday night games we had compared to other clubs. I seem to remember attending a few with a pretty sparse south stand, obviously missing the kids.

We had 2 home games on a Thursday night ... Hull KR and Leeds. Both teams usually travel with biggish numbers so to play them on a Thursday must have hit us hard.

Thursday nights games should have a bigger sky premium to the club affected and perhaps look at derby’ish fixtures, although it’s probably relative anyway. A derby may still have a significantly greater attendance on a Friday or weekend day time than Thursday,
Perhaps affecting attendance more so.

It which case, I’ve just written a pointless post. And not the first time.
