Wigan Today reporting that the club's average attendances have increased to 14,909 (up nearly 1,500) on last season. I think a lot of focus has been to bring in more youngsters over the last couple of seasons, whether that be through Rugby Camps, Amateur Clubs, Community...etc (as seen these last few games with a good few hundred kids on the pitch as the teams walk out, holding the club flag badges). Great idea as I'm sure it was calculated a few years ago that Wigan had the oldest average fanbase.
2024 - 14,909 2023 - 13,494 2022 - 12,278 2021 - 8,536 (impacted by the pandemic, with some games behind closed doors and limited attendances) 2020 - N/A 2019 - 11,700 2018 - 11,708 2017 - 13,189 (including Super 8s) 2016 - 13,499 (including Super 8s) 2015 - 13,911 (including Super 8s) 2014 - 14,101

Hopefully we'll get a decent turnout for the semi-final, it should in theory be way above the above average but this fixture always seems to be a hard sell

Just looked at the ticket sales and if the map can be believed it looks like we have sold more than 10k to date.

That average is really pleasing to see, particularly with the lower levels of away supporters seen at the games this year. Whilst it clearly shows a rise year on year, I wonder whether the same can be said about season tickets, where the number sold each year seems a very closely guarded secret.
