You cannot complain now. That is a mirror on the situation of the club at the minute.

Time to get behind them.
And whoever the feck is ringing the ticket office and giving the staff their poop wants to hang their heads in shame!!

That really bugs me I have to say. People too thick or self-entitled to realise who or what is really at fault. They need to get over themselves.

Very glad the details are out. Enjoyed reading both articles.

There are always some who, whenever there is a vague sense of dissatisfaction with the club, take it as an invite to go open season on everyone involved with Wigan RL.

Are they real Wigan fans? Most probably think they are.

Apparently, Lam and the two female administration members of the club staff who have been with the club for many years were subjected to all kinds of disgusting abuse, which included foul mouth language.

What kind of supporter is the club and the game attracting these days?

I would like to thank Ian and Kris for releasing he blog. They’ve either listened to the frustrations of many or intended to do it anyway, if the latter it would have saved a whole lot of angst if they’d stayed it would be released in due course.

I like the bit about free streaming hoping to build it into something to generate money

Those forum minutes are embarrassing, no wonder they didn’t want anyone there.

I’d be very worried if I were a Wigan fan, seems a very amateurish setup indeed with people well out of their depth.

In what way?

Whilst I'm currently not liking the way IL and KR are running the club, I don't think I'd ever say they were out of their depth. They've had plenty of success at the club and whilst, you being in the mist of a rosy period at your club, might be clouding your judgment slightly, we all now success is a cycle. They are no more out of their depth than McManus was 6 years ago.

If it's from a Marketing POV then I 100% agree.

The good news however is the club know this and are looking to bring in a Marketing Director in. I'll admit I have concerns tho. IL doesn't seem to get Marketing/PR & if the new person can't sway him, or change his approach then it's a non-starter. I work in Marketing and I've seen plenty of boards and owners who just don't get it. The best firms, imo, are the ones where the Marketing Director has a real voice on the board. We had that with Simon Collinson and I do think he had the pull and power to coax IL into being more open.

Yeah, sure.

We were grand finalists last year (again!), we're fourth this year despite all the chaos and injuries.

It's the end of the world for Wigan RL.
