Their top price season ticket for a year of Premier League football is less than our cheapest. Something wrong here.

You've not been paying attention have you?

 

[blue and white army]

Have you seen how abysmal their attendances are for a Premier League game?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Well they never fill the JJB Stadium, and plus it is a Rugby League Town.

Either way, I still found it a startling comparison, especially bearing in mind some of the tripe we sat through last season...

If the TV money was shared as it was originally in a 4 division set up then we could afford to do it too.

I thought we lost a million a year playing at Withdean.

1. We are renting a stadium, we don't own it.
2. The club is fragmented, we are renting additional offices around the city
3. We don't get £40-£50m a year from Sky
4. Wigan fans don't get a travel voucher included (yes I KNOW not everyone uses it, but its still factored into the price)
5. We don't get £40-£50m a year from Sky.
6. We don't get £40-£50m a year from Sky.

What does your travel voucher entail?

What does your travel voucher entail?

Free travel from within the surrounding area on bus or train. It encompasses Seaford, Haywards Heath and I think Worthing.

Thats pretty good to be fair.

Only as far as Shoreham on the train, which means us Worthing boys have to hide in the toilets till we get in range.

Well they never fill the JJB Stadium.

While we are packed out at Withers week in, week out?

Oh this is a fun debate, we haven't had this in what, 3 days?

The main question has to be posed. Why would you want to watch Wigan in the first place ?
