The Virtual Terrace • Cheap Tickets:World ClubChallenge
Good to see that Wigan appear on course to achieve a better crowd that the WCC in 2017 against Cronulla.
Wigan's decline in crowds over recent years has been a cause from concern, dropping from around an average of 16-17,000 in 2010 and 2011 to around 11,000 by 2018. Personally, I suspect the tedious nature of Wane's tactics contributed heavily to this as Wigan have been successful on the field in this period.
But I've never understood why some fans seem to take pleasure in their rivals getting lower crowds. As a Saints fans, I didn't enjoy seeing only 11,000 at the DW last week for the Leeds match, but I guess that many fans will have decided to go to this game instead .
Maybe moving the WCC back to the curtain raiser for the season is a better idea? Here's hoping for at least 22,000 in anyway.
