Whatever happened to that Wigan Fan group chat of pre and post matches on Facebook? Was ran by a lad called Sean I think. Used to enjoy that.

Think I remember them saying they didn't have the time any more.

I had a quick listen to part of the new podcast today and it is very good. Podcasting has become huge over the last decade. I wouldn't know what the best strategy is to advertise and grow subscriber numbers - is it best to spread it across multiple podcast apps alongside Spotify and get it on YouTube as well? Maybe the club's media department would be willing to help.

Really enjoyed this.

Do wish we had a fans YouTube channel too.

Really good listen. We had the podcast ran by the club and another Wigan podcast but they both seem to ended years back

I'm sure the lads would be happy with any ideas people have to help with advertising/growing it etc.
There may be some development on the club front hopefully over the next week or so and hopefully they'll be able to help

Just listening to this now, it’s really good. Think the lads have hit a gap in the market, good luck to them.

Is there any way they can stream it live on Facebook? Will reach a larger audience with Wigan fans to start off which in turn should increase the number of followers on Spotify. A lot of people do prefer to watch videos over listening.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, and just to let you know and pick up on something another poster (The pieman) talked about last week, they have lined up 3 guest so far for future episodes.
So far a player, member of backroom staff, and a CEO of a SL team all lined up. Needs a little bit of organising and not sure they'll be able to do one of thise every week but 1 every 3 or 4 episodes I think will just give it the variety it needs.

240 plays in the last week so a nice little start, and plays on 4 continents is not bad

Looking forward to listening to this on a weekly basis now

i'm still working from home, and dont listen to commercial radio, so this is filling an hour or so of my day as i can still happily work and listen.

as i and others have commented the discussion has been excellent so far, with a fair unbiased view on not only Wigan, but all other clubs too. I personally dont watch NRL, so that bits probably a little wasted on me, but shows the level of interest the lads have in RL as they are very knowledgeable about the game in Oz too

well done and good luck with future episodes and hope the lads can get enough of a following to make it worthwhile for them

Have listened to a couple of these myself now over the weekend, very impressed and a good listen, have followed them on spotify and will listen to any future ones. I thought the specials they mention such as the IMG one and specials for big events like State of Origin is a good idea that i hope they stick to.

Told the lads i go rugby with about it aswell on sunday and shared the spotify link in the group chat, sure a few of them will enjoy it also.
