"Buying a season ticket does not mean that a person is no less a supporter of a club"

I'm sorry but it does. The clue is in the word SUPPORTer...

You know very well that I have not bought a season ticket for the reasons I have explained on a previous posting.

Buying a season ticket does not mean that a person is no less a supporter of a club than someone who does, especially when you are one of those many supporters who like myself have now reached the age of still being a loyal, but now an ancient supporter.

Buying a season ticket is not a qualification of being a good supporter as you seem to think, but just a laminated card which gets you into every league game at a discounted price!

Your hypocrisy never fails to amaze. It’s so bad it’s genuinely hilarious.

I’m old enough to remember you saying I wasn’t a proper fan because I had personal issues getting to games. You said it was a poor excuse, I should leave my family and work to get to games. Remember?

Utter hypocrite. A troll of the highest calibre. A buffoon of equal amount.

Mitch Clarke gone now confirmed.

I’d have liked to see more of him especially when our pack was getting dominated week in week out but in truth he was never going to be any kind of an answer to our issues.

As far as I understand it that still doesn’t help the quota or federation trained position so we still lack the ability to recruit from overseas to strengthen, which really highlights his poor our planning has been for the last couple of years.

Where's the confirmation? While it's an open secret, there nothing official on website, Twitter etc saying he's left and he's still on the team page of the website.

Just about sums up the club, in terms of efforts around communication. Are they on a sponsored silence this winter?

Seems like the selective, closed (but open) fans forum was all hot air. It even makes me wonder if they were being truthful about GW/ZH such is the sheer lack of anything they said they’d do. Whilst other clubs announce and effectively promote next seasons kit, season tickets, signings we’re sending out “look what happened today in 1974” and “happy birthday [insert old player here]”.

So all the people in other parts of the country and the world who are unable to attend games because of where they live, but support the club by being members of the club lottery, subscription to Wigan TV, buy merchantise are according to your logic, not supporters because they do not have a season ticket.

They will not be happy bunnies with what you and some others think!

I never said they weren't supporters of the club. If they SUPPORT the club via the lottery, Wigan TV subscriptions, merchandise etc. then they are SUPPORTers. If they don't, then they aren't. It's really quite simple.

And just for the record, you have already told us that you don't go (even though you could) and that you refuse to put money into the club, so you aren't.*

Because it is nearly ALWAYS the Buying/Moving To Club that announces the Signing - Wigan would not announce until Newcastle did (And they will have their reasons why they chose to do it at this point).
