To me it seems IL doesn't want to keep bank rolling.
Tbh if Wigan are running without losses now I wouldnt be surprised...and impressed how Wigan are still in touch of being competitive when you take out Saints and Wire. Think you'll squeeze the 5 now. The week off will do wonders.

Perhaps I should give IL more credit.

You have to give the fans something to turn up for

Aye, because ‘I can’t be bothered’ is the reason I don’t go. Or most others who’ve stopped, in recent years.
Not the crap product I’m being charged £60 for my family to watch.

Fans stop going when they don't like what the see or they find something better to do.
IL to increase gates has to improve the former which will assist in offsetting the latter.
The recent strategy of dull percentage play and lack of star quality plainly isn't working. Fans moaning on forums isn't driving down gates it's the standard of the product on offer.

Parents can take their kids to the pictures/bowling/McDonalds etc at a fraction of the cost or can buy them a computer game or points for whatever game they play. They need to reduce prices for families IMO.

You're not watching live sport though. Reducing prices has little effect, as has been proved many times (Huddersfield being a good example)

If you reduced the prices by say £5 per ticket you would need increase the attendance to 16 - 17K. Won't happen

A junior season ticket is £30, you couldn't buy a decent computer game for that, and they'd be sick of it within two months. A cinema seat for a junior is around £6. If they want to go McDonalds then they deserve everything they get, is it any wonder we have so many obese kids!!

Reducing ticket prices won’t work at Huddersfield because they’ve only got 2000 fans full stop, that’s including arm chair fans.

Whereas when we do the big one one have adults £10 and kids £5 we get a good attendance.

That's ONE game though, if we did that for a season we'd lose a fortune. Kids for £5 it's only £30 for a season!!

How much is it for two adults and two kids?
