Wigan has a very young fan base so in time things will improve. 3....Blackburn, Burnley, Preston and dare I say it Bowton are 1 horse towns with no home grown competition. We have the rugby lot who dont like footy and won't come. So our gene pool is automatically halved. 4....lastly and most disturbing is we have a group of fans who only show up for a ruck.

All kinds of incentives have been tried ranging from a free pie to a half time blow job off Miss Wigan with little success. Also every fucker has a dodgy stick these days. Sorry to ramble but you did ask. Ramble away, mate. It's good to hear/see things from the other side of the coin. I think that at the back of my mnd, I was alrady aware of all those possible resons why you've not consistently broken the 10k barrier outside the top flight, but it's only when you see them all listed together that you realise what a task you've got on your hands. None of us on here have any real issue with genuine fans from other clubs and all of us should still count our blessings that we've clubs to support.

Sorry to ramble but you did ask. Fair assessment that .Think your manager had a veiled pop at your no showers last night. he said (I paraphrase)’ It’s easy to support your team when they are four nil up at your nearest rivals , but tonight our team needed a lift (I assume he meant by the crowd) & it wasn’t there’ fwiw MK Dons are a decent outfit.

Leyther_Matt Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 21 hours ago, Duck Egg said: I think this is a very fair point and has had implications for us too. I know of several Wanderers fans in my age group (40s-50s) who were brought up in Tyldesley, Atherton, Leigh etc That next generation in those areas not already hoovered up by ManU and City, are probably more likely to go to Wigan than come to Bolton, now we're on a par with each other. That’s something I naturally keep an eye on around my neck of the woods and thankfully there does still seem to be a production line of younger Bolton fans, albeit City/Utd/Liverpool are a bigger threat than ever. It probably hasn’t done us any harm to have dropped down the divisions and had a bit of relative success in a similar vein to the Rioch era.
