I would normally revel at the opportunity to get into the ribs of little "Wiggin" however I can't being that it is merely a reflection of the times & down to a combination of factors.
When Leigh were announced as winners of the Super League Mugs of the Year *accepting the poisoned chalice* I was expecting a flood of lapsed fans to be clamouring back & buying Season Tickets, how very wrong I was.
What has transpired is that the hardcore & not even all of those, renewed Season Tickets, game day experience was awkward with tiered entry at 30 mins, 45 minutes & 1 hour before kick off, with no pre match entertainment & no bars open for alcohol or soft drinks etc. Most complied with the rules, a good number didn't.
People have lost their jobs or been furloghed or had to take much lower pay or part time work. Many are now terrified of their own shadow due to government systematic "education" of the masses & wouldn't attend a tea party let alone a football/rugby stadium. Many have got into the habit of staying in or have found new hobbies which were allowed during lockdown such as running, walking, cycling or just walking their new dog's.
& the giant behemoth that is the RFL Media,.Marketing & Promotions team simply can't compete with 100 Cricket or Homes Under the Hammer !
The road to recovery may be long & painful.
