Nope - they've won nowt. Nor are they likely to. I fancy a team & coach like Wigan personally.

Of course wigan should be the benchmark for what we aspire to be, they are after all the current champions. The point is they have players who will play for the coach, a coach who doesn't play a boring style of rugby (granted his way is not perfect). Rovers will go into every game of the season with a chance of winning it, they will give other teams something to think about.

We on the other hand have more a less written off most of our games before it kick offs and have nothing to give teams to worry about.

They have a half back pairing I would take in an instance.

not a bad attendance on a freezing cold feb night and the match on the box.

Worst opening gate at the KC for 5 years, and we've played Hudds, Quins and Catalans in that time and got bigger gates.
In fact, we've only ever had two opening gates lower at the KC in 9 seasons. But no, not that bad.

Dont the club always count all season pass holders in the final gate attendance whether they attend or not??? this coupled with the amount Whino's brought would make our first home game attendance pretty poor to say the least!!!!!!!!!!...Havent heard the club crowing about us breaking any season pass sales neither!!!!!!!!!!! On top of this I now have a reserved seat in the east stand next to 'Giant Haystacks'...should have asked him to go halves with me for my pass as he was taking half of my seat as well as his own!!!!!!!!!....

By making East all reserved it sorted chav corner in one fail swoop. It might not be a popular decision but the RFL were very close to slapping a Castleford style £50,000 fine onto us if something hard wasn't done. We could've been in 3D last night and the atmosphere would've been poop!!

Should've just made the block in Chav's corner reserved.

I don't see how they can, given that we have a voucher exchange scheme. If season ticket holders were included on the attendance if their voucher wasn't used, they'd be counted twice, i.e. the second time when the unused voucher was swapped. Sounds a bit dodgy on the tax side of things.
