Whether their average attendance is 13,000 or 16,000 (give or take 3,000 or so freebies every week) doesn’t really matter as WAFC are still the best supported club in Town anyway.

To average around 20,000 spectators season on season in the PL from a town population of around 90,000 isn’t too bad whichever way you look at it.

Well I did some checking of figures and Wigan RL averaged 16,040. Considering all clubs in Super League average about 10,000 a game, quite a high figure. I'm surprised at the tone of your comment, especially when you don't check your own facts too well. In reply to Paul, your comment: Paul. said…”juoicnYet another peice of lazy journalism.

I'm sorry, Boro aren't getting 26,000 people a game, I don't care what the capacity is, I've seen that stadium this season on TV and if there's 26,000, I'm Cristiano Ronaldo, and likewise at Bolton and Wigan.
