Wigan Warriors creating 'fan wall' to thank season ticket holders

Wigan's last game was against Salford back in March

Executive director Kris Radlinski outlined the options to supporters ahead of their restart against Wakefield.

He said the "majority (were) expressing a desire to donate the hard-earned money to the club they love". There is also the option to convert the value of any games lost into equivalent number of entries into the club's Lotto, which supports their youth development programme.

Every season ticket holder who takes up that option will have their name inscribed on a permanent 'fan wall', revealed Radlinski, "so that every time our players arrive to train, they can see how many supporters decided to go above and beyond for their club at a time when we needed you more than ever."

Fans also have the option of using the equivalent value of games lost towards season tickets in 2021 or 2022, or request a refund.

Super League bosses are hopeful some games will be allowed to be played in front of limited crowds from September.

In a letter to season ticket holders, Radlinski said: The financial impact of season tickets is extremely important to the Club to survive and be competitive. If you are unsure about what to do at this point, but feel that you can afford to support this collective effort by committing to writing off this portion of your season ticket as a donation, this will make a massive difference in overcoming the challenges that we face.

"However, we recognise that this has been a challenging times for many fans and their families, so we are also able to make options for deferrals or refunds available, if you feel that this is the best situation to suit your own personal circumstances.

"We hope that our supporters will find this a fair and equitable system and trust that the timescales we propose will be acceptable to the vast majority of supporters. For those opting for the Lotto-based donation, credit towards a future season ticket or claiming a refund, the relevant value owed to you in each form will be calculated and processed once we know the total number of games that have been cancelled or played behind closed doors.

"Thank you for your support. It remains as crucial to us now as it has ever been."

The access to live streaming of our August games via OurLeague, which we sent to season ticket holders by email, is available to all season ticket holders, regardless of which option they choose.
