Wigan Warriors • Cup final crowd

The problem isn't ticket prices or fan bases. It's all the other costs and general northern oppression. My bills have rocketed up by nearly £300 a month in the last few months. I am tied into contracts with Sky etc that i can't get out of for at least another 5 months and am currently looking for other bills i can squash. Going for a jolly in London is just impossible and couldn't be further from my mind. There must be thousands suffering the same kind of austerity with no wage rise in sight. Effectively feels like my wages have been cut around 20% with the extra money going out. But Boris said 'we would have to cope' so sporting events are way down the list.
