I'm with you mate the fixture was locked in for at least 3 years so the Warrington game next week is no excuse for them to bring the entire academy side because they already knew they'd be playing us this weekend.

So much for the new relationship between the two clubs that the Wigan chairman was bleeting on about last season.

I will be there afterall it's the pies we are playing no matter what team they play, plus i want to go and support the Leythers no matter who we play, even booked the night off work for the game.

Don't think Ian's named the team yet Keith.

Well im definatley still going i pay £14 a time to watch Leigh Centurions play couldn't care less who they are playing against.

And £14 to some people might seem steep but they've got to make money somewhere to get in better players. It always strikes me how much of a catch 22 situation Leigh fans put them selves in.

I'm not goin its Wigan reserves.
I'm not goin its too expensive.
I'm not goin they're bottom of league.
I'm not goin they've got crap players, id go if they had better ones.

Blah Blah Blah.

So we may be able to persuade you yet then, come on our team needs you

Me and my mates are going and after last week i am looking forward to seeing some beltin tries The lads could'nt really show much against Warringtons big boys and so i would prefer Leigh to be in the driving seat this week and hopefully do a bit of showing off of their own

Thats you off a fair few christmas cards lists, welcome to my world

The shine has been taken off the fixture a bit, but to be honest its going to do our preparations better surely by having a more evenly matched fixture. Another rugby lesson won't do us good.
The bigger worry is of course W1gan fans won't pay to watch what basically is now a reserve friendly game for them.

I was thinking exactly the same but new coach, new ideas, new ideals.
I put a post on the pies site asking were they coming and it got a decent response so all is not lost.

I'll decide on the day if I'm going or not... I'm sure curiosity will get the better of me lol

We will get you to change your mind yet, you know you want to.

I have been talking to Allan rowley and I can tell you he is not impressed with this team Wigan have named. He says the price of entry and corporate was done in good faith, as Wigan signed a letter of agreement to field there strongest possible team available. This was part of the 3 year agreement. We will also still be naming our strongest side available.

I thought as much. If thats the case then I hope we absolutely batter them. See ya Sunday
