Can we bring a pie into the ground ? Or is that classed as a prohibited article ?

You'll have to disguise it as your hat and wear it. When they ask why there is gravy dripping down your face just tell them you've got MPED. Mad Pie Eater Disease.

How are you going to smuggle " Lobby " into the ground

Sadly it seems Leigh are copying the Airports questionable reasoning on banning food and drink unless bought on site.
At sports grounds I've generally only seen old people, families and those with little spare income who bring there own food or drink so a pity they'll feel this ruling more than most. It will be Leigh Centurians that get the negative press from this which is a shame.

Presume the new high security arrangements involve full body search including any items hidden under flat caps , ferrets , lobby and pies presumably on the banned list !

Would our mutual friend Mr Jagger be classed as an offensive weapon?

Managed to smuggle a choccy biscuit in under me cap !
Seriously stewards were fine , bag searched but all low key and good sense of humour which is what you need at Wigans away games !
Even got in the Legends Bar for a warm , didn't win the quiz , too many Googling the answers !
There were a few " Rougues " in there .
Great pitch by the way , just about thawed out roll on summer rugby !

Absolutely no problems with the security process.

Well it didn't seem to be much different from last season.
