Am I right in thinking that you have printed more programes than normal or is it a standard run Alan?

Don't know how many - although I suspect we would have had more printed, on the basis that we thought the crowd was going to be about 5,000.

I think it would have been better if wigan hadn't announced their team in advance, though true pie fans will want to see their 'younger' players in action, against 1st team opposition, albeit from a lower league. It's not an easy situation. I wouldn't have enjoyed Sunday if Wigans 1st team had thrashed us, but i would have still been looking forward to the game. Maybe a 50% 1st choice/academy would have been better.

Point taken but the least Wigan could do now is agree to forego any share of the gate for reasons already stated.

Once they announced the Wire game I thought then 'well thats their academy for us'

There's a few sick pies moaning about paying £14 for the academy. Won't supprise me if they have a load asking for their money back. Isn't the Warrington game a testimonial?

I'll be there, it's going to be one of the few occasions this year I'll have chance to get over

Bringing my girlfriend for her first experience of RL too.....

IIRC Leigh take all the gate money anyway. I think that was part of the agreement.

They've done us a huge favour by selecting a younger side - we should have a pretty competitive game now; with no other friendlies, another tonking would have taught Millward bugger all about his new side.

I maybe wrong but I thought it was for last season only.

I may be wrong but i thought it was a shared gate, no doubt someone will put us right.

I'd still like to know why they arranged a friendly for the Wednesday, knowing they were playing us on Sunday?

Apart from the players, they must know that most of their fans will not go to watch 2 games in one week and therefore we will lose out. They've shafted us good and proper.

The only saving grace is that some may not want to go after work on wednesday and choose our game to get their RL fix.

I suppose the reverse to this is that if Leigh hammer the Junior W!gan side Millward will have also learned bugger all about his new side.

The Humbles have been quite insulting to those who have already purchased a ticket (from both set of fans) with this youthful selection.

Unfortunatly for me its not worth the financial outlay to see.
