To be honest, I would prefer the club to give tickets to primary schools as well as secondaries. Primary aged children will have to be accompanied by an adult whereas secondary school young people are more likely to be accompanied by their mates. Last year, not sure what match it was, Wigan Council distributed family tickets to disadvantaged families. I got 27 families to their first ever rugby match, many of whom have been to additional matches since when funds allowed.

I like the cut of your job young sir!!

I would be happy with them just charging enough to cover the cost of the staff...etc still be cheap enough

I have been a part of these rivalries. We played regular big games against Fisher and St Peters, but that would never ever spill onto a terrace, I find it strange that you think it would. A lot of lads actually play together at their local clubs but then compete against each other when they are playing for schools.

I reckon the idea would work well. Sell tickets for a fiver in every single school, the primary and secondary school which sell the most get a visit from the whole Wigan squad for an afternoon of activity.
