I don't get why people were so desperate for a signing anyway tbh. Who do we need? What positions?

I don't really want a halfback because I'm happy to see the young lads get their chances. We've got Bowen signed back up and options coming out of our ears in the pack. I'd take a centre if the right one became available but it's not a major panic to get one.

They don't even mention the ticket prices on that article

new/casual fans (ie the people the club are targeting with the big one) won't have a clue what it is based on that!

They also say tickets are on sale now and when you go to the ticket site they're full price.

Presume some tickets will be made available at a discounted rate or else the game would just be a Wigan v Leeds game and will get it's standard 16-17k crowd.

Apart from the big promotional stuff for these "Big One" events, does anything different actually happen on the night in terms of pre-match/half-time stuff going on?

I'm a loyal season ticket holder. This 'big announcement' does nothing for me

Not really, just have a large allocation of cheap tickets.

This.

The clue was there with the emphasis on "BIG". Those who got over excited and are now having the come down like a 5 year old after too much sugar only have themselves to blame.

I would like to announce my disappointment at both the pre-annoucement and the actual annoucement. Pre-announcements (and announcements) like this do nothing to please hard working happy clappers like myself who are desperate for announcements and pre-announcements of a higher announcing quality

You actually made me laugh out loud...

That wasn't the problem and had they left it at that it would have worked. It was the "set your alarm clocks early" bit was where it fell down. That set the bar higher than this ever was and frankly it wasn't an announcement for Season Ticket Holders to get up for.
