Why could Wigan not help out with Orrell?
I don't know if it was discussed and wasn't an option but it seems odd that Wigan who have benefited from Pats players couldn't have done anything

Agree, or Wigan council could have waived the stadium charges for that one game. |

| Quote leg_end="leg_end"I just think that it's sad that Whelan couldn't have allowed them to use the DW at a reduced rate to play Leigh. I know he wont let us play any friendlies there, but he surely could have helped out a local amateur team. He prides himself on his involvement in the " Youth Zone" project and good on him for that but here was a chance to help out a local amateur side on what for them should have been a big day for their club with a chance of securing some decent funds to help their development.
Before any one says that it would be setting a precedent and that other local rugby and football teams would expect the same I would say so what? Let them as well. It would probably only be about 1 or 2 games a season at most. I am sure a lot of people on here can remember when Central Park was used for all of the schools finals at all age groups not to mention the Ken Gee Cup final.'"
DW would have cost far more than LSV |

Dave Whelan? As a gesture?
If not due to cost just don't bother with a bar or stadium food and just let the burger vans cater for the latter.
That said if this episode doesn't reinforce what Bilko said about Orrell, what does?
It would be great to be able to offer that for local amateur sides in the CC. |

What was interesting at that game at LSV was the lack of support for Pats on the night compared to the last time the two sides met in about 98, and is probably indicative of how the CC has been run down. The chance for an amateur team to have a pop at a pro team used to have all the club travelling plus mates and family for a good day out, or a riot for one or two clubs who will remain nameless.
Such a shame.

I think the fact that Wigan were at home the same night was part of the problem. If we weren't playing then I probably would have gone to support Pats. |

a gesture? He has no affiliation to any RL club but want him to pay for one? If anything Leigh should have done it considering they are a full time club. |

To be fair to Wigan, when my Club (Ince Rose Bridge) where drawn at home in the challenge cup Kris Radlinski was very helpful to us and offered the use of Orrell and was very accommodating and professional in all my dealings with him. Due to circumstances we could not take up their offer.
