I did, thought it was pretty good. Obviously early days. We were asked to give feedback and informed not to judge them on yesterday but in 6-12 months time.

I quite enjoyed it, few things for kids to do. Hopefully fans will migrate from the South Stand pre-game.

Thought the lads from Wigan Fan TV did well. Good interviews all round.

Queue for the bar was long with only one pump (and lager only). Hopefully this can be sorted as crowds increase with an extra bottle or can bar?

Loved the little club shop portacabin.

Felt good to finally buy a pint knowing all proceeds go to Wigan RL and not 'them men'. Tasted sweet, the first since Central Park days.

I didn’t see it where was it?

Agree with all of that Matty and I'm sure it will get even better.
Bigger bar required and more than one guy serving would be good.

We've gone 2 weeks in a row,the highlight for me last night was the young kid asking Sean o'loughlin why Escare wasn't playing,lockers should have been a politician he said everything but the truth

I didn't go, although I had intended too; sure I will at some point in the future. The idea is good, and worth supporting.

Wigan

It's at the Arena behind the South Stand. The gates were open so you could walk inside, burger van, inflatables, bar, seating areas, club shop.

And you can do a couple of laps of the track if u feel upto it

That must have been why the East stand concourse was the quietest I’ve known since the stadium opened before the game.

Hope this takes off. Good initiative by the club!

Anyone know if there’s any plans to have a bar inside the new Robin Park facility? The fan zone is great for these summers evenings but it would be fantastic if the club could have somewhere to host events and for the fans to have pre/post match drinks in the colder months.

Agree. We said this on Friday, it's not often you get a nice balmy evening where you can stand outside with a cold beer. Therefore there needs to be facilities for an indoor bar (and coffee/tea area) with lots of space for those cold evenings.

It would be good if the club consulted with fans on what THEY would like to see. I think there has been a disconnection between club and supporters over the last few seasons and this is there chance of recovery.

In my opinion the indoor bar facilities need to be open most nights (rather than just game day) to make good money. Somewhere where supporters can meet regularly for a beer and chat, plenty of ideas from:

Coffee shop open during day with couches includes old Wigan books on shelves for reading.

Bar open most nights, big screen showing last week's game / classic matches.

Quiz nights with two teams of three made up of current players & one supporter versus to legend players & one supporter (bit like question of sport).

Pool table (pool balls in Wigan colours - Red home and blue away Norweb shirt), chargeable table.

Events - Riversiders, Fans Forums, Press conferences, meet and greet new signings... Etc.

Museum - All Wigan trophies and photos on show for fans to visit. There's a lad on Facebook with literally thousands of Wigan RL memorabilia. I'm sure he would allow such items to be put on show.

Photo opportunities with trophies won (with a player). When we win any finals in future put in an evening with the trophy and some players - chargeable.

On game day have a marquee in the car park to allow home and away supporters to congregate, inside the arena you can only fit so many inside and it will be viewed as a 'boys club' if access is limited to the few.

Just a few ideas, have loads more.... if anyone from the club wants to get in touch with me let me know haha!!

A supporters club/bar is something Lenagan has mentioned from as far back as when he first took over and it really needs to come to fruition in this new facility. It will just make the DW/Robin Park area feel more like home. The stadium has never felt like it’s ours but a supporters bar decked out in cherry and white would really help.

Cheers Brian, just this second edited my post with a few more ideas. Will look into it, anyone up for a meeting (Anvil - for old times sake) to discuss? Ha.
