| A shoddy money grabbing exercise?  Loving the OTT reactions! Christ you'd think they caused the earthquake in Haiti. |

| Now the dust has settled and i've vetted my anger on next door neighbours cat i can now state that i will be attending the game tomorrow, yeah its £14 to watch my team field a complete reserve team but............
its a game of rugby league, a game that i've watched for 35yrs and will continue to do for the next however many years. I used to have sleepless nights before a game when i was younger and cry if the result went against us. Countless are the number of times that my sunday tea wasn't eaten because losing felt like the end of the world.
How many times have we all scored the winning try at wembley, but always the bell for the next lesson or the alarm clock awoke you as you touched down. Rugby league runs through my veins, i still have the same passion now as i did when i was an 8yr old lad, a lad who would put on his wigan shirt at 9am for a match that only kicked off at 3pm because he couldn't wait to get to central park to see his team play.
Yeah its £14 , yeah its a team of reserves.....but its an opportunity to once again feel that pride & passion that comes with seeing my team play the greatest game of all.....rugby league
Thats my battle cry overwith  |

Quite possibly but don't get carried away. That is a rapid back line and you won't get much change from that starting pack.

Because it is for a friendly game that will have a small attendance and ample opportunity to pay on the gate for all areas, the possibility of a weakened team being played and no financial incentive to pay in advance.

Not sure you will be able to 'pay on the gate'. Policy at LSV has been to queue at the ticket office to buy a ticket. |

There's nothing to link to. I was referring to the agreement twelve months ago, where I believe Wigan were committed to 'fielding their strongest team available' for the three years the friendly was to be played. Of course, it could be argued that the young side is 'the strongest available' tomorrow!  I also received input for the programme, from your Media Manager, where he says that 'It is likely that this afternoon that Wigan will select a mixture of First Team and Reserve Grade players for the game'.
Come along and buy a programme (please) and read it for yourself. |

| I think this is another fantastic idea from the club and Mike MaGuire.
A 'take a look at where you could be playing' if you don't make it at Wigan exercise. Goes very well with the work experience they will all have gained and should motivate the lads more to make it into the first team.
I for one applaud the decision  |

Especially when everyone turns up at 2:55 pm! Personally, I think you should be prepared to take money from willing people, in any way that suits them!
