Was there a supposed minutes silence before kick-off?

I was confused about this.

Some pictures from today, for the benefit of the Category 2/3 fans

I don't think it was a minutes silence - just think it was part of Barrow's big day which is what it was. I thought Wigan players coming out with a Barrow mascot each was a nice touch.

Sounds like everyone had a good day
We are going to totally revamp Craven Park in the near future, we,ve obviously not spent too much on the ground ,bar the bare basics to enable us to keep on playing there, as we were in Div 3 until last season there was really no need.

We have recently invested in a few better players even though half the team you faced today are locals, we are moving steadly in the right direction.

Good luck for the rest of the season and hope you now win this cup, so at least we can say we were only just beaten by the cup winners.

A couple more from me. The trip to Barrow was always one of my favourites back in the day when we seem to be up there all the time. It still is.

I enjoyed the trip and it was great to experience Craven Park and the Barrow supporters who were a great bunch and seemed to love the big day. It was also good to see the players and coaches faces when the Wigan supporters were singing for them as they were doing the lap of honour...They were absolutely loving it.

Super League seriously needs to be up there.

I agree with that bit, I think that made them realise how well they had played.

We had a great day out. Went up on the train from Wigan. Had a few pints in the pub before the match, really good atmosphere.
Great atmosphere in the ground.
Then we went into another pub after the match to watch the Leeds Saints game and were made to feel welcome by the Barrow fans in there.
Would certainly go again. Good luck for the rest of the season to Barrow

that will be up there with the best away games this season.

after the game walked upto that rugby club house just up the road where they had the saints leeds game on,

1.90 a pint of fosters. 1.70 a pint of john smiths

and a tray of chips, 80p! lasagne and chips 2 quid! what a day is all i have to say!

get super league upto barrow- it is an easy place to get to really, lovely scenery on the way and it is expanding the game!

We got there about 11:45, and stayed until 2:30. I was surprised how many Barrow people had Wigan shirts on.

A great day out was had by all.

Get this big chap, Yesterday in the clubhouse toilet at barrow a girl around 20 or so, not too bad looking to be fair jumped the huge queue just at around ten to 3 for the gents and proceeded to deliver a slash IN THE URINAL in front of a moderately fascinated few of us.... (didnt wash her hands either) unbelievable!!
