I recall talks of open days for the fans so people can have a look around the new facility. That would be excellent and a good way of trying to improve engagement with the fans.

Im sure the club will be having a community fan day again pretty soon at Robin Park.

They usually have one each summer

It was meant to be next Saturday at the Wigan v Wire academy game, but that kick off has been brought forward to 10:30 a.m. to allow the young Wire players to attend the Wire v Hull semi final at Bolton.

I think it will now be on August 10th prior to the Wigan v Castleford academy game.

I took my four year old grandson on Thursday to his 1st game and we called into the fan zone, he really liked it. It'll be interesting to see how things develop when the arena is finally completed. I believe that will be in the next four to six weeks.

Wily Fox Brewery announced yesterday that they are ceasing to serve their ales at the DW after a two year period.

I really do hope that they commence trading at the Robin Park complex for a number of reasons:

1. Its good beer, some great craft ales. Rather than boring old Carling, John Smiths... Etc.

2. Supporting the local community, a small local brewery should be treasured.

3. Identification - Wily Fox have had 'Warrior IPA' on sale for a number of years. Which symbolised a Wigan RL beer. Went to the fanzone and they only sold Kingfisher.

I'd go one further and suggest the brewery create another lager beer and give it a nostalgic Wigan RL related name. The Riversider, 7inarow, 27nil, Cherryandwhite, Central Park...etc.

Saints have their own beer and we need to replicate.

In the grand scheme of things at Robin Park it's minor but all the little things help bring the club closer to the supporters which the club have identified needs addressing.

I never saw him play, but my dad and grandad said Mctigue was anything but mild. He’d have to be a stout. (Colin) Whitfield Mild might be more appropriate

That actually sounds like a mild, Hows about Mctigues Belter (Bitter)

Might as well get John Marin to do a gig as well.

The early American modernist artist?

I’d be happy with a pint of that

I’d much prefer a bottle Boston wine, 1958

Looking forward to the fan day this Saturday

Will the all weather cages at Robin Park still be available to hire? I would imagine these will be in demand especially with the closure of the Soccer Dome, and if so will be the club be able to make any money out of renting them out?

My second question is a silly one, but will the seats at Robin Park still be blue? I would imagine so because we never got rid of the amber ones at Orrell.
