| Our Reserves side v Leigh will be far more value for £14 than our first team v Leigh. It is a bit much though isn't it.
I'll be there anyway doing updates again.

I'm now extremely annoyed, as I've paid up front, and was expecting to see at least 5 or 6 first-teamers/fringe players, rather than a full-blown academy squad.
If I'd seen this before I paid, I wouldn't be going.
£21 for me and my daughter, to watch the academy play.
It's what happens when you happy clap too early.

| Are people really that surprised we are sending a team like this to Leigh given the upcoming game against Wire?
I'm looking forward to it, will be great to see some of the young players take on Leigh. It will be a much better game than last year.

I think you're right. Initially I was peeved, but it was probably to be expected. Besides, it'll be interesting seeing some of these promising youngsters face a much stiffer test than usual.

| This is ridiculous. I'm phoning for a refund. This is not worth 30 quid. I enjoy watching the reserves and academy, but If I had to pay £15 a week on top of what I paid for my season ticket I don't think i'd bother. Can't see there being more than 2000 on with this match now.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Why is it ridiculous, given the fact that Maguire had already told the fans in his interview that he was fielding a young side, and we have another game on Wednesday v Leigh.
This was the team I predicted on the Leigh site on Wednesday, and I was wrong on one player. Surely you saw it coming.

TBH I didn't expect a total reserve line up. My reaction is as per Cruncher in that my annoyance has waned and I am looking forward to the game. However, I'm on a freebie - I wouldn't pay £14 to watch our kids and I can understand the reaction of those who may have already bought tickets. It's one thing to say you will be playing a "young" side but quite another to omit every single first teamer IMO.

| Well I + 3 did pay in advance and am thoroughly disgusted. This is a reserve fixture and should be priced as such! I would still have gone had it been announced as such...but not at £14 per ticket!! I have to say this has annoyed me more than anything the club has done recently as I think it is nothing short of a con. If it had any morals the club would offer a refund for anyone who doesn't want to pay £14 for a reserve match....let alone a pre-season friendly reserve match! Disgraceful!!

| I've never understood why people bother getting tickets for a friendly, that a) isn't going to sell out, b) doesn't have any "early bird" offers and c) you don't have a scooby what the team is going to be.
It must be a Wigan thing - we just like getting in a queue.

I understand he said it'd be a 'young' team, but I, along with many others on here, expected at least 5 first teamers to play. I think on principal I should get a refund, simply because I get to watch the reserves for free all year and shouldn't have to pay £30 to watch them pre-season. This is a match I had been looking forward to all year and it has been ruined with this squad selection.

| As a Leigh fan has stated on their board out of these lads we will be watching, some are future internationals, future super league stars or at the least future CH1 players to the higher teams and clubs like Leigh and Widnes would kill to be able to put out a team like that. I cant wait for this match, it will be more evenly matched than if we put out a first team and battered them. You've got your ticket, the moneys gone, just go and enjoy the match!
