And it is so difficult, in this day and age, to bombard fans with e-mails or put it on social media. |

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

Is it reserved seating for this game in the West stand?

| Quote: Ruddy Duck "The fact that the club decided to only use the West Stand for the game only shows the lack of promoting games, especially a Testimonial game for a loyal player like Liam Farrell.
Even yesterday, Wigan TV coverage of all three pre season friendlies was only announced in the morning of the game with London Skolars and even the presentation of that game was poor with even the commentator not knowing about the game being play in four quarters and than spending more time having a chat with John Winter and not commentating on the game or keeping viewers up to date with the identities of the players, especially the new younger players. Not even team sheets posted on the screen prior to the start of the game.'"
Completely agree (for a change). This game should warrant a full house for me but the club has done bare minimum to promote it. Fans like you or I or any other poster on here as known about this for a few months but the casual fan wouldn’t necessarily be aware and may have gone if they knew.
I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s shambolic from the club but I’d definitely be inclined to say it’s lazy. |

Ideally they would have done graphics but sometimes the facilities make it difficult. No electricity in the middle of a field like that, a small bit of self erected scaffolding for space that had to accommodate camera, camera operator and commentary equipment plus three people. It's quite an achievement to get it live in all honesty. |

Testimonial events are not run by clubs, they are run by testimonial committees in the interests of the individual player. I think for reasons of tax their are limitations on what can be done. |

I agree, more lazy than shambolic, but improvements do need to be made. For example, we are now more or less into the official season, but the club website is still showing the last years player profiles for the Under 19 (now Under 18's), Under 16's and Womens teams.
You would think that with all the administration staff employed by the club, the website could be kept more up to date, especially, when some shown on the website, both in administration and the playing side have left the club and newcomers are not shown.
For a club like Wigan, its just not good enough! |

No ben flower today according to Lammys interview on Wigan TV. Also Goerge Burgess very doubtful. Maybe that's why Romain was withdrawn from Fridays game and dint play at London. Not sure whats wrong with Flower

Hopefully nothing too serious and just resting them up ahead of the Wire game. I guess one or two guys not in the squad like Navarette, Havard or Kilner will step up now and that may be no bad thing. You’d think Flower and Burgess are guaranteed places in our starting 17, so we should have 5 or 6 guys fighting for a couple of spots today. |
