In the case of Rushton, I find it rather strange that a any Aussie club should be giving a three year contract to any player when the player has never played any first team games and there are Academy players at Wigan and indeed other club's who are just as good and even played a first team game.

More to his signing than what we supporters know about!

:3cpvaalt

Hmmm

interesting

Do you mean you know something that there is something that we dont know about?

Or

Could it be that you have absolutely no idea that there is :3cpvaaltMore to his signing than what we supporters know about! and your just throwing something out there to try and get a bite and/or stir something up.?

And before you reply just remember this.

There is a simple answer to this one
You either know that there is another reason why there is :3cpvaaltMore to his signing than what we supporters know about! or you dont.

If there is, then please let us know (even if you dont tell us what it is I'd just be happy to know, that you know, that theres some mysterious conspiracy as to why it happened, because I think your trying to plant a seed in peoples mind).

If you dont, then please let the rest of us get on with accepting that maybe, just maybe, theyve done their homework on the guy and fancy his prospects more than they do other players through, you know, statistical analysis, good scouting etc, and that theb player himself was tempted and wanted to go.

I think I know which one it is

They asked for fans if the wanted to speak to someone from the club to get in touch. Has anyone had a response from the club?

I sent a letter 2 weeks ago

Thats fine, if Wigan only want sponmsors that agree with abolishing the Police and a marxist take over of the UK then thats their choice but my point still stands that it could turn sponsors away.

Ive no idea what you are on about. At no pint have i dismissed anything. Giving an opinion and dismissing something are two different things. You should learn the difference.

Since YOU brought it up. 9000+ new cases, only 26 deaths?? Why have the death rates not increased with all these new cases? Because the numbers are being manipulated for political reasons. You will see, just like when i told you Edwards wouldnt come and you were one of those posting whiny bloated replies thinking you were the big genius.

And 3 weeks ago



Followed by



Yip, 9500 new cases confirmed yesterday, been around 9000 cases a day for 3/4 days now.



Yip, he thinks like you, let's stop testing, that'll solve things!!!
If we dont test they wont get it !!!




As for Edward's, hiw far did you have to go back for that one? Well done, I said no way on earth would he not come as he would tarnish his reputation 8n Wigan forever.
He didnt come, he has done, I was wrong.

I guess once we start injecting Titanium into players I'll be well and truly put in my place

Have you ever considered becoming a Politician?

No
Have you?
Any reason?

Leeds proposal to supporters: https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... es-4272198 Quote Fans who decide to leave their money in the club will have their season ticket membership price frozen for the next three seasons, enjoy a match day hospitality experience next year and be entered into a draw for a behind the scenes tour of the home changing rooms with Kevin Sinfield prior to a game. Pass holders can also put the money towards a three-season membership or ask for a pro-rata refund for the matches they miss. '"

I have repsonded to the IL letter and had no replay as of yet( as mentioned in ealrier post) . One of the points in my response was I would like to see what incentives etc that the club would be offering and I would respond again when I had all the facts.

My major concern is the possibility of home games with limited fans in attendance and the clubs plan for that scenario.

We play in a 25000 seater stadium. I think we can safely social distance. You may not get your usual seat (which I know some will complain about) but you'll at least be at the game.

if you have current social distancing restrictions for an individual of 1 metre that excludes a seat either side of you and a seat directly behind or in front of you. A single fan in effect would be taking up 5 seat spaces. The NRL guidelines are "The NSW government has approved up to crowds of up to 10,000 to attend sporting events, provided it amounts to 25 per cent or less of a venue's capacity."

I believe we have approx 8500 ST holders so maybe all wouldn't fit in so you would probably have to sell (give) tickets to ST holders in the same way you would for an away game or cup game until all 6000 shall we say had gone BUT I would suspect that some ST holders would be cautious about attending games. Those over 70 or who travel long distances and would normally stay over for example.

That's us West Standers knackered then!!

Good

Don't forget that some families go too so a family of 4 wouldn't take up as many blank seats as 4 individuals.
It's a really difficult thing to mange though and I'm glad I won't be the one allocating seating patterns.

I think saying that (based on us having 8500 ST holders) we have 2500 tickets in the West (holds 6.5) 1500 in the North and South (hold 5k) and 3000 in the East (holds 8k) for ST holders only would work perfectly. No real need for a seat pattern as I think people would sit apart anyway.

Leave the whole hospitality block empty and the two blocks near the dugouts for players, staff, directors etc and I think it works. There are dressing rooms on both sides of the ground now and it is obviously covid secure as Latics play there perfectly fine.

What about away fans attending games, would it be that when crowds are allowed back it would be for the home supporters only?
Not sure how this could/should be managed to be honest

Apart from Saints and Wire unfortunately these days the North Stand is more than big enough for away fans.
How the concourse would work in every stand is another matter, on the plus side if the food and drink outlets are shut it doesn't cost us any income.

The reduction in people within the stand itself will help with the concourse, perhaps having the bottle bars that they have for big games will help that bit more or as you say close them altogether.

As for away fans, I think you either have to have none or again you restrict it.

We're in a good place really as are most clubs this side of the pennines, but some grounds just don't lend themselves to being able to social distance and home fans will have to take preference.

For me for this season at least no away fans allowed, lets get home supporters sorted first I think.

The only way you could do it under the current regulations is to open only one turnstile at each of the four corners of the ground and let fans in single file.
Section off the concourses at the mid points. Mark which seats are available and trust the fans to fill them in the right order. At full time fans would have to go out row by row.
Not sure how you stop the "I need the toilet" brigade though



It would a lot of patience from the fans though, including wearing masks, which should increase the noise from the West Stand

Just open the exit gates as opposed to the turnstiles

If Bateman's return has been agreed, I think IFL's letter will soon be in the post. I don't expect to get one though as I never received the first one!
