| Will the selection make the game closer? Yes.
Is it worth £14? Well you have to make your own minds up on that. Personally my money is staying in my wallet (the moths will be pleased  ) |

Go and watch a local NCL or NWC game tomorrow, throw a £1 in the bucket that will go to a local club and see a well matched game of rugby. Why you'd pay £14 to watch a low grade friendly just because the team is playing under the Wigan banner is beyond me.

| Quote ="Phuzzy"Whilst I repect you have your own opinion on this, the bit underlined is the crucial point. Why should we accept being fleeced just because it's "we can't do anything about it" (sic). I would have gone and enjoyed it had they announced it as a reserve game, but not if the price had been £14 per ticket and, ultimately, that should be my choice.
Let's put it this way; had I booked to see my favourite band and, 2 days before the gig, they announced that the main act wouldn't be performing and only the support act would be, do you think there would be refunds offered or would they say "tough, you've paid now so you'll have to put up with it"? I've paid to watch the first team, not the reserves (and let's be honest, £14 per ticket is most definitely first team prices for a friendly!!)'"
Why on earth have you bought tickets for a game like this in advance? |

Being a Category 2 I am not sure I should be speaking to you, even if it is on a Forum!
I'm guessing this is a bit like the Indian Sect (sp) system? If it is Rogues shouldn't be speaking to any of us!
Hang on a minute, I've just noticed, Here he is! |

If this is the system we are adopting, Rogues is technically Gandhi. |

Probably the last time he did them it was with "Acdo!" (Brian that is not Gandhi, I know for a fact Gandhi used Persil!). |

I believe Brian washed them in Bold. Once that Launderette closed down he washed them in Thatto Heath... |

this game is well worth £14, simply because our reserve team play better rugby than the 1st team and are much better to watch, I cant wait for the game

Just to put the record straight - the Leigh Club was expecting a strong Wigan team. That's what the written agreement with Wigan stated. The prices were set, with that in mind, and the fact that Wigan take 50% of the 'gate'. Everything about this game, including having produced a 48 page programme, (don't get many of them for an Under 20's game, eh?) was geared to playing a strong Wigan team! By the way, in your Media Manager's notes for the programme, he talks about a "mix of First and Reserve grade players" taking part in this match.
Not knocking your youngsters by the way - they are undoubtedly class - but I see no point in continuing with the third year of this 'agreement' next season.
