Quite agree, also it bugs me when Hemmings keeps saying that it will drive supporters away. Why? Because teams aren't able to scoot from dummy-half every tackle & make 10+ easy yards? It beggars belief to me, not least because it's the style of play which is so prevalent when we face the Southern Hemisphere sides, surely if more Super League teams adopt this style it'll improve our international game.

Dare I say it, but it upsets people because its Wigan. It wasn't mentioned anywhere near as much when Huddersfield started it last season

Hemmings, as far as i can remember, has never had any idea about rugby. Talks total garbage week after week, about any team.

I'm quite liking the style of Wigan this year. Their fitness and enthusiasm is something every team should take note of. I see them as real contenders this year if they can keep it up, and will be looking forward to seeing how we match-up against them.

last year you lot did the online free ticket thing, if you gave a manchester post code you got 2 free tickets to "introduce you to the game" or something like that. im sure it boosted your crowd. you should look into doing that again for other games like (forgive me, i don't know if you've already had these fixtures yet) wire or saints at home.

Dumbest post ever.

Last season we had three coaches complaining about it Mcnamara, matterson and someone else, it was all over the boards and Paul Cullen had to defend us every week on Boots N all.

You need to get that pack of spuds off your shoulder. FWIW there is nothing wrong with what Wigan do. It is up to the other team to deal with it, run around them, run through them just dont get caught in possesion.

It needs to be done way in advance to have a recognisable effect. See how Wigan hyped their home match up with Leeds last year.

Playing sunday afternoon is the best incentive, I actual don't need to rush home from work to make the match on Friday night, will be a cracking atmosphere on Sunday afternoon, a few more beers before the game.

COME ON SALFORD!

Free tickets are being allocated to NHS staff and family for Sunday. No idea if it's a one off or has been going on for a while (I've only just heard) but hopefully should get a few more people through the gates!

Do they still give free tickets out to primary schools or is that initiative long gone? It was a good idea that imo

We already have a couple you know!

Of the female variety?

I remember being in Varsity (or whatever it was called about 4/5 years ago) in the week before xmas having a couple of quiet drinks with some work colleagues. Around 10pm we all decided to head off unril we reached the door and were greeted by the lovely sight of around 200 student nurses out on their xmas do

. Needless to say we summoned up the strength to sink a couple more pints

And yes, of the female variety... Although I reckon it's best if they remain anonymous. Sorry mate!

Red Preacher, you have to disclose names because I may well be in the need for a nurse on Sunday if we beat the Pie Eaters!

Tell you what, if I see anyone in need of a nurse, I'll direct them to the scene.

Isnt Fungus some form of Nursey type??

I'm certain he'd give you all the kiss of life if needed

Talking of nurses(include me) St Annes Hospice are having there annual bucket collection at the game this sunday so i hope you will all give generously...as you have done in the past...

More likely an Optician

Awwww this thread is cute.

Oh, is this one of those hilarious trolling attempts whereby I comprehensively outwit you with a well written but reactionary reply, for you to reply with "BITE"?

(And this is the last reply I make to any trolling attempts. My good opinion of Wiganers shall not be tarnished by a silly minority. It's beneath me.)

Sorry mate I couldn't resist after posts like the one from 'The Black Cat' in another thread.

I wouldn't want you to '[icomprehensibly[/i outwit' me

I noticed, I noticed. Bl00dy black cat of my own mithering me for its dinner when I was typing.



Gotta say, was pretty surprised to see a 'fansite editor' playing silly beggars. But considering some of the rubbish written on here of late, I can understand why you'd be having a dig.

Enjoy the game mate.
