Blimey, I'd heard there might be a bit of a legends game on that afternoon and was going to head up for a few scoops before heading down the lane. Didn't know it was a full on SOL13 event though.

Cracking idea having a legends wigan v saints game- said about doing this for years, has massive potential IMO and can make a fair amount of money-but cant understand the thinking behind Wigan RU, which is surely only going to restrict the revenue for SOL?
This game at Orrell, along with a fans day, could surely sell Orrell out, and get a crowd of around 2.5k, whereas the capacity of Wigan RFU can only be what, approximately 500?
The only thinking I can see behind WRU is that its licenced, but surely even Orrell unlicensed would get a better crowd purely for capacity reasons. In addition surely it wouldnt be that hard to get an indidual events license for Orrell ?'"
