I will be attending my First of the fans forums on Wednesday.

Given the improved communication from the club, what things are people hoping to find out on Wednesday?

Post your questions on here and open the discusssion.

Ask Maguire what his choice of pie is.

I guess Steak & Kidney

Well most aussies have there pie covered in peas, i think they call it a "pea floater"

Chicken and mushroom methinks

Also

I would like to know if we have any plans to show all our games (even the non televised ones) in full via the official website.

I would also like to know why the Pringles crisp slogan is "Once you pop, you cant stop!!" when they have a re-sealable lid?

its botherd me for years

Mushy pea's one would hope

That won't happen. Not in Full.

I can't make it on Wednesday but as IL reads these forums so hear goes.

What is the latest situation with Gareth Hock?

Is there a "real" agreement with Leigh to send a strong team for the friendly?

As Wigan Athletic now own the Stadium does it have any adverse effect on Wigan RLFC?

And the most important question of the night.
Is there going to be expansion of the scouting system, in particular to look outside our local areas and perhaps more importantly to look at other young athletes from different sports (Football, rugby union, basketball, athletics, boxing etc) with a view to developing them into Wigan RL players?

Are there any plans to send our junior U16 / U18 teams on tour to Australia as Saints have done in the last few years?

Have any of the players switched to mini Weetabix with the chocolate chips and if so what is the club breakfast consumption record?

Does anyone know if anyone as got tickets but cant make it???

He'll just lie to you like he did when I asked him when we were signing Billy Slater

These evenings are really pointless.

It would be funny if it wasnt so true

Ian, if a blue dog mated with a yellow dog would the puppies be green?

No they aren't!

It gives those who did go a chance to tell those who didn't go what IL did or didn't say and in most instances actually quote what he did say incorrectly!

That way those who didn't go get a chance to criticise IL & The club for something he didn't say at the forum (Even though they won't know if he did or didn't say it ) or misquote what IL did say in future threads to use it in a pointless argument with someone they don't agree with on the forum & as a stick to beat IL up with even though they weren't there !

That way those of us who were there can then get frustrated at those who weren't there for arguing over something that wasn't said!

Didn't you know that's what they're for!

If you haven't got a ticket to get in how you going to ask IL That question?

Now your just taking the "P"!

You, I, and everyone else knows it will be Blue with Yellow Stripes!



That would just waste one of the 10 questions were going to get chance to ask!



Mine's going to be :-

"Ian, it's Phil McCrackin here, My Mate Ben Dover couldn't make it tonight and he would like to know the Following!

1/ What Cereals do Saints use and why aren't we copying them?
2/ What Cereals do Leeds use and why aren't we copying them?
3/ What Cereals do Warrington use and have we made sure we don't copy them?
4/ What do the team do with the little toys from their breakfast cereals?
5/ If there is such a variety of different cereals the players want why don't you get the Variety Packs?
6/ If we do get variety packs which players will get 1st pick & if it's not the Young Wiganners then why not as they should get 1st chance over some of these overpaid Aussies who only come over here to take our Cereals?
7/ Where do you get your cereals from and if it's Tesco can he have your Club Card Points?
8/ If Feka is now only having 2 weetabix & not 48 a day like he used to what are we doing with the leftover money & can we spend it on the Salary Cap?
9/ He Sponsored Pat Richards last year yet in the off season when I asked the club could Pat come and rake up the leaves on my garden I was told NO! Is that a way to treat a sponsor who only sponsored him so I could get some limelight for myself & act like the Big Time Charlie I really am!
10/ Why did we let Mickey Higham Go? I don't really want to ask this one but seeing as it's almost become a ritual I though I'd better!"

Now then everyone, I think you'll agree I've just about covered everything so there's no need for anyone else to ask anything.
Just let IL talk about the pointless stuff that Mo Never used to tell us about & we used to criticise him for like player recruitment, club finances & merchandise arrangements, Coaching set up, Youth development, Squad development etc etc and then we can criticise him for telling us something we don't want to hear and then we can all go home!

To some degree I agree with Hogan regarding them being pointless but I think that's down to the questions being asked. There are clearly some people who go with the intention of asking a question no matter what. It's these people who haven't listened to any of the 'ground rules' or presentation or previous questions. These are the people who spoil it for me. At the last one I went to, people were clearly annoyed about the fact we'd played our playoff game at Widnes but people just kept asking the same question over and over again. A complete waste of time.

It's a shame that they can't be a warts and all Q&A but I do understand why the club/IL doesn't want to ask certain questions.

The mood was lightened by Phil McRacken though.

What does annoy me about these forums is the stupid questions people ask. Not the ones about the weetabix etc but the ones when people clearly haven't listened to any of the presentation or the previous questions.

That would have worked so much better if I hadn't edited my post as you were posting yours

Sorry, I wasn't listening...

Here's one that probably will get addressed.

"How has the new shop performed against budget and will the six month lease be renewed"?

But then followed by a series of banal merchandise related questions, possibly instigated by Barlow...

One thing I was told over the weekend by someone at a local non-RL amateur club is that Wigan are looking to enter a partnership by placing a full sized all weather pitch there. Maybe when the breakfast queries have been answered one of you Cat. #1's in attendance could ask about it

Is Sir Ian Botham lying when he says there is nothing to see inside a Shredded Wheat cos Weetabix always look pretty cool inside?

Ask them which Wigan pub is being bought by the club for the players and rugby 'nights' on a big new shiny projector screen.......ssshhhhh
