afternoon all, does anybody know if you can pay on the gate Friday?

Yes you can

many thanks

I heard its been announced as all ticket as they're expecting a sell out!

Seriously? Can't see a friendly selling out

No! Haha



I was just takin the mick out the question



Its obvious you're goin be able to pay on the gate especially for a friendly....can't get why these questions are always asked!!

The equations quite simple really........ only games you ever need to buy in advance in Rugby League are finals and Us v Wire, Us v Saints! Rest can just turn up on the day! I don't even bother to buy a ticket for Leeds in advance these days, cos though its always a massive gate, there's always 4k spare of capacity at leeds and 5/6k spare at wigan!

some all seaters you cant, have to get a ticket from the ticket office and and then use the ticket. Have done it in the past at leigh, hudds and wigan

I agree

Anyone know what sort of team we are sending?

Full team I think. I've read Bowen is playing and the Observer said Wane hasn't yet ruled out Charnley or McIlorum playing.

Is the game live on Wigan TV

no more than likely be uploaded the next day.

Just been on twitter it will be live on Wigan TV

A quick message on behalf of James Roby's Testimonial committee

Thanks to all those who have currently purchased their tickets for this Fridays game. There are still tickets available from Wigan (they were sent 1,500 and as of Monday around 800 had been sold). If you can't get hold of a ticket before friday, you can pay on the gate with prices for adults/juniors for the East Stand at £10/£5 or North Stand seats for £12/£8. Testimonial Programmes will also be available priced at £5 and can be bought from inside the East Stand Concourse.

Cheers
Dave

Full strength side bar McIlorum then, should be good! Is he injured or rested?

I saw an interview with Clubb where he mentions McIlorum hadn't started training yet. That together with this suggests he might have some kind of niggle.

I reckon Charnley would still get in your 17 too

Well done Wigan on a great win!!

Sounded a great game tonight, just what we needed in time for next week.

Yet again the young lads do us proud again, Budgie for Richards it would seem!!!

It was a decent game. Pettybourne, Sarginson and Smith were very impressive for you. Pettybourne is an absolute wrecking ball and put some big hits in on defence. Doesn't look like he'll play big minutes though. Sarginson stepping off his left foot looks very dangerous.

As for the young lads comment, I think both sides had similar 1st team players missing and both had a few kids out there.

Bowen was quiet but far too early to judge. Hampshire needs to work on defending high balls but in attack he is class.

Normal service resumes then my little scouse padawan

Haha. Wigan were more clinical than us and deserved the win. Encouraging things for both teams to take away from the game I'd say.

For Wigan fans, Sarginson and Pettybourne definitely most pleasing aspect from tonight.

I thought that was a decent game tonight. I've not seen a friendly where both teams ( and fans) were so desperate to win for a long time. First half was good. Ok both teams bombed the odd chance and dropped a few balls but it is pre season after all.
Second half and Saints had quite a lot of ball and pressure but couldn't open us up whereas we broke out and took our chances and made them pay. The last try probably made the scoreline a bit flattering to us but, hey, who cares.
As I said Saints had a lot of pressure. Maybe if Luke Walsh settles in they might be dangerous and a force to be reckoned with but I was impressed with how Wigan reacted in the second half especially when we were without Matty Smith and Locky and co.

Was it Smith who scored from the chip over the top? That was a great try. I can see you trying that at quite often with Hampshire/Bowen.
