As already said many times by other fans BN saved us from certain relegation, I will always hold him in high regard for that and yes he took us close to two Grand finals but the past is the past. MM is the new man at wigan who can hopefully bring the good times back to Wigan.

Tomorrow Night is the start of hopefully a new glorious beginning and if the players what to be sucessful as they say they should want to put as many past the crusaders as they can never mind who coaches them.

COME ON WIGAN!!!!!!

I've finished making my 'Thanks for saving us Nobby' banner for tomorrow. Great coach and would be in NL1 if it wasnt for him

Ian Lenagan opened the Fans Forum with some kind words about Brian and his time at the club. I hope Nobby does get a loud round of applause.

I think he deserves a good reception, regardless of what you think about his coaching style he always stuck me as being a decent chap and handled his last few months in charge with great dignity in what must have been trying circumstances for the lad.

Anything to over the top mind would seem a little two faced!

100% Warrior ? Can't go because it's your 21st. Next thing you'll be saying you can't go because you're getting married the same day. Pull yourself together and get your priorities right!

You are joking, right?

Dave

Why?
Surely he/she is entitled to their opinion and entitled to express it in that manner if they so wish.

He saved us from relegation four seasons ago and has been thanked a million times by every Wigan fan regardless of their opinions on how he did after that.

Polite applause is IMO more than enough but having [ubanners[/u for an ex-coach at the first home game the new coach is in charge is IMO wrong.



Dave

I agree, but each to their own I suppose.

Will certainly get a round of applause from me.

He loved it at Wigan and did alot for the club in his time here.

I believe that there is going to be a presentation to Noble from some of the fans prior to the game.

I guess that is when he'll get his round of applause (quite deservedly IMO)

It gets worse! There is a time and a place for everything but our new coaches first game isn't something to be marked by a banner and presentation for the ex-coach IMO! Any such presentation should have been made in the off season IMO. Glad we are not on Sky.



Dave

Quit whining. So boring.

I'm inclined to agree. The guy should be welcomed certainly, but a special banner and presentation !!!

Some people just can't let things go.

Whats the presentation for?

Services to chewing gum.

Apparently the trophy is a small golden baby in some bath water. Hopefully he won't throw the 2 of them out together.

Don't forget the airfix model of Humpty Dumpty. Hours of fun putting it together

He is to receive it whilst 'Getting back on a horse'.

I've heard it's actually a few broken eggs and an omelette in a commemorative glass case.

In all seriousness, the idea of giving the opposition coach an award before the first game of the season under our new coach is absolutely ludicrous.

You're quite right. It's so crazy it's funny. But then imagine how MM will feel if he sees a deputation of Wigan fans doing something like this just before the big kick-off. He'll truly wonder where on Earth he has come to.

It'll be those busybody stalkers from the Riversiders. Fruitcakes the lot of 'em.

Well I saw no such presentation.

Noble was well recieved but nothing dramatic.

As it should be.
