Most expensive reserve game ever???

For that reason....Im out!

We've just decided that too

I wonder if Leigh are happy with that side Wigan are sending? I doubt it and would imagine when they set the price of £14 they thought we'd be sending at least a few first teamers.

I think at £14 plus a few quid getting there, we'll be giving this a miss too now - will keep the excitement levels higher for next month.

Was going to miss this one anyway, but not that upset now that I have seen the team we are sending.

Didn't we do the same to Whithaven a few years ago, and lost ?

Lets hope result not same this time round.

Yeah seem to remember the result being around 30-0 and i'd imagine the young uns will get beat this sunday aswell.

It will though be a good experience for them and I suppose this u21 side is better then the one we had a few years back and they'll have alot to prove to the new coach so they could push Leigh closer then that.

It'll give the coaching team an idea of where the reserves are at physically. They're now playing against men rather than lads.

Well i'll be there. Miserable b*stards

And it gives the Leythers a preview of some potential loan signings?

Looking forward to see how the to Leigh lads go, Davies and Sarsfield!

Apologies to TinyTim - Obviously not a fishing trip.

I'm now extremely annoyed, as I've paid up front, and was expecting to see at least 5 or 6 first-teamers/fringe players, rather than a full-blown academy squad.

If I'd seen this before I paid, I wouldn't be going.

£21 for me and my daughter, to watch the academy play.

Why should i pay £14 to watch reserves when its only £3 to watch them at Orrell
Was looking forward to it but to not have a single "first team" player in is bordering on the ridiculous.

I'd have expected a few considering they were rolling on and off at regular intervals verses Wakefield and not one player can have played more then 40mins.

At least theres not long to wait for the Wire game anyway.

This is surely an insult to Leigh??

I'm all for blooding young players, Leigh are opening their stadium and paying the costs involved to get a game on, and we name this side? This will badly hit the attendance of either set of fans to be honest.

Although if we do beat them, well, I wouldn't like to be a Leigh fan.

We all new this was coming, from the start McGuire said it would be a young team that played against Leigh, and surprise surprise it's a young team.

I'm all for it, it'll give the young lads a chance to play against bigger and fitter opposition, something that many of them won't have encountered.

Just think it'll be all that more sweeter if we beat Leigh with are reserve team.

Look at it this way - it wouldn't have been logical for players to play another game with a 3 day turn around especially when they are trial games. Any first teamers who played on Sunday surely wouldn't have played against Warrington. Therefore, all first teamers were only ever going to get a maximum of 2 games.

Wouldn't you prefer those two games to be run-outs alongside their fellow first teamers - the players they'll be playing with for the majority of the year and are trying to develop on-field cohesion with?

I was hoping Ainscough's performance v Wakey might have seen him get a game v Warrington instead. How bad are Leigh now? Our reserves might turn them over!

Maguire [urlhttp://www.wiganwarriors.com/news_full.asp?newsid=5396[/url always said it was going to be a young side at Leigh.

I actually think they will do o.k. and am looking forward to seeing how the likes of Charnley, Marsh, Gee, Holland, Davies and Walker etc perform at this level.

Wigan will have to decide soon which and how many players go out on loan, this game will help with those decisions.

I am sure on your Official site it does mention a cash turnstyle, but what they say at the LSV and what they do are two entirely different things. Ticket office will be open on the day, but be prepared to queue

Our Reserves side v Leigh will be far more value for £14 than our first team v Leigh. It is a bit much though isn't it.

I'll be there anyway doing updates again.

It's what happens when you happy clap too early.

Are people really that surprised we are sending a team like this to Leigh given the upcoming game against Wire?



I'm looking forward to it, will be great to see some of the young players take on Leigh. It will be a much better game than last year.

I think you're right. Initially I was peeved, but it was probably to be expected. Besides, it'll be interesting seeing some of these promising youngsters face a much stiffer test than usual.

This is ridiculous. I'm phoning for a refund. This is not worth 30 quid. I enjoy watching the reserves and academy, but If I had to pay £15 a week on top of what I paid for my season ticket I don't think i'd bother. Can't see there being more than 2000 on with this match now.
