My hair's not greasy, but I do have a beard. Am I allowed to take photos of the cheerleaders?

Dunno about the bloke but I used the contact icon on the website to try and contact the club about the disgraceful condition of the top corner of the west stand during the Faz testimonial and got no response. Every one of the chairs on the back few rows, the floors and the side panels/ledges of the stand in the top corner is absolutely covered in pigeon sh*te. I thought it was pretty shameful tbh, with kids sitting up there on that day. I know it’s not an area used much but it’s was honestly embarrassing for two sports clubs of the size of the ones playing at the stadium.

I got no response. I was simply letting them know it needed looking at and didn’t really want a response but you think you’d get something, even if it was a generic reply.

Ross, I'm not trying to cast any aspersions, I just got a weird vibe off the man in question when I thought about it later and want to make the club aware.

I'm unaware of any youtube channel, but that proper gave me the heebie newbies. Could you link it here?

Do you know the best way to contact the club to ensure they get my message?

The club are aware and the person in question is not doing anything wrong.

I think the initial post was poorly worded, important not to make assumptions about people.

Is it really something you need to contact the club about? It's not like he's snuck into the changing rooms, they're out there clothed on the pitch.

I don't think greasy hair or beardedness are prerequisites for taking photos of early to mid-teen girls.

I hope you're right, this is the kind of reassurance I'd like from the club.

But my concerns seem to have fallen into the abyss. Is a reassuring reply too much to ask for?

"Clothed." Wow.

I'll ask you a question, Grimmy: Do you find it weird that an adult man films 15 year old girls and puts them on the internet?

ive seen them on wigan tv, thats on the internet

I think you need to get a grip, you’re obviously looking to create something out of nothing

Yes, but when you sign up you have to confirm you don't have greasy hair or a beard.

I’ll ask you a question Suzy.

If this person had a disability or a condition would you perhaps think differently or consider being more sensitive about this?

Not really. My rugby games were filmed when I was that age. My sister's ballet shows, likewise. YouTube wasn't a thing back then but I'm sure it would have been on there otherwise. Read the papers, these monsters are looking for (and finding) far worse things unfortunately.

Hopefully mods will delete this post as potential to cause real upset to person involved.

For some reason, the club never replies to anyone about anything these days.

The customer services of the club leaves a lot to be desired.

What if you have a greasy beard?

Looks that way mate. I’m not a person who complains about anything tbh but I just thought I’d drop them an email to let them know. I know it’s deserted that top corner of the West most of the year round but it was honestly a health hazard. There was a baby on the back row near us who looked about a month old.

It’s something the club needs to work at by the looks of things.

I tried emailing about ST’s last year as the pay monthly option wasn’t showing when you come to buy them. I emailed and got no response (waited a week) so I rang instead. I got through to some right snotty agent who when I queried how I could purchase a ST on the pay monthly option simply sniped “it’s not available yet it’s quite obvious”. I responded in kind and queried why it was being advertised to which she replied “dunno not my job pal”.

If the option to pay monthly was available or she would have gone through it with me over the phone I would have bought one there and then. Instead I’ve gone for a membership at a fraction of the cost.

Last year when they introduced the bus services to the game me and my Dad waited outside Tommy Gerrards in Ashton for the bus only to see it take a completely different route and not stop at all at the bus stop outside Mad Jacks despite the driver seeing us full stride trying to catch it. I emailed the club and got nothing back, not even an apology or an explanation. Even a simple acknowledgement would have sufficed.

If I were a new fan and I got treated like that I would have just walked away in disgust. I do wonder how many new fans we lose because of the poor customer service.

I once emailed the club about some bloke hanging around the changing rooms in a gold suit, white hair, broad northern accent, smoking a cigar, I feared the worst.

Turns out it was the golden gamble fella.

They let me join

Is that George Riley at it again?

I have never had any issues with Wigan's customer service, in fact quite the opposite.
