| Personally agree with the idea, many more kids will benefit from the 5 minutes another kid is on the pitch in widnes.
Although not executed perfectly a good idea by the club and credit to wigan and mr hogan for highlighting inaccuracies. IMO this not devalue our club in any way

| I do get the feeling that people really are starting to moan for the sake of moaning. Although only a small amount may be raised for a worthy cause, if a few 'sales' are done each month/year then the money mounts up and soon there will be a couple of thousand raised.

true - Saints do something similar for the Saints Community Foundation, there was never any complaining because from the very start it was advertised as being for charity.
No-one will ever know whether Wigan intended this to be for charity or not, but on the whole it looks "dodgy".

It's really starting to get on my nerves the needless moaning on here.

Also Saints are winning games. We are not. That is where all this stems from. When things are going well on the pitch, no one moans about things. When things aren't going well on the pitch, then people will moan about anything and everything. Just have a look at some of the threads on here.
Quote ="saints35 bulls0"No-one will ever know whether Wigan intended this to be for charity or not, but on the whole it looks "dodgy".'" Correct, but I can't imagine it ever not being. Even before I looked at the ebay auction I assumed it was for charity.

| cant be bothered reading the whole thread....but it seems moneys going to community coaching projects....ie the club.
the project is run like the lotto as a registered charity, thus saving the club costs for coaches etc. So its NOT going to a worthy cause, its going indirectly into the club coffers.
itts up to £310 so far and includes 2 adult and 2 child tickets.
it says the mascot gets to wear the full kit......it doesnt say he/she gets to keep it, but i would have thought at the price its going for they could give the winner the kit and have it autographed by the team.
edited...it does say PLUS KIT in the description
anyway....if anyone wants to fork out that much to make their kids day , then good luck to them..........but i think its a tacky stunt in the first place and it makes me ashamed to be part of a club that sinks this low.

I felt strongly enough to post on this thread because i disagree with idea of auctioning this prize to the highest bidder ,it could have been used as a promotion in local schools in conjunction with other prizes ,and been raffled off.
The way its been done seems tacky and money grabbing with little forethought ,and im sure as part of a larger and better organized scheme it would have raised an equally good amount of money .
whatever spin is put on this about moaning or raising money for the club does not change my opinion.

| I know we have other things to worry about at the moment but [url=http://www.wiganwarriors.com/SquadMember.asp?teamid=1&id=312this[/url is the single most embarassing thing I have known Wigan, or any professional sports club to do.
Giving a f*cking fan a place on the official site under the category of first team is pathetic. Beyond amatuer.
Everything about Wigan at the moment it pathetic.
Perhaps if the club didn't run sh*t like this giving away hundreds of pounds of prizes to this Nick character, they wouldn't have to run equally sh*tty ebay auctions to get revenue for what ever fund it is their putting it to.
Absolutly pathetic. Whoever thought of this completly w*nk idea must have been some of what ever Hock's been having at the time.

TBH I actually don't think its a 'bad' idea. Not the best by any means but it's a good initiative IMO.

"A FANTASTIC MONEY CANNOT BUY" opportunity,
why are people being asked to buy it with money?

What was wrong with it was it was not made clear all proceeds are to charity.
The listing has now been amended I believe to make this clear.
So yes the club screwed up by not making this clear but will have learned their lesson.
