..... and have your photo taken as well!

Another good move by the Marketing team.

It would have made more sense to take it down to the U20's game at Orrell on Saturday.

I see your point but the club are probably looking at it as an opportunity to get new fans or occassional fans into the play offs games or even longer term.

Only diehards will travel to Orrell whereas putting it on in the town centre on a Saturday will attract a lot of passing trade.

Rogues, another thought to keep everyone happy, would be to take the shield to Orrell after the town centre event, which finishes at 2.30pm. Therefore it could be available for half time and after the U20s match.

"It will feature the Cherry Garden Warrior Girls, Max, the Warriors Face Painters and their will be fun for all the family with music, interactive games, giveaways and prizes to be won including tickets to Sunday's huge game"

so i guess our playoff game is next sunday then?

Doesn't say how much photos cost.

That is the best possible day for me.

I think they must have seen your post because it now doesnt mention Sunday's game.

"It will feature the Cherry Garden Warrior Girls, Max, the Warriors Face Painters and their will be fun for all the family with music, interactive games, giveaways and prizes to be won. There will also be guest appearances from Warriors players, who will be joining in the fun as well as meeting fans to sign autographs and pose for photos."

think they may of let something slip then! leeds or hull at home next sunday it is then

The article also needs to count the years back to when we last lifted silverware because it wasn't 10 years ago.

LMAO. Parading the most worthless of the 3 trophies available like its the jules rimet.

Beggars cant be choosers I guess

Well it's more than you've won for the last two years.

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Oh dear what?

It does indeed beggar belief. Parading the hubcap

There is no parade. All that this is, is a simple marketing ploy for the play-offs. And why not?

Again I don't get the negativity around the hub cap.

The CC is seen as a major achievement but yet it only takes a team 5 games to win it? The hub cap, if we win on Friday, has taken us 22 games to win. We've been to Leeds, Saints, Dire, Hull, Hudds & Hull KR and come away with points. It's the hardest piece of silverware to win IMO and anyone that's says it's pointless needs their heads checking.

I'm not saying the CC isn't an important trophy but the hub cap ranks along side it IMO.

Well done AGAIN to the club.

anyone who feels embarressed for some weird reason doesnt need to go..another example of the club getting closer to the fans like never before.

Its a crap trophy that was an afterthought when they realised the playoffs are e. If we were presented with the old championship id feel a tad better. We SHOULD be being crowned champions but we're not, so what's the point.

Top post Priestman. It's only Sky that rank the hub cap so low and of course teams who don't win it, but go on to win the SL Trophy who then go on and on and on about it as, unfortunately, we will find out in four weeks time when this board is infested with Wire fans.

well said that man

every other fan of every other team would love their team to finish top of the league after the regular season

But they'd much sooner win the GF. Ask Leeds and Saints in 2007 and 2008 which they'd have preferred.

At the end of the day it will get people into the club shop on Saturday Afternoon. It costs Wigan hardly anything to do it and the club will make a few quid from it as people will purchase merchandise from the shop as they queue.

Fair play to them, might take my two lads along. They're in their first proper season watching Wigan and having never seen the club win any kind of silverware they are buzzing that Wigan have won a trophy!

It's little things like that which will get them hooked for life* regardless of how crappy looking it may be.

* Similarly for me - I started watching Wigan in 1982 and was over the moon when we won the JPS Trophy in 83.

Spot on

agreed, my lad is 11 and i cant wait to see him at the end of the game on Friday, the look on his face when he gets to have his picture taken with the silverware he saw his hero's holding up the night before will be priceless!!
