Decent article, worth a read for sure

I agree.

The atmosphere in the ground and the standard of Rugby will sure turn a few heads of the Rugby Union team, with all the flags and colours in the stands and the crowd will be shouting on Wigan, I feel sick I'm so exited, looking forward to it more than the grand final TBH.

Have you seen the comment at the bottom

at the comments at the end.
'"the small rugby town in the north-west of England". I can only assume it is some time since you visited Wigan Mr Riley. Plenty more football shirts than rugby shirts on view in the town. Just a shame that so many of them are in Liverpool, Manchester United, Everton or Manchester City colours. Although amongst under-16s, the proportion of Wigan Athletic shirts is increasing steadily.'
think this guy needs his eyes looking at...

Good article and it shows how good a sport this is when RU players are desperate to watch the game. It's a shame they couldn't make it. I wonder if some of the united players will be in attendance! That would be fantastic.

Its a shame we can't get the WCC on the BBC, the country would get behind the English team with it being against the aussies.

Id imagine Giggs coming maybe Rooney aswell..

Ye giggs, scholes are a few united players that have been to a WIGAN RL game before

Roy Keane and Nicky Butt have been to games in the past too.

Do you reckon that the "logistical headache" was that we wouldn't give em free tickets?

The logistical headache was they didn't want to park 20 rolls royces in Marsh Green
