For those who don't know The Brigantes are currently raising money for local charity 'Wigan & Leigh Hospice' and Cancer charity 'MacMillan' by asking Wigan fans to donate £1 in order to sign a book thanking coach Mike Maguire for his efforts at the club (and wish him luck for the future)

When Maguire took over, nobody could have dreamt of what we would achieve in just two short years, and we are looking for fans to leave their messages of thanks in a special book which will be presented to Mike in the South Stand bar after the second home playoff match.

ALL proceeds will be donated to the above charities.

The book will be available to be signed at the flag meeting tomorrow night, in the South Stand bar before and after the Saints game on Sunday.

If anybody wants to sign the book but can't make either of those, then PM me and I'll arrange something. We currently have around 120 signatures and re hoping to add around 300 more which should see the book full.

Not too sure if I'll be in the SS bar tomorrow but will it be there at the next play off game?

Should be before the game, but obviously after it's being presented to him so all signatures will need to be done prior to that.

Will it be at the flag meeting tonight ?

That was the plan Roy, I still need to sign it!

I'll bring a crayon.

Okay I'll be in before the game to sign and in after to see presentation.

I'll bring you some glasses so you can see what you're signing

I'll sign it sunday conroy, ill come and find you in the ss bar!

I'll sign it. If I'm allowed to

Can i get in SS bar without a season ticket? Never been in before

thats actually a good question...ive no ST either, but i would sign it if i could

Nope, season tickets are checked on the way in.

We may have a solution to your problem dont panic, just need clearance.

The book will be available to sign in Warriors World from Monday until either Thursday if we lose or next Tuesday if we win.
We've got around 200 signatures so far and our original target was 500 so a few to go

Another 50 signed the book today thank you.
Just to confirm, it will be in Warriors World from around 1pm tomorrow until Thursday and the SS bar PRE MATCH ONLY on Sunday.
The presentation will also be in the SS bar post match

Were abouts will you be in the SS bar?

There should be someone coming round or the MC will announce where we are

Could have done with a big notice (or a flag?) or something today. We came in to sign it, but couldn't see anything that looked like an official party, so ended up leaving again without signing it.

For info, they only wanted to see our game tickets for access to the SS bar today, not season tickets today, and we didn't even show our tickets, just confirm that we had some!

i did the same.......but i had the sense to go see a guy at the riversiders bit AND ASKED HIM........it wasnt that difficult.

for anyone else who hasnt got a season ticket and wants to sign it next week, i was told by the doormen that during play of games you dont need a season ticket to go in there..............so get in and sign it.....its for a good cause

I was told that about tickets by someone in the bar (maybe you pieman)

Im just in town now to drop the book off at the shop so go for it.

Bump

Second time I've seen you write this, is it just to move it up the thread listings??

yep. "bumping it up to the top of the pile".

bump bump.

Go sign and say thank you to the man who brought wigan back!
