Re: Wigan : Thu Feb 27, 2020 6:40 am  

Interesting reading the comments in Wigan Today how confident the Wigan Fans are of winning on Sunday. That we are average plus Sezer, had ‘gimme’ wins at Salford and HKR and there’s every chance Wigan will run away with it against an average over achieving Huddersfield team.

Interesting comments for a team that has won three at home but lost its only away trip so far.

So will it be a close match, a mis-match or will we prove to be genuine contenders... a very interesting Sunday’s sport indeed.

Talk has it JT’s back, Gavet will be fit and Darnell may play which apart from the three long term injuries would put us at pretty much full strength.

The big bench again for me and get a fast start this week... this I am looking forward to...

My biggest fear a game spoiling performance from one J Child

It will be the Wigan backs that we have cope with more than the forwards.

Better off going on our board for a more realistic appraisal Nothing less than a very tough afternoon expected, last week against Hull was easily our best performance so far but nobody's getting too giddy yet.

Can't wait 2 top teams should be an excellent game and by all accounts crowd should be a bumper one home support anyway no idea on Wigan travelling numbers so atmosphere should be rocking.

Bought a flexi 4 on the back of this game. Told there's been a very positive response to the flexi 4 tickets which is all much needed income for the club. Hopefully a good crowd in tomorrow and a good team performance to follow.

The flexi tickets could well be a god send- especially as it appears we have a flexi-fixture list this season!

Then maybe the club could make it more attractive and allow it for both stands. We are not exactly short of seats.

Theoretical civersation

Hi Fred how would you and your kids like to come to the giants game oN Monday / tuesday/ Wednesday ‘ etc

We can have a beer and a laugh and the kids can enjoy it.

Yes I’d love that.

See you Sunday I’ll get the flexi ticket.

Sunday comes
Hi Fred here’s your ticket you go sit over there and I will sit in this stand !

I was going to post this before when someone challenged me about not wanting to go in the Kilmer side. I did not reply as it is blindingly obvious. If you want to get new fans make it is easy as possible.


Still it took at least 8 years from me suggesting a flexi ticket to the club before they did it.

The one by Mark Atack is much more dramatic.

Here’s a suggestion out of left field- go and sit with your friend in the other stand.........
