Can you do DNA testing on the skid marks to validate that they were worn by him?

If you look at the Wigan board their is also an auction to sponsor Mark Flanagan on Ebay!


As for the mascot thing if it was for charity - which it doesn't seem to be - then its a pretty good idea but otherwise it seems a shame that it will go to the highest bigger just to boost funds at the club.

Its for their new stadium fund. If they dont get one in the next 50 years they will have to play at orrell

On a serious note, how embarassing is it to do something like that

Saints in recent years have had mascots at major finals whose families have paid for them to be one.

Nothing new. Wigan are merely trying to play catch up

We sold them wrist band thingys, a year or so ago. The sale went straight into the coffers and not to charity.... nothing new in sport
