Can’t see any lucrative friendlies for Blunderland, Dull city, qDR or Burntlee – dear me the TV companies are going to have a job selling some of these games next season.
Well that woke us up. Charnock Richard, Leyland and Southport away watching the youngsters will be fantastic after suffering watching England.
Germany is pushing it for cash and holidays but a chance to for the neutral ground friendlies at Leigh!And besides all that, if the club and its manager are happy to have the pre-season preparations away from the stadium – for whatever reason – it matters not a jot what you lot think, really.
Really? Then I suppose there is no longer a need for fans forums meetings or links to the supporters club. The voice of the fans who have supported this club through thick and thin must mean nothing then.
Ah well! I suppose all this not giving a jot might catch on to some of the junior supporters (the clubs future) and maybe, just maybe they may be tempted to the cherry and white side of the town.[/quote]
You don’t really think they care what fans think when it comes to major decisions about running the team and the club, do you?
The fact that some fans moan about no home friendlies year after year yet, year after year, the club persists with away friendlies, sort of proves my point.
Not that I needed it proving, I knew I was right.
Come on then,if you pick your dream friendly at the DW who would it be against?.
Ever since I was a kid there has only ever been one team I have fantasised about playing the Latics in Wigan. They wear one of the most iconic kits in foofball,White shirts,shorts, socks and a broad Red stipe on the front. AFC Ajax Amsterdam would be my dream friendly,thing is I have seen them play in England at various pre season games and they have always wore the bloody away kit :lol: so I’ve never seen them play in the famous Red and White.

Yes I do, and Mr Jackson and his team go a long way to say this publicly. What sort of organisation do you think Mr Whelan is running here? How many times have we heard that it is a ‘family friendly’ club, a club for the fans’? I think that statement about them not caring is very arrogant indeed. Running the business, in this time of austerity, I can believe is very tight, however, running the club and team is, in my opinion, a partnership.
Let’s say there was a pub in Wigan that sold only Skol (because the landlord got it cheap, in bulk and, after all, it’s booze really) and then opened his doors for business – couldn’t see you or your mates in there, in fact couldn’t see anybody in there.
So I put to you again, that you are wrong. I really do hope that you don’t have a responsible position in your place of work.
Edit: Admins is this the sort of Avatar we are now allowing on this ‘family friendly’ board. I refer to Loudmouths.

Yep, totally agree. Some on here (with jobs) seem to think that every supporter is flush with cash and can afford to travel to away friendlies (if the desire took them that is). Personally I think that a marquee fixture before the season starts gets the juices running and the expectation for the rest of the season begins in earnest. We can see our players perform before the season starts without having to evaluate them during the first couple of home games. Not only that, what if we were unlucky and had our first couple of games drawn away from home – now that would be bloody frustrating

You live in Cloud Cuckoo Land pal. And learn how to read. I talked about major decisions. When it comes to what colour seats we should have in the stadium or what names we should give to the mascots then, quite rightly, the clubs lets the fans have a say. When it comes to the club’s finances and doing what is best for the team again, quite rightly, they won’t give your opinions a moment’s thought. What makes you think you are remotely qualified to advise them?
Stick to drinking Skol.
I hold a highly responsible position at work, these days. I wouldn’t employ you to sweep the car park.
And leave LMB’s avatar alone. It provides a welcome distraction when reading the drivel he writes.

I suppose that would be my first in Business Management with Psychology, you should have paid more attention in class rather than day-dreaming about your next burger, chunky.
Oh! may I offer my congratulations on your appointment to head of cupboards and car park sweepers. It is what you do, right? You did say you are responsible for the employment of the car park sweepers? but I digress.
About that Skol reference, it was in deference to you dear boy – transparent, weak, cheap and full of p1ss, as a non-drinker I found your assumption amusing.
You have added, as usual, nothing to the discussion about home friendlies other than to cheapen peoples opinions, insult them and display your usual arrogance about knowing it all. I bet your pals are sick to the back teeth of your superiority complex.
It’s BBQ weather, chill out and have a Skol, a salad and some quorn sausages or something. It’s hot here in Cloud Cuckoo land, pal.

Ooh, get you. I find that that those that brag about their academic qualifications know deep down that they’re not worth the paper they’re written on.
The rest of your post was just crap. Don’t try to be funny. You really can’t do it.
Something nobody has picked up on:
If you want to play a top team at home in a friendly, you pay for their travel, accommodation, and in some cases an appearance fee.
Put that against the cost of policing, stewards etc, and the miniscule revenue brought in from a few thousand at £10 a head……it ends up costing the club money to host the game.
Even before you consider the issue of protecting the playing surface, financially it’s not worth it.

Stick to taking bets cos you’ll never make it as a comedian.

To paraphrase my grandson after he realises someone has emptied their chuff and has nothing else to offer the discussion:
Whatever, chunky.
