Of which about 1,000 were supporting the Wigan Youth Team.
That’s not strictly true though is it? Seven of the thirteen who started the match are in the Wigan Warriors first team squad.
Neither the Fylde nor Southport game contained a single Wigan Athletic Fist Team Squad member. It really was the kids.[/quote]
None of them will actually play though.
When it says stronger squad BTW it means as opposed to last year when they lost 40-0 and not compared to Leigh.[/quote]
I’m sure there’s one or two who’ll get a game. But, that’s not the point Egg. The point is Lord Of The Pies is saying it’s Wigan RL’s Youth Team. It’s not.If the Fylde or Southport game consisted of Pollitt, Fyvie, Jones, McManaman, Golobart, Lopez etc, then it would be the same. They didn’t. The first team were away at the time so the squads for the two games consisted of kids few people had heard of.[/quote]
Not one of those players would be in our first choice 17 and would only play if we got injuries. I get what you are saying but LOTP is perfectly correct. The Wigan U19s side will be that side except for about 5 players.

Well, those that aren’t U19. They’ve changed the rules this year. You used to be allowed 3 players over the age limit like in the Olympics but I don’t think you’re allowed any now so they’ll probably go out on loan to the likes of Leigh.
I think there is only really Tomkins, Gelling, Dudson and Taylor that would be knocking on the first team door if everyone was fit but there’d be nobody in (bit like Fyvie, Redmond, Golobart etc)

As this was a friendly, and rugby crowds aren’t segregated so you can’t count visiting fans through the turnstile, how do you know there were a 1,000 Wigan fans there?

At least they went. Unlike 6,000 of your “Loyal” ST holders last weekend.
Dont use price as an excuse, because these loyal fans only paid £13 a game at the start of the season, so its not like they had to shell out £30 on New Years Day for a Man U ticket.

I was talking about the outfits.
And no Eggmon, it doesn’t really matter. But he won’t let go, will he?

But did shell out for Newcastle, Norwich and Aston Villa Away in a short space of time.
With regards to 6,000 loyal ST holders not going to a reserve game, I can’t comment. I thought 8,000+ was a decent crowd considering it was public knowledge that the second string was to be used, I expected it to be a couple of thousand less than that.
Does that compare to where 6,000 loyal ST holders disappeared to when your full strength squad took on Catalan for the play off quarter finals in front of just over 7,000? (I can feel the steam building)
FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that
