Stupid to have one really as we truly have some pathetic fans who would rather say we are doomed than praise the excellent work he's done.



IL has transformed the club and played a master stroke I'm setting up the Madge and Wane combo. It simply wasn't luck but down to a lot of hard work on our chairmans part. He did his homework and spoke to the right people. He's earned the trust that who ever his next pick is we should all go for it.



The Gleeson situation wasn't great but if we let the best centre in SL leave we must have had valid reasons. Again I'm happy to step back and trust IL on this one.



Shame he'll get pillared for it tho.

There is no point doing them, because the thick skulled fans who boo Finch/Pryce etc will demand to know every detail of every point, even when its covered in the rules at the beginning.



The first forum had a corker, IL said he wouldnt talk about players performance. First woman (who sits real close to me at the DW and always has her own agenda) "Do you agree Richie Mathers is crap?" IL rolled his eyes and from their the concept was dead.



The interesting stuff about negotiations with sponsors, players and kit partners is glossed over because he is constantly dealing with idiots such as her above, or fans wishing to stalk whichever player attends.

I went to the last one at the begining of last season and to be fair to mr Chairman he gave out some pretty interesting information.

Unfortunately I reckon she's representative of a worryingly high proportion of fans. A few examples (of which I have many)



During 2006 - "Moran and Orr are the best halfbacks in the league."



"I'd rather have Feka than Graham"



Again during 2006 at "that" Wakefield game - "I'm not bothered if we go down as long as we get to Wembley."

Things I'd like to see addressed.



1) The club shop in the Grand Arcade. Are we getting decent returns on that investment.



2) Has the Stadium been signed over to Wigan Athletic, and if so are there any repercussions for Wigan RL.



3) What has happened to youth recruitment? The U18's look particularly weak this year. Do we need to expand our scouting systems to look at other young sportsmen. i.e Athletics, basketball, football, Athletics etc.

You always get a few fans who queue for 4 hours to get front centre seats..and expect to have every 2nd question but wont like the answers and carry on and on and on and on.

The first two, definitely. The third I think is just part of a natural cycle, more or less, a point Maurice made on SL supermen. Some years' intakes just aren't as good as others.

Now confirmed for Tuesday 10th May.

Rogues - What's behind question 1? It seems an odd question for a fan to ask. The reason I ask is that I have been disappointed with the shop and the lack of choice. I have been in a few times to buy polo shirts but there is not much of a choice and when you ask the staff they just say "if it isnt on display we havent got it in the size you want!"



On Q3 a mate of mine who is invlolved at Widnes reckons the scouting system at Wigan has gone to pot as they are signing some low quality players.

The shop in the arcade is pretty poor. Ive been in a couple of times trying to spend cash but never seem to come out with anything due to the distinct lack of choice/stock.



If we want to increase merchandise we need to get a decent shop at the ground on matchdays imo. When people go to the match I reckon they are more likely to spend a few quid on merchandise etc. For fans who live further away this is also better as buying off the online shop isnt always feasible with the awkward sizes for some things. Its a pain when you buy something online then have to send it back.
