Fri 23 Jul: SL: Wigan Warriors v Wakefield Trinity KO 19:45

[OMEGA]

Wakefield now second from bottom having played, along with Giants & Wigan, more games than everyone else.

With Leigh rumoured to be looking for a host of new signings the relegation fight might not be as cut and dried as we thought

And its final score.  Wakey 2 late tries.

Probably enough to keep a few supporters happy who blindly accept the ###### Chester dishes up week after week season after season.

5,555 crowd. I’m sorry but that’s frightening for the sport.

Think Carter is on a suicide mission and going all out for a championship place. Hence giving another contract for the ideal coach to get the club there. 2 more seasons of Chester after this, club will not survive SL that long.

Who are Leigh going to beat? How are they going to get 5 games.

Even so (crowds are unrestricted now) that’s a pitiful crowd.

Well they’ve got 2 games in hand straight away and if they recruit half decently before the season ends they just may grab a few wins. It’s not like all the other clubs are playing at the top of their game is it?

[Futtocks]

Looks like Wigan (and one of their main sponsors) are good at finding a moment to celebrate, even when it is for their opponents.

Don't worry, we won't win 1 game.

Others agree. It is a worrying indication of the problems faced by the sport.

Why if no TV commitments are games starting at 19.45?

Is this not a bit late.  I see the Catalan game starts at 17.00

Generally though, are people still reluctant to move around.  I'm guessing that Wigans season ticket numbers are somewhat higher than 5500, but stand to be corrected.

If I understand it correctly  season tickets are counted on the attendance whether the person turns up or not, not surprising that any didn’t purchase one this year - everything very unknown
