Dunbar Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Lot's of people playing Rugby League in Wigan and all wearing Cherry and White. Is this the first signs of the world getting back to normal! "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Just Browny Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 This is pretty obviously good news, great to see. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Man of Kent Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 As the article alludes to, Wigan Touch Warriors have been around for yonks and are a top side in the England Touch system, up there with the very best London-based Aussie-dominated teams. Will be interesting to see what this could mean for RL's involvement with touch going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynebennettswinger Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I hate to see discrimination, so brilliant to see less restrictions on booing the cherry and whites now. In all seriousness, this is a great way for Wigan to celebrate what will be their 143rd year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 This probably explains the no sponsor shirts. I’m guessing each team will have their own main sponsor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible, although it may also be due to longstanding issues with Iqoniq around money. Almost resolved I believe but came too late for shirt printing as they are ordered well in advance. Understand Iqoniq will be added to shirts at some point, presumably when their check has landed and cleared. Having said that the Academy do normally have their own sponsor.

Great news story but do they really need to look so unhappy about it? I can never understand the endless fascination with making Rugby players look so serious in PR merchandising shots when you are trying to sell things. It's not just surly adolescents who buy the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is similar to what I heard, albeit second hand, that they were struggling to pin down a lead sponsor so had to go to production before they knew who was going to be on the front.
