Dave T Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) So. Wire got off to a very clunky start. Lathums were great, but having them on in the away end while the players warmed up didn't quite work. As a quality act, they deserved to be centre stage instead of tucked away with average sound. It wasn't dissimilar to what we do at the Grand Final. I thought as a season opener it was low key, we have capability for lights shows and I thought we should have used that to create an event, but it didn't happen and it was all a bit meh. I don't want to be too critical as I appreciate the effort, but I think they need to have a coordinator to pull this together as an event. But overall it was very enjoyable, but has the potential to be great. Edit. As an aside, have they scrapped the whole club flags, and lineups prior to kick off?

Madrileño Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Unless I have missed it, the Lopards game promo video hasn't been posted on the thread. It is pretty good, I have to say. Really decent effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make an effort but its like its left with someone who has plenty of other work to do or someone not qualified or experienced enough to consistently produce match day (and promoted) experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something I find a tad frustrating at Wire considering who our owner is! I hope Leigh put on a great show tonight and set the standard. I expected the lights to be down last night and more coordinated music etc. It was a 6/10 event, when we should be looking for 8's minimum and even better for season launches. But, it was a start, i hope they continue. What I would say is that the ground is great with that size crowd in, and the atmosphere was the best I've heard for a while at Wire.

I always find Manchester bars/pubs strangely accommodating when it comes to watching RL. I say strangely because many would have you believe nobody cares for it over there and I know Friday especially there's not much competition, live sports wise, but still gives me hope...maybe one day we'll crack it there! nb. I saw Scouting For Girls at Kendal Calling festival last summer - they don't take themselves too seriously and the lead singer is great at getting the crowd involved. Did I sing hum a long to a couple of their noughties tracks...maybe I did maybe I didn't, but the weather was warm, the beer was flowing...etc Edited February 17, 2023 by hunsletgreenandgold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, IMG have scrapped all that pointless standing around at the beginning and want the time between captains entering the field to kick off to be 30 seconds to a minute, excellent decision as any pre game atmosphere was thwarted by stood around for 4 minutes while the players stood there looking uncomfortable.

Damien Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Well done Leigh on making their opening game a real event and it came across great on TV. They've got a lot of stick for elements of their rebrand, and rightly so for some aspects in my opinion, but they've gone all in and backed themselves which is far more than many clubs have done when they rebranded and they should be applauded for that. Anyhow I think this says it all: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
