Was that a Jaguar on Derek's coat?

Looked like a cougar...or maybe the sort of coat a cougar would wear?

Ahem...

[Man of Kent]

Live music before games is a winner. More, please.

Jon Wells yelling RICKY down a dark street like some EastEnders cosplay 

[Gerrumonside ref]

This is a long walk!

[daz39]

Chasing players down a dark street ?? what the hell that's different!!

[Spidey]

I’ve tuned in a bit late. Have Leigh gone for a walk round Pennington Flash or something?

[Man of Kent]

There’s a definite change in Sky style going on. More in your face.

At one stage, I genuinely thought they were walking to Pennington Flash.

Derek's sent them hunting for Jaguars

Ah all makes sense now - had a trot to Leigh East while the pitch is hosting a bonfire

[EagleEyePie]

Are Leigh doing their pre-match warm up on the other side of Wigan borough? Wells was chasing them for miles

Anyone think they're trying to up their game having seen the plaudits Channel 4 have been getting for their coverage?

No other clubs would pay for it - but Degsy is rubbish blah blah.

Nah, you don't want a good atmosphere, puts too much pressure on the team, you should play next door at Leigh East and only let their regular supporters in, keep the crowd down, take the pressure off.

I was only joking but... 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Wow!  Genuinely like the pyrotechnics

Just a loud noise to me.

Music it aint

[Eddie]

Up until this evening a part of me still thought the new jersey was a great joke, but I’ve finally realised it’s real. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Well a lot of us mocked Leigh but they’ve laid down a marker

[Eddie]

Massive respect to Leigh for this, no doubt the usual misery guts will slate it but it looks like a proper event. 

[EagleEyePie]

Not sure I'd like to be wearing that mascot costume around all those flames. Might need another new mascot before the end of the night

That's typical for their NFL coverage. Like it or not live sport is taking more influence from the colonies.

No they want to be dis-associated with Wigan, must have been Bolton.

100%. There’s a slight move away from old farts in jackets studio chat

No just the second half. What did Wire lay on?
