Warrior Sendoff

[josie andrews]

Over 1000 Wigan fans gave the players a massive Wembley send off from the DW Stadium on Thursday lunchtime.

Fans started arriving from as early as 10.30am to get a view of the players boarding the bus.

Players, families and club staff held a sendoff brunch in Rigalettos before the team boarded the bus and departed at 12.30pm.

Warriors Captain Sean O'Loughlin said:

"We are overwhelmed at the level of support we have received this week. To see shops decorated in cherry & white and to see so many people attend both the fan day on Saturday and today's sendoff was fantastic. I'd like to thank everyone who turned up and hopefully we can repay their support this weekend."

The team will now head to their team hotel on the outskirts of London to finalise their preparations for Saturday's game.

I think Lockers has been shopping somewhere different to me! I don't get into town very often but went in today and was amamzed at the lack of decoration in the shop windows. The Uncle Joe's shop was about it.
