Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

We let Whelan into our Wembley dressing room, join our celebrations and we get this crap in return. For some hopefully not man playersy, playing at the DW in a final could have been the pinnacle of their careers.

Been told that it's not all Whelan but Wigan Warriors who won't pay for the stadium & the staff, stewards, turnstile operators, bars staff etc!!!

If that is the case Josie then IL ought to be ashamed of himself.

Been told by whom?

And IL has not been the only Chairman to carry out a disgraceful decision of this kind since we have played at the DW.

The RFL are also to blame for insisting that the final be played on a professional ground when for this level, the normal ground of a team would be good enough. In our case, a ground which when used by Orrell RU held more supporters than possibly we would get for the game.
