The Women's final is being played on the opposite side of the city, which means by the time the game has finished, fans then have to make their way across the city to Old Trafford, probably missing the or most of the pre match entertainment!
Why they couldn't have had both games at Old Trafford is beyond me!
Tbh and it won't be a popular opinion but they need to stop pushing the women's game on to the fans. I'm sick of seeing posts about it on the Wigan Warriors board and everything the official site does adds that Amanda woman.Caboosegg wrote:Missed opportunity in my opinion here.

It isn't a different sport though is it? It's still rugby league.Josie's friend wrote:Tbh and it won't be a popular opinion but they need to stop pushing the women's game on to the fans.

U16's, U19's and reserve news all effect the real Wigan RL side, the women's team does not and them singing "we are Wigan warriors" after a win (When even the fans respect that this is just for players) is taking the piss.
I know this will come across badly but I support Wigan and all that makes this team, I don't care about the women's side in the same way I don't care about Wigan Athletic. It has nothing to do with sex, you can't just brand something Wigan and expect all fans to get excited.
I hope they do well and their sport grows but don't do it off the back of the team I actually love. The UFC/MMA is a shinning example of women becoming so skilled that the organisations had to add them to the main card. Nothing was forced.
Remember I said this won't be a popular opinion but the Grand Final is a special day out were the team along with the fans have gone through a lot to get there. It's not an opportunity to push another sport, when ours is in such a state.
Sorry you feel this way about the Women's game. To say that Wigan only started a Women's team right at the end of last year, they have done extremely well against teams that have had teams for several years.Josie's friend wrote: Tbh and it won't be a popular opinion but they need to stop pushing the women's game on to the fans.
