Another press release I got a couple of days ago was this one:
SOUTH WALES SCORPIONS v WIGAN WARRIORS
THE BIG KICK-OFF
Sunday 21 February, kick-off 2.30pm. The Gnoll, Neath.
Tickets priced £8 for adults, £4 concessions.
Season tickets from £30 concessions and £60 for adults available now from http://www.scorpionsrl.com
The big kick-off is apporaching and we’re pleased to announce that one of the biggest names in rugby league will be there to face us.
Wigan Warriors will be our first visitors to The Gnoll and they are promising to bring a mixture of first team and under 20 squad members to make this a competitive match.
Speaking about the game, Wigan Warriors Chief Executive Mick Hogan said: “We are delighted to have been asked to play the game in South Wales, it will be a useful workout for us and our under 20’s side. We will send as strong a squad as possible to make it a memorable day for the Scorpions Club.”
I hope the fixture is a success but after saying this what sort of team will Wigan send? The other week at Leigh they sent an under-20s side with very limited first team experience. It was a hard fought win for Leigh and Wigan have some great kids but it was not the side they promised when they agreed a three year deal with Leigh for friendlies in 2009. Who knows what team Wigan will send? They might just call on the Under-16s!
