involve 4 junior teams on the field before and at half time , look after them during the game and do a presentation after the game . these kids will bring with them parents and relatives who all pay to watch the big game . dead easy really but they dont like running after the kids do they

4 x teams @ 11 a side = 44 x 2 parents =88 x £14 = ?? plus the kids and adults might come back . and if you rotate the teams from around the wigan and leigh area's it starts to multiply . plus it gives the crowd entertainment which the parents have paid for

the lsv are not that clever

To be fair, I get regualr emails from Ryan as I am sure you do inviting kids games at half time.

However, having done one half time game I don't think I will be encouraging our team to do any more. It felt a bit off telling parents that they had to pay £32 a family (plus any further kids) to watch their kid get a 5 minute run around at half time. I agree that a proper "Curtain Raiser" like in the older days at HP would be more meaningful and entertaining and perhaps provide some kind of family deal ticket for the players' families.

Have kids games as a curtain raiser. Half-time is all about spin and kick competitions
