Shall we start a sweepstake on who'll be first to mention them re-opening to let people out at half time?

no lets for once hope that this gesture is met with the credibility it deserves, and the respect it deserves.

Yep, I think it's a spot on gesture by the club.

Well done Wigan.

More importantly, the stewards should be blocking all entrances to the seats from the concourse between 7:55 and 8:00pm.

Any disruption to the minutes silence will not be from late arrivals, it will be from people racing to their seats at the last minute with a pie and a pint.

Why do we need to do anything differently? Every minute's silence I've seen at the JJB (and there are too many IMO, but that is a different argument) has been impeccably respected. Mind you, I do occupy the classier West Stand!

I have never been at an RL ground anywhere where the minutes silence hasn't been respected. It's another proud tradition of TGG.
