It wasn't off limits, no-one asked, there was nothingnthat was said befire the interview about what was coming up but I guess that's more to do with the formula/aim of that special
The aim is/was to discuss the individuals background and introduction into rugby league, there career at club and then international level, and then post playing career etc which in this instance would lead to other things wigan related but in other instances it wouldn't
In this instance there would I guess be dozens of specific questions, relating to specific subjects that are pertinent to this exact moment, each of which would possibly require more time than we have.
What I will say is that whilst chatting after the recording lots of little subjects were touched on (he mentioned the trouble he'd had with Smithies agent on more than 1 occasion, he mentioned what needed to happen with the Stadium in terms of revamping it and H&S issues that had been left that he will have a major role in sorting, and he mentioned the ticketing situation
It wouldn't be my place to repeat what was said, but he was far from happy about it, explained what ticketmaster were doing with the old ticketing people to resolve it and the accountability all parties are being held to that include compensation and other legal issues.
We did say that we could do a whole other Podcast etc just on the current situation, ownership takeover, marketing, merchandising, ticketing etc etc etc
He didn't seem phased and in time it may be something we approach him about to do.
As an aside, Matty Peet contacted my son today and they've arranged to meet in May and also Peet has expressed interest in arranging interviews with players as well inconjunction and doing other things behind the scenes.
