Im listening to the game online tonight whilst watching the saints game. And what do i see on the saints advertising boards, but Mecca bingo in quite a few places. I dont think its right that they advertise/give money to our biggest rivals whilst calling themselves as our main sponsor myself.

Anyone else feel similarly?

Yeah just posted about it in the other thread






[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

It just felt wrong for some reason like theyre our sponsor but clearly dont understand the feeling between the two clubs. I guess it shows theyre interested in rugby league as a whole but still it just didnt feel right when i saw it

No, Mecca can spend their money where they like and buy the advertising they like. However as the main sponsor of Wigan they are tied to Wigan, it does look odd that a sponsor tied to Wigan are looking after Saints. It could be worse, it's not like Saints have any former Wigan youth team in their side is it?
