They wanted 20k for this game, they'll be lucky to get half that.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions
Eddie Hemmings stated that he'd been talking to IL before the game and said that our chairman was desperate....absolutely desperate to come away the the win today.
Surely questions are being asked back doors

Some kind of community initiative, it was mentioned at the Fans' Forum. At the time I thought no way will we get 20k for that game.

At present it would cost too much to sack Noble, but, if attendances start to become affected ( and this looks likely ), the situation changes and his position will be considerably under more pressure.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

Otherwise, it will be up in 6 months, it won't cost that much.
If hes on £200k a year then its 100k at least to pay him up. IMO its worth paying because that money is going to get paid anyway but theres a big risk of us not making the top 8 under Noble.
