Travelling Wigan Fans Refunded and Rugby League All Star Game Rule Changes

WIGAN REPAY FANS

Wigan Athletic Football Club have vowed to refund the fans which traveled to White Hart Lane to witness the 9-1 massacre against Tottenham. The Wigan players felt they let their most loyal fans down and admitted the result was "embarrassing". If I was a fan I would have been disappointed and felt like the trip was a waste of time and money. I now pose the question to you all. Do you recall any other sporting fixture throughout the history of sport that fans should have had their money refunded to them? A recent one would have to be the Irish fans that traveled to France to watch their team get screwed by a handball decision which cost them a spot in the World Cup. Have your say. Has it ever happened to you?

HAVE YOUR SAY

The Rugby League All Star Game between the All Stars and the Indigenous All Stars will feature new rules and some new broadcast features. The first new rule being brought to the February 13 fixture is that after a try is scored a team can either choose to:

1. kick for goal OR
2. take one play and go for the extra try. Which will result in an extra four points to the teams total. 

This is heading along the lines of the NFL. In the NFL they either take the one point field goal or get one play to try for the two point conversion. How do we think this is going to go? I think it could be exciting. It would be interesting to see some of the plays coaches come up with to score in one play. I think the NRL is trying to make the game more exciting and who knows it could one day decide a match. I don't think a team would use it much unless the game was on the line or a team felt they had their opposition on the ropes. On the All Star night there will be four referees. If they can't get it right on the night they never will! I'd love to see a stuff up. The coaches on the night will also be wearing microphones for the home viewer to listen to, and the one I love the most is that the video ref will be explaining his decision to the broadcast team. If Phil Gould is involved there could be some heated arguments going on in the box. How good would that be? It's all set for an interesting night. 

FLASH MOBBING

Flash Mobbing is a sport in its own right. It is performed in a team, at the one location on a specific day and time. It is unreal to watch. It happens all over the world. Just recently there was one held in Australia, at the famous Bondi Beach. Check it out below. If you enjoy this one be sure to check out others on www.youtube.com
