Hope he gets a good reception tomorrow night. I for one am eternally grateful for him bringing the stability that we sorely missed at the club. Hope he does well with the Crusaders, massive challenge for him.

I'm sure Nobby will get a great reception from the fans tomorrow night. He will always be remembered for guiding us away from relegation "the great escape". It will be an great opportunity for the fans to show their appreciation of his time at Wigan.

I fully agree, if nothing else he took us from certain relegation to 80 minutes away from both finals

Great if we could get "Theres only one brian noble" going, im sure he would appreciate it

Personally i'd be embarrassed if we sung theres only one brian noble.

I wouldnt be embarassed but a standing ovation would suffice.

It's going to be hard for anybody bar the people sat in the west stand to give him any sort of reception really. It's not like he's going to be announced onto the field for the fans to applaud him and the games not on Sky so his face won't be flashing up on the screen every 2 minutes.

I'd imagine it'll be a pretty low key welcome back with a few rounds of applause from the West stand and a few pats on the back. I can't see the Stadium erupting into singing his name.

Singing "There's only one Brian Noble" hhhmmm - is that not kinda disrespectful to the new regime?

Don't get me wrong, if I was going tommorrow (my 21st party so I can't) I'd participate in giving him, what is essentially, a well deserved warm welcome. However, singing his name and whatnot is far too OTT.

Exactly, it's a new season, let's look at what's ahead not what's behind. A few rounds of "Mike McGuire's barmy army" and refraining from singing "Cheer up Brian Noble" should do it.

I agree and tomorrow he is the enemy. End of story.

My appreciation for his efforts at Wigan have been said. Now it's a new management team and we move on.

I hope we muller them tomorrow.

He was great for the club and took us as far as he could, I will always be grateful for what he did here.

Now he has gone, I wish him the best with his new team, I hope they can be really succesful.

As for tomorrow, I hope we put 40 on them and see his sad face at the end, along with some pathetic explanation to why they lost.

As already said many times by other fans BN saved us from certain relegation, I will always hold him in high regard for that and yes he took us close to two Grand finals but the past is the past. MM is the new man at wigan who can hopefully bring the good times back to Wigan.

Tomorrow Night is the start of hopefully a new glorious beginning and if the players what to be sucessful as they say they should want to put as many past the crusaders as they can never mind who coaches them.

COME ON WIGAN!!!!!!
