Cheers. Exactly what I wanted to know. Can go do a bit of "well if that happens" and "if they win/lose that then".

Wigan Latics are at home on sep 11th so thats going to screw it up for us, whether we finish 1st or 2nd there will be problems for us...

so there going to have 2nd v 3rd same time as the football?

Ask Bilko he's the man in the know.

you going to widnes or leigh to play it this year then

They won't move Latics so looks like you'll be moving.

Wouldnt surprise me



Nothing comes before the maasive sporting specticle that is Wigan v Sunderland. Thats why i dont understand we moved our Huddersfield game to suit them and Blackpool....

It's up to Whelan entirely.

No its not, when you have a contract with someone for the use fo their facilities and have a scheduled game the owner cant just move it to suit themselves, hence why Wigan had to agree to move the Huddersfield game to the sunday...

surly they will just swap the 6th v 7th game on sunday with the wigan game?

Unfortunatelly until wigan eventually drop down a few leagues the rugby side will always be 2nd in importance its only a matter of time until warrington town take over the hj and we have to change our games

Yep.
I think that is what will happen. Common sense will prevail.

So the owner won't have a say in what goes on to his football team, in his stadium?

As you don't own your stadium and have to work around your towns main team the latics, you should be made to play away



The sooner you get your own ground the better

Rogues makes some reasonable comments on this site, you obviously don't, idiot.

Bit harsh that everything he says is true. Rogues can chat bull at times...

True

You got a nerve when you will be renting the stobart next season, hope none of your games clash with the demics

Off course he has a say but we must have the worst contract in history if he can freely move our games around.

If you finish 1st, why will it be a problem? You will play friday night then the groundstaff will get the pitch reday for the game on the Saturday. Is this arrogance by those in charge that it "was a forgone conclusion" Wigan would finish first, after all the footy fixtures have been out for a couple of weeks.

Calm down wheres all the talk about arrogance??? The problem is they wont let us, especially for a game that would only be confirmed the week before. We have already had to move our Huddersfield game from friday to sunday, as the Latics are now playing at home on the sunday. Not remember when we had to move a play off game to Widnes???

Simple fact is if we finish 1st or 2nd we will interfere with their game.

Sorry mate. By arrogance I simply meant that as the football fixtures have been known for quite a while it seems that the way that the first weekend games are being shown, must have been on the basis that WiganWarriors would come top of superleague and could play on the Friday and not interfer with the Latics game. Why wont they let the games go ahead on the Friday if the Latics dont play til the Saturday. It would be very easy for the staff to get the pitch ready. After our last home game they got the pitch ready for football for the BBC to film a drama series the next day.

By moving the Huddersfield game I assume you mean from Sunday to Friday rather than the other way around. And no, I dont remember you moving a play-off game to Widnes...lol

No the Huddersfield game has been moved from a friday night to a sunday because the Latics are now at home on the saturday. [urlhttp://www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id=5006&type=news[/url They dont like us playing the night before as they say it ruins the pitch and that there isnt enought turn around.

So providing we finishes 1st or 2nd somethings got to give and that will more than likely be us im afraid. You dont remember us going to Widnes for a 'home game' against Bradford in 2008
