| I am surprised that "fearless" Wigan have not suggested playing at Saints to make sure there is a good attendance.

Its amazing they were given a grade A license...when they can be booted out at anytime by Mr DW.
They are quite literally....Dave Whelan's rent boys.

| Lets be honest a league fixture in Super League means relatively little but a league fixture in the Premiership with relegation at stake means a lot more so Wigan RLFC have to accept their place in the pecking order for this one, Latics are more important.

Even if we do turn over more money than they do.

There is no rule about them playing at the DW on Saturday just Mr DW doesnt want them to.
Central park has fallen down poor old wiggan build it up with pie and peas.

| I've been laughing ever since I heard the first pie try to blame the RFL for the fact they have to wait for Latics to tell them whether they can play games at home or not.
Have we ever had to play a home fixture at another ground? Maybe after the fire in the main stand? Honest question.

At Wigan after main stand had burnt down due to scorched pitch and at Maine Road in about 1986 to utilise under-pitch heating as country in middel of deep-freeze are the ones I remember.

| Still can't believe the venue hasn't been announced by the rent boys - talk about rugby league being a joke, makes our game a laughing stock!

| Are people seriously suggesting that Wigan should build their own stadium, when they have a perfectly serviceable one at their disposal?
The scheduling of the Challenge Cup is at fault, to my mind. The first 'proper' round was on the same weekend as the FA Cup semi finals and the Grand National, now the quarter finals clash with the last weekend of the Premier League. In addition, I seem to recall this Super League season kicked off the same weekend as the Six Nations. I'm not saying the RFL should bow to other sports, but with all the moaning about media coverage that goes on, they hardly make it easy for themselves.

Why would you be surprised? We have more income streams than they do. They get nothing whatsoever from any events at the DW, and as they don't own it they can't rent it out.

Turnover isn't really relevant, profit is.
Wigan's income streams will change quite a bit in the next few years. Will it be profitable, IL thinks so, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Until about 3 years ago we didn't even get the full revenue from our kit sales.

Your current problem is that this little spat about the cup match has done a fair bit of damage, with some of the usual idiots on your site talking of a cup boycott. IL has lost a bit of credibility here through no fault of his own. The only issue I would have with the matter is that there has been no communication with the supporters, the draw isn't even mentioned on the official Wigan site, never mind the venue. If they want to make more money they will have to improve their communication skills. Interesting to see that Leeds are subsidising transport to Leigh for their match. Maybe Wigan should do the same to whatever venue their QF match is held.
