Scheduled for Sun 19th April but Sky have just announced that Latics are playing United at 1.30pm that day.

Will the game be allowed for the Friday night? Or will it be shifted to the Monday.

Or should the the home and away fixtures against Celtic just be switched around????? I know some may have already made plans for Bridgend?

Ruddy Sky!!



I hope it will be a case of a Friday night game as like others I have payed out for hotels.

Reported on the Pathetics site that their game with Man Utd has been selected for TV on April 19th , same day as our home game vs Celtic.

However, if Man U get through to the FA cup semi then the wont play.

Leaves us hanging on again.

We truly know our place in the pecking order

Will be our only win all season

(you can go away now trolls)

It would be moved to the Friday if that was true.

Friday night?

At home?

It will be Friday

So unfair, why should we get our game cancelled?

Maybe our game will be played at Leigh

Do we really reckon that Alex Ferguson will allow us to play 2 days before his team of prima donnas ?

Using Whelans theory then surely Latics should play United at an alternative venue. Our fixture was in place first. He wouldn't move for us so we shouldn't move for him.

Has he the power to enforce our fixture being changed???? That is already in place?? Its exactly the same scenario as the Bradford playoff tie, only its the opposite way around.

Sign of the times i'm afraid. Rewind 20 years back - can you ever imagine a situation like today? Athletic's bitches and Castleford hand you a defeat at your "own home". It's inconceivable, it really is.

Yeah welcome to our world

As an outsider looking in, surely Wigan R.L.F.C must rue the day they left Central Park.

Do you really think its up to him?

sure we do...we wouldnt exist now if we hadnt

The Latics had better see if the Reebok is available that day!!!!

Stranger things have happened.

Like it or not, soccer, and its most vocal patrons, have a lot of sway in this country.

One thing is for sure, it aint up to anyone from Wigan RLFC.

Yeah i guess but it's such a shame. You lost your mojo the day you left that place.

Give over!!!

If Sheffield can go out of business and build up again then Wigan RL can do!!!

=whiteOr are you being sarcastic???

We would probably be playing at Edge Hall Road mind!

Sir Alex will have a word with Whelan an insist that no Rugby is played two days before his superstars tred on his turf.

The game will be played at Leigh or Widnes.

If the Warriors are told to make alternative arrangements then IL should tell the owners of the JJB (DW) to go and get fecked as the superleague fixture was specifically arranged for that day to deconflict with the wendyball. To quote Wigan CEO Mick Hogan:

"It will also allow us to stage our first ever 'Community Rugby League Day' where we hope to run a series of activities involving local clubs, schools, businesses, families and other community groups. Sunday is a far better day to be able to involve these groups and will also allow many of our fans who live out of the region to travel to the game with greater ease."

So, I suspect that possibly contracts have been drawn up between the club and local businesses for this event.

If DW suddenly decides that what he said last September isnt relevent any more (and lets be realistic here - he will!), then IL should sue him for breach of tenancy, plus costs of relocating.

Nows the time to show us whether you really have any balls Mr Chairman!

Lets face it. Latics won't be playing on that day as Utd will be in the Cup semi final.

I suspect DW is preying that happens, otherwise he risks being exposed nationally as a hypocritical two-faced c**t! The RL press would have a field day with his comments last year about ground unavailability for Good Friday etc.

don't want to on your chips here but sheffield in one respect isn't a great example. AS of this season they're groundsharing the don valley with Rotherham united and have been kicked off the ground for training during the week in favour of the football team.

Indeed.
