It would be interesting to see the comments of Wigan fans on how to voice our feelings about the shamboloic way the whole episode of the venue for the Wigan V Saints quarter final has been handled.

What would make IL,Whelan,BBC and Sky sit up and take notice.

Unless its at the DW then i think a lot of fans will stay awayout of shear frustration

I will certainly not be going to the game if it is anywhere but the JJB Stadium. I certainly do not blame the BBC for wanting to show the plum tie of the round, a privilege which they have paid to show. Indeed if it had happened in previous seasons, before Sky got secondary rights, then the scenario would have been exactly the same and no one would be taking about swapping to a Friday night game.

IF IT IS MOVED I'm sure we can come up with some interesting banners, flags, starting this Friday on TV.

The silence from the club is deafening.

We need to know the facts.

Is there really a 24 hour rule?

What is the logistics of getting the stadium ready for another game and why cant this be done in a day?

Dig these out from when we played Bradford at Widnes

The RFL are managing it for MM weekend, only difference a few more yards of white lines, catering , cleaning, divots , mowing pitch etc will all be done in a shorter turn round.

I agree mate but without having facts on the actual rules about how long is permissable between games we cannot input any valuable solutions.

As I have said I would be quite happy to volunteer to clear up the terraces on the Saturday to have it ready for the Latics game on the Sunday - but what are the facts?

Stay away from a Wigan v Saints game? Madness.

Why?

Kick 50 rugby balls onto the field from each corner of the stadium for latics next game. Imagine the game being put on hold while they clear rugby balls off the field, it would be on MOTD!

If the BBC insist on having the game on Saturday and if that means it is not a the DW then I will watch it on BBC!

I don't care about Whelan, he doesn't care about me.All I care about is Wigan Rugby

I'll be going if it's at Leigh, Bolton or Wigan no way am I letting Whelan make me miss a Wigan v Saints cup quarter final. As Wane has said, we'll play them anywhere, any time. All that matters to me is a win.

Thats great but if you think that some people (and there are a lot of them - me included) are unhappy about the situation now - just wait and see what opinion is like if we are forced to play away from home and we get beaten.

Now that would be interesting

IF we are forced to move it, not only am i not goin, im not going any more home games until Whelan dies.
i

thats just daft, maybe dont buy any refreshments etc, but not watching your team???

There's more chance of Wiganer's voting a tory council in than not buying a pie and pint inside the DW.

Hahaha

no home games = more away games.

time to make a stand

What's makes it worse is we are about to get (further) into bed with the football team.

This isn't gonna get any better before it gets any worse.

My feelings?
Frigging livid. Mockery of Wigan. Mockery of Wigan RL. Mockery of RL.

Hope it's at the DW, but if it's not. It's not. That's life.

So speaks a Latics fan.

Sorry ... but this situation is only going to make the dislike so many rugby fans already hold for the football club even worse. And at a time when quite a few folk were gradually warming (or at least growing indifferent) towards them.

At this rate, I can't see a time ever arriving when the majority of people in Wigan like their football team, let alone support them.

Meaning?
