Most likely DW will now be looking to take credit as the man who graciously stepped in to help Wigan because the cruel BBC wouldn't. And if IL's diplomatic skills are any good, he'll let him.

or at least an announcement that there will be an announcement..

You make him sound like Stalin - he's a rich man who used to have a shop that sold cheap tat to chavs, not the leader of the western world.

I wouldn't pee on him if he was on fire.

Firstly I would like an announcement about the announcement of why an announcement was never made in the first place to announce where the game would be played.

Followed by an announcement for the time of the announcement announcing where the game will be played.

Finally an announcement for all future announcements on this announcement topic.

I don't think I am asking too much. I buy a season ticket, I DESERVE announcements!!!!!

I hope you told who you need to the venue before 2:30 today.....

.....B4:20 Subject to Operational Rule B4:16, and unless otherwise provided for under the format of the
Cup, the Club drawn first in the ballot shall have the choice of ground and:
(a) it may request to play at an alternative ground, including the ground of the opposing

(b) no Club shall request or pay or make or offer to make or accept or agree to accept any
monetary or other consideration (excluding the normal share of gate revenues) for

and =#FF4040any proposed alternative choice of ground shall be notified to the Chief Executive no later

which choice shall be binding on the Clubs concerned. =#FF4040If any Club does not comply with this
Operational Rule or breaks its terms, it shall be guilty of Misconduct.....


Kick em out!!!!!!!

I think a lot of people in Wigan would love the chance to pee on him, after first setting fire to him !!!!!

Great to see you welcoming this news, if true.

If only

Yeah but we could of let the Chief Executive know on Tuesday he then has 48 hours so its his fault SACK HIM

If this goes on much longer it will turn into another thread like the one about Chris Joynt's voluntary tackle

We're not proposing a change of venue.

You believe Mick Gledhill? Really?

Sack em all just to make sure....

I need more Announcements

I would like to announce that I am having gammon for my tea, there, that's a start I suppose.

never said i belive thats what the apparently was for

ah.......is that only a half truth, what are you having with it, half an announcement is worse than no announcement at all

Now you're getting closer to the truth.

I have to announce that if it's at the DW, I'm not going in protest, at having to stay at home whilst the missus swans off to a friends Hen do!

I feel the Beeb and the RFL should all be shot for not consulting on this fixture clash, it's been in my diary for months.

I still feel we'll be waiting until Tuesday before we know for certain. not much time to get tickets or anything sorted but there ya go. I imagine they will be getting Widnes or Leigh sorted out just incase Wigan Athletic aren't safe Tuesday morning.

either way whatever happens I hope the club offer cheap tickets and a cheap price on the gate to make up for giving such short notice, otherwise it will be a very empty DW stadium.

All this farting around already leaves a bad taste in the mouth and I would guess that i there isnt to be reduced tickets on offer the attendance could be worse than last years play off game.

You're sick.

I'm waiting for DW to allow me to have egg & chips with it, it may clash with him having an omelette tomorrow, I'll make an announcement later.

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