we are not yet even close to the stage we were when we had to find a venue to play bradford in 2008 as then we had to wait until Wire had played on the 6th. If they won or drew we would have been away, they lost and we got a home tie which was 6 days notice............. we will still have 5 days next week to get tickets and we know it is on Saturday and will be at home or at least within a 20 mile radius...............

I am sorted,just got a main stand seating ticket for £9-00 (consession)for the Leigh v Leeds match next Friday,I will watch the Wigan match on the BBC.

I wouldn't be surprised if the venue isn't confirmed until late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. In the meantime I'm not going to get worked up about something I have no control over, especially so as I can't make it anyway.

Can't we have a Poll/Vote for who's had the Biggest over reaction on here please?

As a fan that is considering travelling from afar for this game. I have to say I feel let down by both Wigan and the RFL.

The contempt for the fans of both clubs and also towards St Helens is sickening. Wigan expect Saints to start ticket sales on say Monday/Tuesday or whenever the hell Wigan and the RFL make this decision. For me personally I can not pick up a ticket from langtree next week. The club will probably not have time to post me a ticket. I can not take advantage of cheap rail travel because the game is possibly going to be held at Leigh and there is not much point booking if I do not know for sure i can get a ticket.

I appreciate there is an issue with football and realistically this could have been avoided if they had played the quarter finals on another weekend, but at the end of the day that is not Saints fault. Wigan should have been given to the end of say yesterday to name a venue by the RFL. If they could not do this they should have surrendered home advantage to us. Much as I would have hated such a scenario as I believe they would have turned up with a siege mentality and been seriously difficult to beat.

This was meant to be the tie of the round, and to be honest I think both sets of fans feel really disillusioned with the way they have been treated. I for one am pretty sure I will not attend the game now, whereas when the draw was made I felt really pumped up and excited about it.

Come on RFL show some bottle and make the right decision.

the later the venue is named the more likely it will decrease the size of the crowd. We all know that it will be on Saturday and so those who can make it will as it is not the players fault and it is those players that we give our support to. If you are unhappy with Dave Whelan then boycott things that will have an effect on him and don't punish our own team

Both Bilko & Leyther Matt have been very quiet on this subject. As they are generally ITK, would either care to amplify on what's happening?

Whats happening is the club are in talks with both HJ and LSV about which will be the best deal for Wigan. The game will be played at one of these 2 grounds

Imagine the RAGE on this bopard if Saints were messing us about by not declaring the Venue

He, like me, will be sick to the back teeth of being asked about it to tell the truth but thats life! To be honest you all know as much as me.

I fail to lay the blame solely at Wigan RLs door. How dare they be drawn at home!

The problem lies with DW for being so unaccomodating and with the RFL for not forseeing this situation and having alternate arrangements in place.

Windy has just tweeted that the game is at the DW with a 2:30 kick off.

Who/What is "Windy" ???

Seems to me that they are waiting to comment when they actually know something...

He's the little fella who owns that run down old windmill down Camberwick Green.

It's at the DW I just got an email!

It states on the forward schedule for BBC TV Saturday 12th of May,
Wigan v St Helens BBC1 14-15 with Clare Balding, venue not shown.

Sorry about the editing,for some daft reason I put 22-15.

Who from?

Whittle.

What a coincidence. I just got an email too but mine is from a Nigerian Prince. I've transferred some money and when my million pounds comes in I'll pay DW to allow us to play there. Panic no more people, I'm in control of the situation.

I've just checked with Windy and his source is impeccable

You wally! That sounds like a scam!

Definitely Whittle.

NOOOOO!! I'm helping him too!!!
