Of course they have, they just haven't told us yet. Stop being so naive.

No feasible
The pitch still needs a lot of work doing on it and IF Latics are in the play offs they could be playing at home until around 20th May depending on where they finish.

Sale are also at home that weekend so I'd imagine the stadium owners would have opposed it anyway, especially at this short notice.

Once again we appear to be getting shafted by a 3rd division football team

It's all about the money. Even with that shower in the lower leagues, they're still probably bringing in more than we do with a full house. One of the only ways to get our ire noticed would be to concertedly spam Lenagan and/or the main sponsors (especially the local ones) until they get so p'd off they'd have to do something - if only offer proper refunds & not just a tenner off next season's pass.
Just for the record - Sale Sharks got hold of my address from somewhere a while ago & wouldn't/couldn't remove me from their mailing so I forwarded everything I got to their chairman, FO, all the coaches I could find & everyone associated with anything insisting they get their IT in order & stop spamming me. The IT manager subsequently got so much grief she was begging me to stop. I did when they did.
Sometimes being a bit shouty and a PITA does work.

I tend to use the freepost credit card application envelopes i get to get rid of all the takeaway menu's that come through my door, usually in tiny pieces

childish but it amuses me

its been moved to thursday

Sensible option.
Wigan would have preferred Sunday but obviously Salford weren't keen as they have a Thursday game. Salford play Widnes this Sunday coming.

It would be nice to think the club would now show the game live on Wigan TV to appease those of us who can't make it up on Thursdays

Any games moved away from the DW would be a problem for me and the dozen or so kids I bring up on the train from Swinton

I don't think that will be allowed by Sky/Superleague, although it is a very good idea. See you Saturday, don't spend too long dancing in the pub on Friday night.

The only positive out of this farce is that we are not playing it on the plastic at Widnes, it is now getting beyond a joke with the Plastics calling all the shots, we need to start standing our ground ( no pun intended ), where would the DW be without rugby, shafted , we need to start looking at building our own ground,
6 Thursday night games already before any super eight or play off games, no wonder crowds will drop !

They're still playing Sunday/Thursday, just a week earlier. Surprised they agreed to this given it was a problem the following week???????

Suspect they were told to by RFL

One very simplistic solution (I'm a simple man!) - why don't Wigan Warriors buy the ground off Latics? As far as I am aware, Welan gave the ground to Latics (could be wrong) so it would be a nice cheque for them! We could then call the shots about who could play when.

The ground is still a very nice earner for Whelan. There's not a kitten in a blender's chance that he and/or the Pathetics would give that up.
There's no surprise that nothing in the announcement even indirectly refers to the soccer match as the rationale. Thus not providing any sticks for to beat them with and allowing them to hide behind marketing bovine excrement.
Already had my two-penn'orth via the sweet little anodyne "contact us" page, if everyone griping here did the same, at least they might actually realise that perhaps this is getting more than little annoying: and they'd not be able to hide behind supporter apathy.

Wigan council own 41%

This shows a change of attitude by the football club since DW moved over. For all the positive platitudes voiced by IL about the football club I have yet to see anything at all coming from the other direction. The new owner seems to be keen to curry favour from his hard core fans.

I've already emailed the club reference this. I have friends arriving from Belgium to watch this game, flights booked and paid for and tickets purchased. The way the club has treated its supporters over the past couple of years is disgraceful. I will definitely not be renewing my season ticket next year, I will pick and choose my matches, if this is the only way I can get my point across then so be it.

Long distance fans shafted again . Nice one thanks for nowt

Regards EW

Just about ready to walk away . Should play all games on Thursday that's the way it's heading. Just as well all my arrangements for Saturday are non refundable or they could shock that as well

Totally racked off

The club knowing all these problems exist but keep quiet because it might effect season ticket sales is bordering on theft .

Regards . EW

The club doesn't care one iota about its fans anymore, we are no longer supporters, just numbers on a monthly invoice

That little snipped of T&Cs reads like those of a shady loans company, not a sports club aiming to attract, retain and entertain "fans".

It is no surprise many ST holders have jacked it in when you get this kind of treatment. No fans, no club.
