Simple as, make them play somewhere else. The Yorkshire mob are moaning there will be no games over there. Quick response is they should have done better but this might be a solution for everyone.

They could play it at Saints.

We will have a free ground for rent that day.

What an embarrassing situation for the self-styled 'world's biggest RL club'.

Gotcha. So if Saints win, we can't play on the Sunday because you lot have to in order to placate your landlord?

That's even worse - we should refuse to play on Saturday if we win.

Why would it matter to you (Saints) if you had to play Saturday? We afterall would be left with a damp squib of a friendly on the Sunday that nobody would bother about.

I'm loving the blow up on here about it. You all know its a nothing story but because we're playing Saturday it's being made out to be a big deal. I suppose you need to cling on to any small victory no matter how unimportant and meaningless they may be.

Will be interesting if they win.

DW won't let Wigan play on the pitch 24 hours before a Latics home fixture, will he let Latics play on the pitch 24 hours before a WCC?

Embarrasing for Wigan and in turn Rugby League, once again.

Because the RL calendar shouldn't revolve around when Wigan are allowed to play in their rented home? If you can't play at home when you're meant to, move the game.

Didn't they get a positive response when they moved a game to Widnes, once? Might be interesting on the iPitch.

What an embarrassing situation for apparently the worlds 3/4th biggest rl club. Can't even play their potential WCC when scheduled because a second rate, second tier football team play there.

Wigan should hang their heads in shame.

We can, ours is scheduled for Sunday, it's Saints who potentially have to move theirs. (and were the biggest )

As you we'll know there's no issue here. If you win all eyes will be on your showpiece game against Souths on the Saturday night and we'll play a nothing friendly on Sunday. If we win you play your friendly on Saturday and we play the main event Sunday.

No issue, no drama, awful attempt.
