I fail to see how mondays fixture at the DW would have any impact on the friday. If wigan cant play on monday then the impact would be on that game. Any thing else would cause too much impact.

Follow the logic. Lets say we have widnes on the monday. If we play wigan on monday instead widnes moves to friday. This would impact on their game on friday. Probably against Wire. this would impact on wires other game etc etc until the cirlce is complete of who ever wigan are due to play on monday.

Basically move one game for wigan or move several games until you complete the link with whoever plays wigan on the monday.

The RFL have enough problems planning at the best of times.

As I said.
The easy way. No impact on other clubs.
Wigan v Wire Good Friday
Widnes v Saints Good Friday

Saints v Wigan Easter Monday
Wire v Widnes Easter Monday

All clubs get a home & away fixture over the Easter period. But perhaps that's too simple for some on here.

Actually, the simple solution would be for Wigan to just play on Tuesday. It dosen't have to be Friday and Monday y'know.

I have to say that I would have thought Wigan would jump at the chance of an extra days rest. Most clubs complain about the Easter fixtures as it is!

I'd prefer Good Friday as it means I can have a decent day out, so let's hope sense prevails.

Shunting fixtures around to accommadate football is an embarrassment for the self-styled 'world's biggest RL club'.

Not that we have to worry about moving games when we play in a stadium which is 100% OURS and EXCLUSIVE for Rugby League.

Think you might be in for a disappointment if you think only RL is being played there.

What a truly, truly pathetic thread.

Everybody knows St Helens Town is playing there as well but they are playing there at our convenience - in order to continue with Sport England funding - and not because we are subservient to a soccer club, which is the case for the mighty Wigan RLFC. If Saints want to play a game they play a game when they want to and Town have to sort out an alternative.

Incidentally, lots and lots of things are due to go on at Langtree Park. As our Chairman recently said, it is an events stadium where rugby league is sometimes played.

So what I wrote in reply to the person who said it was going to be an exclusively RL stadium was correct then. Thanks for clearing that up. BTW your first sentence is wrong as there's at least one person who didn't know St Helens Town were going to play there, hence my reply.

Nope. It is exclusively a rugby league stadium. A rugby league club owns it. Thus, it is exclusively a rugby league stadium.

It isn't a concert hall because concerts might be played there.
It isn't a church because weddings might be held there.
It isn't a night club because parties might go on into the night.
It isn't a youth club because young people may meet there and do stuff.

It is exclusively a rugby league stadium because it is owned by a rugby league club. It's just that other things go on there as well.

You're just being extremely silly.
