SaintsFan, your council FUNDED stadium is a £5m cock up. Enjoy. Oh, and by the way, donations from Sports England do not count as income!

I can see the green of jealousy all the way over this side of the Lump.

Good! The taxman can't touch a penny of it then

This is the most pointless thread ever All this because Chair Maker decided to post nothing but a rumour that he'd heard?...Solid grounds for some of the crap that i've read on this thread....

The good friday game will be played as usual on good friday and wigan will just have to play on Tuesday. The official fixtures aren't out yet but i have no doubt that's the way it will go. You are deluded if you think the RFL would change your home game just to suit us, Infact its quite funny that even just the thought of the RFL making this change to help us has got you all so wound up!.. Doesn't take much to get you lot chomping at the bit does it? Like people have said, If Wigan can't play at home on monday, it's our problem not yours so stop moaning

It's nice that you have your own great looking stadium where you can dictate who plays when and where.... but it was only last season you had to make your own fixture requests to the RFL because at that point you couldn't play your "home" games at widnes for god knows how long. POT KETTLE BLACK!

Agree with all that Robbo but trying to use last season as a leveller on the fact that our ground was being built is laughable frankly. That time has now passed, whereas it will continue for the rest of your 999 year lease or however long it is.

To be perfectly honest once Latic's have been relegated, sank like a stone and Whelans pockets are starting to empty faster than Bellisconi's in a brothel..I have a funny feeling favour as far as fixtures are concerned will soon turn to what he see's most profitable. Although regardless of that, it is still a rubbish position to be in.

Did you ask Wigan Athletic and the FA if you could post that on here?

One of, we've had plenty of others believe me, but yes pointless.

blah blah... has got you all so wound up! Doesn't take much to get you lot chomping at the bit does it?

It hasn't got us ALL wound up, or chomping at the bit, just a number of posters. Be careful you don't tar everyone with the same brush.

This just nonsense!
Wigan won the last Good Friday game at Knowsley Rd and will want to win the first one at Langtree Park more than anything.
Wigan are the last people who'd want to shift the game from Good Friday!
It's Saints' fixture not Wigan's, so it's not an issue.
The Monday game is Wigan's fixture and problem which has now been sorted.
