If the Warriors are told to make alternative arrangements then IL should tell the owners of the JJB (DW) to go and get fecked as the superleague fixture was specifically arranged for that day to deconflict with the wendyball. To quote Wigan CEO Mick Hogan:

"It will also allow us to stage our first ever 'Community Rugby League Day' where we hope to run a series of activities involving local clubs, schools, businesses, families and other community groups. Sunday is a far better day to be able to involve these groups and will also allow many of our fans who live out of the region to travel to the game with greater ease."

So, I suspect that possibly contracts have been drawn up between the club and local businesses for this event.

If DW suddenly decides that what he said last September isnt relevent any more (and lets be realistic here - he will!), then IL should sue him for breach of tenancy, plus costs of relocating.

Nows the time to show us whether you really have any balls Mr Chairman!

Lets face it. Latics won't be playing on that day as Utd will be in the Cup semi final.

I suspect DW is preying that happens, otherwise he risks being exposed nationally as a hypocritical two-faced c**t! The RL press would have a field day with his comments last year about ground unavailability for Good Friday etc.

Give over!!!

If Sheffield can go out of business and build up again then Wigan RL can do!!!

Or are you being sarcastic???



We would probably be playing at Edge Hall Road mind!

don't want to mickey on your chips here but sheffield in one respect isn't a great example. AS of this season they're groundsharing the don valley with Rotherham united and have been kicked off the ground for training during the week in favour of the football team.

I don't think I have ever wanted Man U to get to the semi finals of the FA cup like I do now.

ffs........ive just introduced my 2 yr old to the game, and afternoons are the only games that arnt past his bedtime.

i took him to the wakey, and was looking at celtic as next one.....

its time lenighan made a stand.......our fixture was scheduled way before sky decided to stick their nose in.

tell you what.....lets call whelans bluff.
let whelan tell sky the grounds booked for a RUGBY MATCH...and let latics find another ground if they want to play sunday.

i also feel that season ticket holders can ask for a part refund if fixtures are moved.........i havnt read the small print though.
lets all bombard the ticket office with requests for part refunds......might bring the ticket hotlines into meltdown........and its a peaceful protest as well.

[quote="JTS"]Sir Alex will have a word with Whelan an insist that no Rugby is played two days before his superstars tred on his turf.

The game will be played at Leigh or Widnes.[/quote]

in which case i definitely urge all fans to apply for a partial refund on season tickets and lets stop letting whelan shat on us

Give over it wont happen, but 12500 in the LSV with all the facilities for sport to hand would be a great day for you guys, we are in Toulouse that weekend, you know the team to enter SL in 2012. Plus we should have finished the snagging on the stadium by then.
