Was there such a reaction from Wigan when they had to shift a play-off game to Widnes?

Shouldn't they be taking this up with that old geezer at Wigan Athletic?

| Ian Lenagan commented:
"[iIt is excellent to be able to demonstrate publicly the togetherness and strength of football and rugby in Wigan. Having watched personally the Wigan Athletic games against Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Fulham recently, one can touch and feel the respect for the performances of Wigan Athletic as well as Wigan Warriors. I now look forward to great crowds watching both teams together that weekend at the DW Stadium[/i."
Will he ever see daylight again? Maybe when Whelan goes for a dump! |

| Thought I'd have a look what happened last time and
Quote Dave Whelan, September 2008;
[url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyleague/2706578/Wigan-Warriors-forced-to-change-venue-for-home-draw-Rugby-League.htmlSod Off Wigan Warriors[/url or something to that effect'"
However
Quote Dave Whelan, May 2012;
[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/17958434It is scandalous to be put in this position but we cannot see Wigan Warriors playing such a game away from home[/url'"
What's changed? |

I think in internet parlance the RFL have just owned Wigan Warriors.
www.superleaguefans.com/rugby-le ... ation.html
[iThe schedule for the 2012 Carnegie Challenge Cup was circulated last year and all clubs have had ample time to put in place contingencies should a tie in which they are involved be selected for televising.
It is the draw which decides the make-up of individual rounds, not the RFL, and whilst clubs must trust to fate, they are also aware of their responsibilities with regard to broadcast agreements.
Whilst the RFL were informed by Wigan Warriors of the potential difficulty they faced as a consequence of their unique tenancy agreement were they to be drawn at home in the quarter-finals, the club were aware that should their tie be selected for broadcast, the onus was on them to find a solution.[/i |

On the other hand, how hard would it have been for the RFL & the BBC, before the start of the season & after the Premiership & other soccer fixtures were arranged, to have this round of the cup one week later?
There is a gap of 9 (nine) weeks between the semi & the final - too long surely?
Reducing that gap to 6 or 7 would have allowed the later cup rounds this year to have been shifted back a week or so I realise there are other sporting events to consider but I'm sure a solution that meets everybody's requirements could have been achieved.
Wigan are the team affected here but it could have been any of the teams who share a football stadium. |

Very,
next week is the final week of the premier league season. The week after is the championship play off final, the Heineken cup final, the champions league final and an Amir Kahn fight. The week after is the magic weekend, the week after is the start of the euros.
Had the RFL scheduled the game for any of those weekends they would rightly have been criticised because the CC quarterfinals would have been ignored.

I knew there was a good reason for Hull conceeding their fourth round challenge cup game.
When you're just a lodger you can't afford to over-stretch the landlords patience.

What a shame they couldn't get their club organised enough to actually be able to fulfill the fixture list without b[ii[/itching & whining. Grade A licence, my .
