No it didn't. It happened 4 years ago.

dont come on a saints board and start telling a saints supporter on a saints board to shut up.
do one.

That sort of money is bus fare compared to Latics staying in the PL.

very true, but it has no bearing on that

If Whelan has told Martinez that he won't let RL be played the day before a Latics game, it certainly does.

I don['t know that as fact, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

I am totally fed up with all this fiasco now. Just wish the RFL would announce another venue for the Saturday and get on with it. In my eyes Wigan W. have lost the home advantage by not being able to fulfill the fixture at the time they have been given. Why should everyone have to wait at the beck and call of DW. Oh. yes it's Wigan Rugby they do what they want. For god's sake get on with it RFL and announce somewhere for it to be played.

Fully agree the RL should just ask one simple question as they have had ample time "Can you play the match on Saturday"
If yes fine lets get it on?
If No then fine the match will now be played at Langtree Park

Feck em

Make em forefit the game! That'll teach em!

Saints should kick up a fuss about this. It's next weekend isn't it? How are we supposed to plan for that when they can't even decide which rent-a-ground they will be using?

On Tuesday evening it was on the BBC website that the game would be played on Saturday 12 May at 2.30PM with the venue to be announced.

I have since been told that the kick off and the day cannot and will not be moved and it is up to Wigan to arrange a [isuitable[/i venue.

F.I.O.S.

I think there is a real danger of the fans, the management and in particular the players losing focus here regarding this debacle.

This is a massive game for the club and whether it is at Wigan,Widnes, Warrington, Bolton, Old Trafford, we have to be focussed and determined to win.

My gut feelign is that we would have more chance at DW because if Wigan have to move, they will use it as a motivation to show that they can beat us anywhere and this is a big worry for me.

...And all this talk of over twenty thousand attendance is nonsense too.

Saturday afternoon match.....Terrestial TV....Ninth or tenth derby this season (!) ..... that should mean about fourteen thousand will be nearer the mark. Any of the sensible alternatives (Saints, Widnes, Warrington, Leiigh) will therefore be just about right.

Tough match but fancy Saints by twelve....
