This is beyond farcical and a major,major embarrassment for Wigan RL and for the game in general.

And to think that some of the jokers that follow them have been trying to tell us over their board not so long ago that it's better to rent a stadium than to own one!

Not saying that now, are they.

According to the Warriors site the cup tie will be played at the DW next Saturday at 2.30pm

Correct. - rlhttps://www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id

Now we can look forward to the first ever cup derby at the DW.

They can play where they want, I won't be going after this week's fiasco.

At last, the RFL standing up to the Goons

"Wigan Rugby League Club Ltd were instructed yesterday by the Board of Directors of the Rugby Football League Governing Body ("RFL"icon_wink.gif that Wigan must play their quarter-final match against St Helens on Saturday afternoon 12th May at 2:30pm at another stadium if the DW Stadium is not available."

What a bleating little buffoon IL comes over as in that article.

"We also feel that the RFL scheduling of Challenge Cup rounds has been poor with three rounds in 30 days followed by 9 weeks before the semi-finals. More importantly, no account seems to have been taken of the clear conflicts with football-shared stadiums on the weekend of the 13th May with immovable Premier League final matches taking place "

Only the Goons share a ground with a PL side, it is up to them to get their own house in order, and not expect the rest of the league to have to make any alterations to suit them.

Never mind

So we Saints fans don't even have a stand because of a WEDDING.

Farce.

After all this your fans are now being separated because of Wigan's incompetence?!
What a complete farce not just to WiganRL but to the whole of RL and the Challenge Cup.
Because Wigan have basically thrown their toys of the pram you have to suffer?!

And they wonder why so many people dislike them as a club.

What an absolute joke

How is it incompetence on Wigans part they identified to the RFL in October this fixture would be restricted! Was it Leeds incompetence when you had to limit the capacity due to a cricket match being played? Before you start spouting hypocritical tripe THINK!

It's good that the RFL are laying down the law, however I am in complete agreement with Jack Dearden's comments about how ludicrous the planning for the cup fixtures are i.e. three rounds in the space of a month followed by a two month break until the semi-finals before that mad rush for cup final arrangements in the space of two weeks.

Wigoon must move the game for the television, however next year we must not be going through this with the RFL. Get it sorted.

Wigan sent their request in October 2011, they clearly informed the RFL yet our "governing body" is ran by retards.

So no north stand!!
So Is there rental agreement per stand then.Cant say I fancy takeing my youngest If were lumped In with the rent boys.
