Is there actually a Premier League rule about leaving the pitch unused 24 hours before a game? Or is it down to logistics in getting the stadium prepared?

Not sure what the rules are but if it is a shared stadium then both teams should be allowed the rights to stage their games. i.e. Wigan - Saints on Saturday and Wigan A. - Wolves Sunday.

Should play it at LP if they aren't allowed to use the ground they rent because the lead tenants have a game.

But either way, this draw is as good as a defeat in the last round. It would take something very special to beat them.

Just received a text saying Dave Woods has said Dave Whelan won't let them play there that weekend. I didn't hear it myself so can't vouch for the authenticity.

It's a cup draw and everything goes out the window. Some Wigan fans feel the same way as you. Anything can happen.

We can use our ground on Friday night, I'd rather not travel to your cheap stadium.

Unlikely as BBC will want the game

If it was your ground bone head we would'nt be having this conversation
Yet you call our ground cheap but it's our's

If the beeb want the game then it should be at Langtree.

Why should Saints subsidise a neutral venue with sone of their gate receipts.

I can fully understand why DW wouldnt want a game there that weekend.

The money from staying in the.prem for one year is.probably worth all Wigans rent for the term of their lease.

In your two reply's you contradict yourself

Dave Whelan owns the largest stake hold in the DW so Wigun RL (Lenaghan) do not own it hence your homeless
And Mcmanus owns the largest stakehold in St Helens RL so we own our stadium

Simples bone head
