Get LEIGH outta wigan: |

| Quote: gutterfax "Life it may well be, but in the spirit of the Challenge cup, the selection of Leigh is not a neutral in any way shape or form.
If Sheffield had turned us over, do you believe they would have been asked to play Wigan at Leigh? Would they love!
David Hughes has gone out of his way to mickey of the RFL in recent years....but he and his spineless gimp of a CEO need to make a stand here.....Leigh is a suburb of Wigan for christ's sake.....how is it neutral?'"
thats not nice gf we are a town forced under wigans foot back in 74 but i can understand your anger so as long as they open the south stand so us brothers can sit together i'll be ther supporting your lot.Come on london

| I think in a World Cup year, the RFL want to play it on the safe side, which is understandable. Sending thousand if Wigan fans down south, who will be buying up a lot of WC tickets, may stretch the finances too far. London WC fans probably won't watch the Broncos.
It's unfair on the neutral stakes, but I can see why they've opted for it.

6k of them turned out at Widnes at the last minute for a first round playoff game. I imagine plenty more would travel to a neighbour town for a CC semifinal.

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

WTF
We have been told that the RLWC has already made money. Are you suggesting that the removal of a neutral ground for this game is now about maximizing profit?
Shame on the RFL ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)
