I'd guess they have it in the cricket ground, which holds around 25k-30k IIRC | | | |

this holds 21,000 apparently...looks bigger though?'"
Certainly looks like it holds more.
Either way, it's big enough to host a game where one team is a 7 hour flight away and the other is 14-15 hours away. | | | |

Where did it say that?
I was under the impression that the Storm asked for it as well and did not get it. | | |

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg |

You're right. The 7's stadium would be the ideal venue. 45k plus capacity and for a one off game it would get a very good attendance. It a pity it couldn't be played on the 7's weekend but 1st week in Dec would just be too early | | |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

If we want to expand lets take it to an area of Aus, NZ, UK or France etc. which does not have top class rugby league, rather than a place that will have no interest. | | |

Because interest from rich countries that throw around money is important. Not all of them can afford soccer teams. | | | |
