I'll comment on this type of thinking again elsewhere.

| I get where you're coming from I really do, and certainly in other areas I'd much rather see bigger thinking. However as it stands the WCC makes a lot of money.
If you take the recent RU examples of club games at Wembley, sure they got some great crowds, some decent press but they lost a lot of money due to the cost involved. The RFL simply doesn't have this sort of money to gamble with.
If they could fill Anfield at 45,000 then tbh, I dont see how anyone couldnt see that as a resounding success, what was last years? 28k or something? (i actually dont know)

| I acknowledged Anfield as a good plan B a while back.
I would still be disappointed if you guys took it.

| Take it to Wembley and announce it ASAP. Take advantage of the ex-pats down there, and the fact that Wigan haven't been to Wembley in over a decade (which before then seemed like they were there every year). Could work really well, and would be a great chance to boost interest in not only this game but the sport down south.

| Quote: richardviking "If the DW is deemed big enough for Ashes Test matches then that'll do for me. I'd much rather see Wigan's ground packed out than 35k at Anfield, Eastlands or wherever else.'"
Let me tell you, it would mean more to most rugby supporting Wiganers to have a capacity 25k crowd in our home town than 35k at Anfield due to the barrage of 'The town has turned blue' comments we've had thrown at us over the last five years. This would finally put that one to rest.

The Warriors actually have a higher average attendance for this season than the Latics do so far this season. 15,723 vs 15,207.

I know, I've been checking.
They do still get to play Man U and Liverpool yet though.

On a tangent...
Whenever I see the "Latics", sorry, I remember that line "He was obsessed with lactating women. He's better now, although he still eats a lot of cheese..."

| They should play at the DW stadium.
I know if I was a Wigan fan(God forbid ) I would want to play on my home turf if possible.

shook my head at that one.
