As a Wigan fan I’m not too fussed about not getting any games. The money would go in to the pockets of the new Chinese owners of the football club and whilst it’s a shame for the businesses of town, people like myself can and will get to numerous games in Leigh, Bolton, Warrington etc. I can’t wait for it all tbh. I loved 2013 and went to probably 10+ games. I’d imagine I’ll double that in 2021 if I can fit them all in.

So. To be clear....we as fans wonder why the nations media treat us as a northern pastime and to dismiss this utter myth, we will have a World Cup with 29 of the 31 games played in Sheffield or further North........

I’m with you on this. I’m not too fussed, Bolton is easier to get away from than the awful saddle junction at the DW. Let’s hope for great crowds all around, tickets should be made available for sale from all clubs where a small % goes to that club as an incentive. Could say the same about future Challenge Cup Finals too. Get tickets into all amateur clubs (2-3 full coaches from each club to the semis/final would go a long way to great attendances).

Somebody mentioned earlier about schools and amateur clubs and it’s a must. I’ve said for a while that they should be ensuring amateur games don’t clash with the big international fixtures and the clubs should be offered incentives for how many coaches they can get filled from their clubs.

A few Wakey fans on Twitter, Facebook etc were moaning that their stadium wasn't considered but surely they couldn't be serious?

Could they?

If they have games in Leigh..they have games in Pie Borough.

This councillor want his Pies and to eat them...!

Best away venue to go in SL...however, the ground is a tiny dump.

We're deadly serious. Seriously.

You didn't get one because you can't be trusted

why not I see Workington has a game

It is brave to award games to a stadium that hasn't had planning permission even approved yet (at least according to the Allerdale council website). On there it says if planning is approved this winter the stadium could be finished by late Spring 2021.

Having worked in part on the planning/development to get the Keepmoat Stadium and seeing all the hurdles, and watching the likes of Wakefield and Cas chasing their pipedream parks, there's an awful lot of things that can happen to gobble up that few months buffer.

As I say to everyone who talks about the new grounds they're getting, you're not getting it until you're sat in a seat watching a game

You have a telly wonder where that came from.
