| Quote Alan="Alan"The draw for this competition is open and above board. What is completely intolerable, is to have the BBC hugely influence things by virtually dictating who must give up home advantage. If W***n and Huddersfield can play their games at home on any date between 11 - 13 May (the allowed dates for this round) they should be allowed to play them on those dates. If those dates don't coincide with the BBC's schedule, let the BBC select the other two ties.
I believe SKY are probably influencing this too, by not wanting to go to France.
In fact there's only one game that could, theoretically, be played on any of the three days - Leigh v Leeds, and we all know which two teams are going to get ****** on from a great height here, don't we?'"
Wigan have known for weeks when the 1/4 finals were due to be played and should have a contingency plan in place to cover the scenario that has occurred.
Then again the RFL should have scheduled the rounds better 4th round clashed with Grand National & FA Cup semis and now the 1/4s clashing with final round of PL games and championship/league1/2 play-offs. |

Agree totally.
The RFL need to look at how serious they view the cup and if they have really maximised the crowd potential this season- wall to wall football coverage in Britain the quarter final weekend was always going to happen so waiting a few weeks might have helped (certainly waiting 1 week until the Premier league is done would have made common and business sense).
As for Wigan,they have known for a long time that they are 2nd fiddle at the DW so should have planned for any eventuality, contingency plans to move it to Widnes / Leigh / wherever should have been thought of with contacts made to ensure this went smoothless - I suspect they want a home tie but need to play it Friday to keep the ground owners happy - the BBC don't want to lose the plum tie , rightly so but Leigh / Leeds / Wire / Catalan etc, etc should not be left waiting because of this.
Our game finished circa 5pm sunday and the fact we do not know when we are playing next weekends fixture makes the whole set up look rank very poor and is now a farce. |

They very rarely take more than 1,000 on the Friday trips to Wigan, Col. In fact, they only just scraped that this season for a Saturday evening game.
Completely inexplicable if we're not on telly though. |
