Not true....otherwise wiggy would have gone long ago

Hold up, where has the last few posts gone?

If "someone" know who is to blame for this fiasco they should be named and shamed regardless of who it is, many of our fans have either lost a large amount of money or will miss the game, the deserve the truth.

Graeme what was the content. You must have read them to know they are missing

I've seen them, I can't really say anything but don't worry, you haven't missed out on anything.

Just me blowing off steam.....so move along, nothing to see here

Seems to me everyone is trying to blame each other, i.e. RFL saying its Sky, then this guy blaming Quins for saying we dont take many supporters. Myself where i think he got that idea from is,somebody at Quins must have had a look at how many if any had book thoguht the Club or Catalan Tours and come up with a silly answer.

Have to admit that guy from RFL on radio last night. made me laugh when he said "well we moved a Wigan game at Catalans once before and they didnt mind", only to add it was at was at a start of a season and they did have a few months notice. , and how kind they have been in giving us 6 weeks notce instead of the normal 4

But even so the one thing is EITHER of them, Sky or RFL have yet said why they had to move it to a Sunday, Unless i missed that,but i'm sure i didnt

Unfortunately, I suspect the sad economic reality is that putting 20 or 30 or 100 people in this position every time when this happens will not deter Sky from doing it again. It's not their money - and if 10% or 50% of those people cancel their Sky subscriptions in protest, it's a drop in the ocean to them.

It wasn't very clever of the RFL man to come out and say it out loud, but he is right - the numbers involved are small. Very annoying if you are one of them (as I am - have now lost wads of money changing our plans) - but ultimately small numbers of people affected in the scheme of things, and hence nothing we can do.

Now that I am spending a small fortune to see this game, we had better bloody well win.

No your wrong BG ....... suggest you check what the Sun wrote about that particular 'frog'.......it was much worse than my remark.......

Did not hear the radio broadcast, but this `small numbers` thing is a total red herring..........did the RFL man happen to mention what `numbers` criteria is being applied?......When does an acceptable number of inconvenienced fans become unacceptable.....is 100, 250, 1000???

As most fans from all clubs travel under their own steam for the Catalan game, how did the RFL or anybody else for that matter arrive at a number that would be inconvenienced?

The reality is that the Catalan game is a special game where many fans who do not normally travel to away games make that extra effort, so normal travelling numbers in the UK do not apply.

I am still none the wiser as to why the game was moved and what criteria (if any) was applied which made someone think it was fine to do so......but then again what do I know, I am just a dumb fan who was travelling to France, had booked holiday, paid for flights, booked accomodation etc, only to see it all undone and to end up our of pocket.

Craig Spence at the RFL should be sacked immediately for coming out with that pile of sh[size.[/sizeit.

snip.
Really should control my emotions.

Let's just say I do not believe the quote on the BBC site attributed to our General Manager....
"We obviously made a representation at the time saying that this is going to seriously impact on a group of our supporters".

yeah right ........but decided not to tell anyone until it became obvious that we had really c0cked this up.
