Quote: Conroy "What goes around comes around some would say. (those being the Latics fans there back when Lindsay did similar)
The facts are that as long as Latics are in the PL Dave Whelan is going to be an a$$ about where and when Wigan RL play. It is [sizenothing[/size to do with the PL as there is [sizeNO[/size 24 hour rule. It is simply all at the feet of DW who is trying to protect his investment as best he can. The myth painted by the media that rugby cuts the pitch up doesn't help either. Personally from a Wigan RL POV the next time the media blame them for the pitch I'd use this and the Widnes debacle as proof that that isn't the case.
Anyway, there are three options available to Wigan RLSuck it up and accept that that was what was agreed too.
The first one isn't viable. The second would be an absolute travesty, so the third it is. It's happened twice in 12 years when there has been 5 and 11 days notice. Not exactly a constant issue worth breaking a very favourable deal imo.'"
Wow ... are we going back again to the activities of Maurice Lindsay in the mid-1980s, or whenever it was? When are Latics fans going to stop bringing up events from what now seems like sporting prehistory ... from an administration that is so long gone most current Wigan fans don't even remember it?
That aside, what you say about the causes of this latest debacle is of course true. But what I said was true as well. Regardless of the reasons for it, this event is yet another nail in the coffin of those who hope to see a town united in sport. It must be very difficult at present for any RL fans in Wigan to view Latics as anything more than a cuckoo in the nest, and - rightly or wrongly - to blame their presence here as the main cause of this embarrassment.
