However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

| Quote: "The Betfred Super League fixture between Wigan Warriors and Widnes Vikings scheduled for Friday 24th February has been postponed.
Explaining the situation, Wigan Warriors Chairman, Ian Lenagan, said: “With the inclement weather over the last day resulting in intermittent standing water on the pitch and the further forecasted bad weather over the next 24 hours, the DW Stadium pitch simply cannot sustain two games this weekend.
“With Wigan Athletic’s season at such a critical stage and after detailed discussions between myself and Wigan Athletic Chairman, David Sharpe, it was agreed that they need to play this fixture more than we need to play ours.
“Potential for the game to be moved to Sunday was discussed but this simply isn’t an option with the pitch in its current state, therefore the game will be rescheduled for later this season.
“We apologise to our fans for the inconvenience and disappointment this causes.
“I too am bitterly disappointed not to be able tomorrow night to welcome our Champion team but feel certain that we have made the right decision.”

| Err this is a weird one but one of your lot just went onto our board and called me out by name for NOT posting on your forum???
So I guess Ill say I don't think this switching fixtures thing was very proffesional, and you will probably be fined or maybe docked points, depending on whether the rfl sees it as a serious enough offence.
Positives for you is that you play us in a couple of weeks, so you will get those points back in no time.

Why haven't you complained? You might feel uncomfortable doing it (I know I do) but I've read that you missed your train that you'd already paid for which can't have been just loose change.
I don't think the club are happy about this whole sh*t fest and would compensate you if you contacted them.

| I have complained to the club a few times in the past about changed fixtures . I have just resigned myself to the fact that its the perils on a long distance supporter and prefer to keep the blood pressure in check these days by staying calm Ha Ha Ha . Nearly didn't work last week though .
Answer to your question on Friday Brian (Rogues) is yes i have calmed down lol.
Regards . EW

I know who I would bill. And it wouldn't be Wigan Warriors.
