No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
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.”

It doesn't look great but I don't think it does us too much harm tbh. The players heads have been elsewhere I'm sure and we have a big squad which should cope better with two games in a week then Widnes can.
It won't go down well but there's always positives I supppse.

Lennigan rolled over again . Conflict of interests . Looks like his football roles are more important to him . He wont give a that some of us up here have just lost hundreds of pounds . Five of us from Scotland and one from Belfast royaly shafted.

Had the potential to be a banana skin imo after Sunday's effort so I'm not too bothered but the circumstances don't sit too well with me.

Another rearanged midweek game that nobody can get too or want to go too. Season tickets are just a joke but not as big a joke as Lennigan . Superleague games in Austrailia he cant even play them in Wigan . The mans a tool

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

It's just WIGAN, nothing else. Get rid of that stupid nickname.:12150.jpg |

Surely the ref will need to inspect the pitch and then call it off or on?

Just walked past the DW and the pitch looked immaculate, I couldn't even see any standing water. They even had them sunlight machines on it.
Is it just a convenient excuse to get us a week off after the WCC?

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Wonder what Sky and the RFL will say to this.

If Latics play their match on Saturday then I can see the RFL docking us points for cancelling a match without good reason. RL doesn't need a bone dry pitch and many matches have been played on waterlogged pitches in the past.
I must say though that for the RFL fixture planners to give us a home match in the middle of February on the same weekend that the Latics are at home is stupid as their fixtures were known in advance. Surely they should have realised that two matches on one weekend at this time of year would be a problem.

"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."
Considering the Latics have won just one league game at the DW since September, I would suggest they could do with playing a few more on the road in the hope they can win a few games and climb above those Giants in Football - Burton Albion FC.
