I think is called hard luck.
When people purchased there tickets which i have done i must add. Did you not realize it was winter and that we could have ice or snow under foot after all it is Christmas time.
It makes me wonder just how we all went on when we played in winter. I must have imagined the crowds we got in conditions like this. Is this heath and safety gone mad or just supporters gone soft.

When we played in Winter, we had more than our fair share of games called off - Have a look at Bilko's text on past saints derbys for example. |

| Quote: andyed-wiganrl "Think the L@tics v Bolton decision was taken mainly due to the fact that it was too icey and snowy to have a mounted police presence at the game, and given that it was a derby wendyball game, between teams with a known idiot element, and a relegation 6 pointer, the real risk was that the threat of violence was too significant to deal with without mounted police. as much as they state it was health and safety issues i think you'll find these were the real reasons and i would expect the game was called off due to the fact that the police wouldnt allow it to go ahead.
If you read between the lines of the clubs press release it pretty much says as much - it was just a PR exercise by the club not to look bad bringing other elements into it.
Unless theres more snow tonight which looks unlikely I cant see our game not going ahead.'"
Think you've read far too much in to that situation - fact is, it would have been unsafe to have had 17,000 people all converging on the same place in such weather conditions. There's even an inspection at the LSV at 10am tomorrow to determine whether the game will go ahead because of the car parks and approach roads, despite the pitch being 100% playable. |

Anyone any idea when the inspection is tomorrow? Driving down from Fife at about 9.30.

i think you will find most were due to the pitch. Been going to watch Wigan since 1964. |

Because we didn't have undersoil heating, nor the same legal obligations on fan safety. You're talking like it's people being soft, when the sad reality is there's bugger all you can do to avoid the regulations. Put in the same situation as we are now, back in 1964 winter rugby you'd still have games being called off. |

| Quote: thepriestman85 "Why tho?
We are all adults and if they offer a weather/condition warning then it should be up 2 the individual if they wish 2 make the trip.
I realise it's why they called the football off but IMO it's something the police shouldn't have the power 2 do.
All I can speak from is a personal opinion and IMO i'm in full knowledge that's it's slippy under foot but I'm prepared 2 risk it. If I fall and hurt my leg then it's no ones fault but mine really.'"
Because in this day and age, despite a lot of "adults" choosing the attend the game, somebody somewhere will fall over and then sue - not the official line, just an observation. |

I think that if we were playing winter rugby in this age of health and safety mania, even given that some SL clubs have got themselves modern stadia, there would be all sorts of problems with match cancellations. Last winter was fairly cold, and this winter, thus far, has been problematic. |

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 |

[quote="Doogal McQuire.":2tzw9wtk]The perception with everyone from outside the Rugby League Community is that Wigan are still the biggest name in British rugby league.
