| Has to be the DW. Seeing the Hub Cap being lifted in the DW was good but thats a minor thing... Imagine 25,000 Wiganers (the ground still full) when SoL goes up to lift the WCC. *Spine Tingle*
Plus even more flags in the South Stand just to add to the occasion.  |

| Quote: Finfin "It would be a brave decision and the the club's staff will have to work on overdrive, but a 40k crowd at City of Manchester would be a massive boost not just to Wigan but to the overall game.
If it isn't available - City may not need the money - then there are no other suitable stadiums (OT too big, Liverpool / Everton are in areas that don't have an interest in RL) and we must ensure a sell out at DW.'"
I think we can safely assume that's true!
You're right though, it'd certainly be a tremendous acchievement to fill that ground. |

WHY!!! why would you want ANY neutrals in the stadium what so ever! 25,000 wiganers at the DW. |

Brisbane away was our finest hour. Not saying we would win down under, but if we win at home, there's always the old excuses of travel, jetlag, lack of preparation etc, etc. As Edwards said on Sky when we won over there it put all that to bed.
RFL/Aussies should get their fingers out and ensure that the fixture is played at the home ground of the UK champs one year and the Aussie champs the next.

Winning the WCC at a packed DW in front of 25,000 Wiganers would top the Grand final IMO.

If its possible it has the be at the DW. We shouldnt be taking it anywhere too far away if we cant play it there as it will probably be not long before or after the magic weekend and people arent made of money.

Which is why I wouldn't want it in Australia. Having not been in the WCC for 17 years, I'm sure many people would be annoyed that they couldn't go to this one due to financial constraints. |

It would be amazing, an atmosphere like we have never had before at the new stadium, dark winters night, fireworks, the lot. Like manly at CP all over again (although I wasnt born to witness it) And four stands full of cherry and white, why anyone would want it anywhere else is beyond me.

You get the feeling that we are on the verge of writing a new chapter in our glorious history. One thing the JJB/DW has been lacking is that link with the great era's that came whilst we were at Central Park. It's time to make history at our new home and leave some unforgettable memories. What better opportunity to do this than hopefully parading our 4th World Club Challenge success around our Wigan home in front of 25,000 Wiganers

Indeed. Thinking about that makes the hairs on the back of my neck tingle. |
