So the biggest problem was the Rfl . Maybe they wanted us to have this problem especially since they knew the football dates. Well done IFL and DW for sorting it out.

Good news!

Standard RFL though! They knew about the dates before the season started.

Finally we can start talking about the game coming up, and not the ground situation.

Here's to ending Saints semi-final run!

I guess Leigh have wasted alot of ink printing those tickets out

a full house next week???


Come on give us a break, a 20k plus crowd would be amazing but id be surprised if its much more than 14k

il be there of course

brilliant stance by IL.......and lets not forget the much castigated Whelan...hes gone a short way to redeeem himself after the Widnes fiasco.

and as ive said all along...the fault lies with the RFL...they knew about this potential problem, and chose to ignore it.

now let get together and fill the stadium...our chairman deserves it.

North stand closed apparently?

according to Phil Wilkinson on Twitter...

Nearly 60 pages of personal attacks on DW and IL in the other thread all for nothing hopefully next time something like this happens people can wait for an announcement before forming an angry mob.

Glad its sorted, glad its at home and cant wait already COME ON WIGAN!!!

How can the biggest problem be the RFL that statement is only in Wigan's eyes. Why should the RFL change everything to suit one team.
At least now it is all sorted so let's all get on with the game in hand.

Terrific spin from Whelan and Lenagan to paint themselves as victims and saviours.

I think DW needs an apology... the majority of people were happy to blame him for this when infact its the RFL... SHAME ON THEM!!!

DW comes out the hero, who would have thought it?? Good news, should be a great game, cant wait now.

Well done to Mr Lenegan AND Whelan.

I've been a big critic of Whelan in the past but this statement would seem to imply that he has been quite co-operative in this case and has lobbied the premier league to allow the game to go ahead the day before the Warriors game so fair play to him. Ian Leneghan has done remarkably well and once again showed how calm he can be in a crisis by keeping everything in-house until there was a clear and definitive statement to be made. This despite continued criticism on here of the stony silence coming from within.
It also looks like other clubs have been co-operative and the only bunch to come out of this lot smelling of manure rather than roses are the ostriches at the RFL. They're probably far to busy organising additional rounds of Super League futures than to worry about any of the concerns of its member clubs.
It'll probably still all be Wigan's fault though in the eyes of many.

its not about "changing" anything....its about "planning"

sure enough, three posts above mine people already blaming Wigan.
