7914_1630875396.png I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league.

| As i've said before pull out of the cup and concentrate on SL - it will become a bigger story that will highlight all the issues and how DW acts and how inbalanced the dual registration of clubs at the DW is

| Fear the Vee, you are just stirring the poo here.
Why will you not criticise the RFL for scheduling this round on the last day of the football season. There are 9 weeks before the semis, plenty of time for fitting the matches in.

| This game cannot be moved to Sky, We have a great chance to showcase a huge derby on the BBC, and Wigan must face reality and take the hit. We moan about lack of publicity and poor BBC games, and then some want the game moved to Friday to suit us!! Rubbish. Be interesting to see what would have happened if Sky didnt have the rights to any cup game, it surely would have to be on the BBC

They already organise the SL around Wigan Athletic fixtures, now they need to organise the challenge cup around them too?
The terms of your lease mean that, every few years, you might have to move a game. That is the position you're in, it's not up to the RFL to organise every domestic cup competition around Wigan Athletic. If you don't like it, move ground. If you can't move ground, move your game. It really is that simple.
The RFL have plenty of things to take into consideration when compiling fixtures for a season, not least broadcast partners (in this case the BBC). Why should Wigan RLFC's lease dominate the organisation of the entire sport?

What if Wigan drew Saints at home in the last round? Maybe the RFL should stage the entire cup over 3 weeks in August next time eh?
This is Wigan's problem, not the RFL's.

| I agreed the schedule is in need to be looked at (ie early rounds close together, then Semis/Final months away), but why do we need to concern ourselves with when the Football season is?

| I think we just need an answer ASAP. If we have to move it then so be it. Let's get it announced, let all the over reactions and pis* taking happen and die down and concentre then on the main thing....the game.
Our group of players and staff are mentally tough and moving it to Leigh or wherever will if anything fire them up. It will certainly be no excuse for a defeat so let's get it out in the open and get on with it.
One thing is for sure and that's if it's at Leigh it'll be a dam site better atmosphere with a full house there then 12000 at the DW would have created! That can be an advantage as well so use it.
The LSV is in Wigan anyway so we may as well just claim it as a second home. The Leythers won't mind!!

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| I fail to see how this is down to the RFL, the Beeb or anyone else. This set of fixtures is not a problem for 7 of the teams in the last 8. the only team it is a problem for is Wigan. Wiganers may feel that the world should revolve around there little lease problem, but in the end that's for Wigan to sort out.
The RFL have a full fixture list to sort out, for multiple leagues , multiple cup games and international preperation and end of season. The Beeb have a contract that allows them to pick the match they want of that round at a time of their choosing.
Saints are ready to play when ever where ever.
Sky have the rights to show the PL, SL and what ever choice of CC games are left.
This is not the first time this has happened, maybe RL should only play in weeks when Latics are never at home just incase.
The only issue is a lack of a decision by Wigan where to play their fixture. If their contract says they can play at DW then they should just enforce it and play and let Latics worry about the pitch. If the contract says Wigan can only play whenever they want so long as Latics matches allow then it's tough, wigan signed the contract and will have to live with it for the next 25 years. Or however long is left.

| Didn,t we play Wakefield Easter Monday the DAY BEFORE Latics played Man Utd. THIS YEAR. Talk of a 24 hr premier league rule is all a smokescreen. The only way this game won't be at the DW is if it's scheduled for Sunday.
