[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.
It is a hard pill to swallow but unbelievably true.[/quote:2tzw9wtk]:2538.png |

I was quite disappointed when Perpignan was announed as I been 3 times and after all the earlier Montpellier rumours.I wanted a change
I can appreciated the noises being made by people who have booked already, but nothing decided as yet.
We will all after wait and see what happens.
OT... Crusaders - Newport, Wrexham or (Widnes, joking)

It should not be a risk when the club officially announce on the website that Wigan will play " in Perpignan " |

It was always said that it will be in Perpignan, it was the kick off time that was TBC.

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 |

In that case, fair enough play the game in Perps. Unless, as others have said, appropriate coaching arrangements can be made. |

We would have booked ours a while a go but the uncertainty of where it was going to be played was never clear, so i've been hanging on.

My thoughs exactly 
But cant see it happening as to many have booked now, TBH it makes little difference to me but most others have little room for movement. From a selfish POV i would like to play somewhere different

| Hello, the Catalans wanted since long time to go to play in this stadium since the start of the season but the SL wanted we go for the Wilcats game. The problem it's one of our biggest sponsors (Région Languedoc Roussillon) is Montpellier based and the catalans wants to show there we can make a sold out game in Yves Dumanoir's Stadium. It(s very important for French RL if we full this stadium that's why we prefer play against Wigan Warriors because we think it will be easyest with Warriors crowd. I heard here there with big chance to have double header this day with Toulouse Cooperative Championship opening game. Hope your will accept change and your club accept too. Montpellier is a big city with very good ambiance and know the sea is very close, like Perpignan to Canet.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Charles, thank you for explaining the reasons. But what about your local sponsors in Perpignan.
Will they not feel "betrayed" by moving the game to Montpellier?

| No problem
Our biggest problem now it's we must expand the capacity of our stadium Gilbert Brutus but politics do not so agree. The main financial is the Region Languedoc Roussillon council and that's why we want to show there rugby league can fill a 15,000 seats capacity stadium in France. If we realise it just in front of there eyes, they could not refuse gilbert expantion.

Charles,
These are all good reasons, but the Catalan club should have sorted this out before the fixtures were published, and people have made their travel plans. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

It would be great if the game could be moed and get a huge crowd but only if the people who have booked their trips can get compensation. |
