Quote: hula89 "So do you agree or disagree that as a Wigan season ticket holder who has paid for a ticket he should be allowed to use this ticket and not be forced to not use it because he made arrangements on a day the game was not supposed to be played on?

On a personal note I'm really not bothered when they play games. But I know Sky have rights to make changes before I buy my season ticket. Every fan knows that. It's no secret, they've been doing it to us since they started showing league games in 1991. Granada TV did it before them. That's one of the main reasons why we switched to Friday Night's way back in 2001. It used to be a lot worse than now.
The game would have gone ahead on the Friday in a non world cup year but no club really wants to clash with an England World Cup game. I think if it wasn't for the 99% certainty of it being shown by Sky the fixture would have been moved long ago. Leeds & Salford have already switched to Sunday that weekend for example.
