The RFL wouldn't be changing everything to suit one team. A number of clubs will have told the RFL about dates where their ground couldn't be used, and as stated Wigan told them last October. Off the top of my head SL teams who would have told the RFL about similar issues to Wigan include:
Huddersfield
Leeds
Hull FC
London Broncos
Catalans
So that's nearly half the teams in SL, it's just that circumstances have occurred that brought the focus on Wigan when it could easily have been one of the others. |

Was the article on the Wigan site written by a work-experience kid? The English is poor and it reads like it was written by a grumpy kid. I'm not saying my club's website is any better when it comes to grammar and punctuation, but if IL and DW wanted to make such a critical statement about the RFL, I'd have thought they'd do it a bit more articulately.

I was willing to feel a little for Wigan as they had replied to an RFL request but this just takes the p1$$ - they obviously believed that there request would be honoured, but should have checked before taking the booking! Would have been better going to a neutral ground and at least seeing some people in the seats instead of a whole stand being empty!

Were Leeds limited to the number of spectators they could have due to a Country Cricket match being played at the same time?. Your totally correct we are not the only club who are compromised by other sporting fixtures and the RFL have totally neglected this through lack of competence. Fundamentally the RFL have failed in their scheduling, 30 days for 3 challenge cup matches and then a 9 week break untill the semi finals  I'm not sure who makes these decisions but they are void of common sense and look completely amateurish. How much longer will the clubs/fans/chairman's stand for this pathetic approach to our great sport, some thing must be done.

If Nigel Wood is going to be in attendance, those newlyweds better keep their eyes on the buffet.
