The Catalan v Wire game will probably be a better game anyway.

I can't see the BBC giving up this game easily, to be honest.

take it to the moon if we have to but avoid the screwfix at all costs as we were treated like animals by their over zealous brain dead gorillas ( stewards)

May just be me, but my impression of the BBC choosing which game to show is akin to the selection of the Holy Stone of Clonrichert as a class two relic.

Can't see the Beeb shelling out to send their entire production team to Perpignan. They'll leave that option to Sky.

Do you think if Wigan RL did a very public grovel on bended knees with much wringing of hands,Whelen may relent and give permission for it to be played on the Saturday.
If it was public enough he may not want to come out of it in a bad light,giving permission would give him the impression of a hero coming to the rescue.

Am I in cloud cukoo land.

Also as another incentive we Wigan R/L supporters could tell him that if he gave us a free ticket and a pie each,we would go and watch the Latics on the Sunday.

That would be an ecumenical matter.

WTF?

Suck it up. You don't have a stadium so you play where one is available. Stop moaning about it.

I'm gutted.

Any chance of a ticket pricing system similar to the 'Big One' games to get a decent crowd in? A half empty stadium for rugby league's biggest game will look terrible on free to view TV.
