Have you got enough room under the Salary cap to take Ron off our hands ?

We'll do you a straight swap, Sam Tomkins for Ron plus a bit of cash our way to sweeten the deal.

Ron looks like he's settled in well on your board already so he'd be able to perform straight away without the usual settling in period.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg

Forget Lego stadium or that it's our ground and you hate us we know, it is actually a good 'rugby league' stadium, when it's full and both sets of supporters are up for it, it has a great atmosphere, plus i hate sitting down to watch rugby.

It is a decent ground just a bit small for a Wigan Saints cup semi final imo. Just unfortunate with respect to timing due to football starting again as somewhere like Bolton, Preston, Blackpool or Huddersfield would have been better as they are bigger. Another reason why the current format off the CC needs looking at, get rid of the long gap between R5 and QF then the semis fall further in to the football off-season and there are more potential venues available as neutral grounds for the semis.

Nail on the head Semi's played around this time of year would be much easier to find venues for rather than in 2 weeks time when the football season is kicking off in earnest.

Ewood Park is much better than both of those grounds. Not that I've any clue whether it's being used that weekend or not.

Agreed, id take the HJ over our plastic dome any day, it may look cheap but at least it has terracing and feels like a rugby ground.

Can everyone stop moaning now please, its being played at Warrington and thats that, it will be jam packed with an electric atmosphere which is more than can be said for any of the football grounds mentioned above which would be half empty.

I'm sure a Wigan/Saints derby will do it proud though, mightily impressed with your fans on Saturday, they never really translate at home but when i've seen you guys away you really raise your voices, i should be eating humble pie on the Wigan supports noise i've derided over the years but i'm a Wire so i'll eat arrogant pasties instead icon_wink.gif

Again on the challenge cup

First fixture of ever month should be a challenge cup week leading up to August.

August final
July semi-final
June quarter-final
May Fifth round
April Fourth round
------------------------------------
March second and third
Febuary Prims and first
------------------------------------


Who would honestly argue with that, it would make perfect sense and bring much need structure to the game, it also allows people to book in advance as the know, the first week in the month will be a cup game.

One last point how good did the HJ sound on Saturday, that will be replicated again unlike if it was the Galpharm.

I love your lego stadium and would love on of our own!!

I just think its a bit sad that a Semi Final which is also a derby and we're getting a 13500 seater stadium, just my romantic view I guess

I don't know where Ewok is.

Ewood Park, however, is much better than the Reebok and Deepdale. It's not even close.
