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!

| Quote: Wigan28/Leeds18 Andy "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
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.

I'm just going to tell my mates that St Helens are so embarrassed from the hiding we gave them on Good Friday that they decided not to bother.

The fact that the north stand will be empty won't really impact the overall attendance imo, If we could still get near 20 k then that would still be a good achievement for a cc game. Get the north stand covered with flags and have 3 full stands bouncing with noise.... Whats the problem?

Yes, it was our CC QF against them two years ago....weather-wise, the day was a shocker, and the irony was the cricket (Yorkshire-Lancashire) was abandoned.

All joking aside...
...this could have been a great day out for both sets of fans and look great on free to view tele, yet it's been a farce since the draw was made.

Yep, we've played Leeds twice in the cup at Headingley when the crowd has been restricted due to a county game on. But England are playing a one day on the 22 June and a test match on 2-6 August when the Whinos wouldn't be allowed to play and they'll have told the RFL this when we did last October.
It's just the nature of the relationship various clubs have for a variety of reasons and as far as I'm concerned is no biggie and should be relatively straight forward to work through - however your average numbskull, waste of space, knuckle dragger is too thick to appreciate this, and it seems to include the RFL on this occasion.

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 |

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

Due to a scheduling conflict, the couple are now looking at alternate venues for the wedding. Possible venues include Leigh, Warrington and Bolton. There is a 61-page thread on weddingfans.com lamenting the possible change of venue...

Will Wigan fans now stop swallowing the line about the '24 hour rule' now? It doesn't exist.
