The issue is not with the pitch being sodden, its down to Wigan Athletic saying they don't want us to play on it as they have a "six pointer" on Saturday.....end of. Lenegan as always then tries to dress it up as it being in the best interests of both clubs when deep down inside its because he has the backbone of a flump.

Not here to Troll, but I do think it's becoming more and more apparent that you need your own ground. Never liked the notion of ground shares in the first place, Christ if Cas can manage a new ground anyone can.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts.

Yep your right.

So play it on Sunday either at your waterlogged ground or at the LSV?

Can't realistically give the points to Widnes, it's a game they might well have lost and it could have big ramifications on the final table. Neither can they be docked from Wigan as I don't imagine for a minute that the RFL won't have been privy to this decision. To be honest, regardless of the statement, I suspect this might well be a circumstance beyond Wigan (RL's) control. Maybe the only thing to do is to regard it as a simple postponement due to weather, i.e. in the same way as if the ground were flooded or a foot of snow had fallen? It 100% smacks of an unequal partnership though.

Rumours that Wigan are being forced by the RFL to play the game tonight.

In what way would giving them to you (I'm assuming you're a Widnes fan) be fair on the other sides who actually have to win games to earn theirs?

Rain is forecast from 8 pm tonight until 10 pm tomorrow night if the Latics game is postponed do we have the chance to play Sunday ?

Similarly, in what way would allowing Wigan to unilaterally cancel games at short notice the week after a tough match be fair on teams that don't behave in such an intensely arrogant/inconsiderate [delete as appropriate] way?

In the same way that it's not fair for Widnes to have to play another week (2 already) with 2 games per week. It would be setting a precedent that you can decide you don't want to play a game because it doesn't suit you.

I don't want 2 free points. I want to watch the game I travelled 200 miles to see. If it was snow or an actual water logged pitch then oh well, but it's not taking place caus Wigan have decided it isn't taking place. They haven't followed the rules.

What a joke! Points should be given to Widnes, this is not their fault.

Expect an announcement soon. The game will be played tonight according to twitter, unofficial but 90% certain, at Widnes.

No doubt because they told they were to be deducted points and fined for cheating again.

So the world champions of rugby league bend over to help out in an unquantifiable way a lower league football side with fewer supporters?

If the game is played at Widnes, do they change their home fixture, or do you travel there twice? Gives Widnes an advantage that might help them come the top eight places, which might have a negative impact on my team. Why doesn't Lenagan put the wider interests of rugby league first over some football side no one watches?
