| Quote: AJ "The truth, they are still negotiating to use the stadium, or are attempting to find another venue. Its not impatience for an announcement, its simply the fact, the longer this goes on, the more the whole situation begins to leave a bigger stain on RL, Wigan relations and the acceptance of the DW as our home ground.'"
But why do they need to tell us that? It's obvious that is what they are doing. They will be fighting tooth and nail to A- play it at Wigan and B - not to play it at Saints.

Because we fund the clubs very existence? Because Im not asking for IL to come out and call Whelan a c*nt, simply to inform the fans what is going on.

We know what is going on. We are playing on Saturday at 2.30 pm but as of yet we don't know where but you can guarantee that it won't be any further away than Leigh, St Helens, Warrington or Widnes.
I presume that IFL will be fighting as hard as he can for it to be at Wigan but if DW won't budge just as the beeb wouldn't then he'll be working to get the best deal for Wigan RLFC at another stadium both financially, from a fans POV and for the team.
When he knows every little bit of detail I'm 100% sure he will tell everyone, but he isn't the type of guy that constantly talks to the media and bulls*its just to keep fans happy and I for one am glad about that. I wish DW was the same at Latics.

You could always just book a train ticket anyway, return to Wigan. If it's at Wigan, no problems. Warrington, get off in Warrington. Leigh, get of in Warrington and get a bus to Leigh. Saint's get off in Warrington and local train to Saints. Widnes, change at Crewe and make a diversion or get a bus from Warrington.
It's hardly insurmountable and may add £5-10 to your plans, but if it's at Wigan you get some spare time to enjoy a pint of two before the game. I

| If you are planning a boycott that doesnt hurt the club, then dont buy anything tonight from the DW-owned kiosks.
Sadly, I expect to see thousands of cherry & white tops continue to stuff their faces with Dave's food and drinking Dave's ale whilst muttering what a he is.

And they'd be well within their rights to do so

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!: |

| Anybody else think it being geared up for an announcement at the game tonight? Either DW saying its at the DW and claiming he is the saviour of the challenge cup or DW announcing an alternative ground and blaming the RFL for drawing Wigan out first.

If they know today then they'd be mad not to mention it ahead of the game so that tickets can go on sale before kick off.

Maybe on 13 May they would, but "hypocritical" would be a better word to describe them tonight.

Why would they? Not everyone wants to protest about it.

| Quote: bewareshadows "Surely a boycott will only hurt Wigan in the pocket. Why not go with something that will have more impact. If people see empty seats on TV then it's just another CC match under supported.
However if those TV cameras see bank upon bank of Wiganers wearing their shirts inside out, or sponsor ship covered in black tape.
Now that will be a talking point on national TV.
Although I would go shirt inside out, it's easy to do and everyone can do it no matter the shirt. You are still showing support and showing displeasure. Absense is ignored, protest sends a message.'"
Let us have some proper impact. D0 THE WIGAN WALK IN REVERSE.
By that I mean everyone in the South Stand stay in the bar or outside until 5 min after kickoff and then slowly walk in,what an effect that would have.
Very cringeworthy for the powers that be.
