Firstly, it isn't fair on Widnes, not at all. Neither would it be fair for other teams to set the precedent of awarding points under the circumstances of a postponed game. Hypothetically, would it be fair on (say) wakey if the 2 put Widnes in the super 8s and them in the middles? They'd then miss out on some good crowds which Widnes would enjoy instead.
I don't know what the answer is but for me it can't be awarding two unearned points. Docking points is different: that only affects the club that offends. Awarding them (potentially) affects others too.

up and brewery spring to mind.

I'd be livid if I was a Widnes fan, 8 hours notice of a home game.

I'm livid already, at this stage of the season a home game will always be deemed more important for Latics than the Warriors, set a precedent here, Latics take priority even though they are'nt wold champions, aren't playing at the highest level and have fewer fans - Its a joke Lenegan, sort it out you muppet !

GAME ON - 8PM KO tonight at Widnes

So people from afar such as EW may have cancelled plans for travel / hotels at high expense yesterday, only to be told now it's on! You couldn't make this shiit up, absolute farce

EW and all up here plus one fron Belfast have cancelled and lost money and missed trains that we could still have used . Lennigan wants to give his head a wobble and keep quiet until all the facts are clear and set in stone . Getting to Widnes would not have been a problem if we had all the plans still in place as we would have been down early doors .
What kind of nutters are running this great club . Just got a call from ross telling me this game is on and im not a happy Wigan Fan

What is completely wrong is that the decision to postpone the game appears to have been made without consultation. An RFL official, a groundsman, safety officer etc should have been involved. Wigan deserve a big fine IF they didn't follow the correct protocol.

Don't blame you at all Eric, I'd be p!$$ed off too , have a good weekend.

I'm normally a happy clapper but this a joke.

Taking the pi$$ out of the blind loyalty of supporters.

Including myself who will be going tonight just to support the team.


This will cost Wigan ALOT of money, reduced ticket prices at Widnes, no chance for them to market the game, no hospitality sold etc.

Takes the feel good shine off the club after Sunday.

Surely the sensible thing to do would be to allow all ticket holders for the current game to travel to Widnes. With any concessions going to Widnes?

Then Widnes can hold their home game later in the year as planned.

EW plus others from up here and one from Belfast cancelled all plans for Wigan last night . Widnes away would have been easy as we were all down early doors . Really hope Lennigan gets pelters for this as he is out of order . But he wont care what i think . What state are the team going to be in after being told the game was off if they were told.

You guys are well and truly being messed around this week.Must admit though don't see any other option than going to Widnes to play it.You don't want a back log of games.

Thanks Brian will do lol

Think Ross is about to kill something or somebody tho' lol

Regards

EW

its not rocket science, when they did the fixtures and saw 2 matches within one weekend in Feb, alarm bells should have rung, after all, rain, or even snow is not exactly unheard of in February, is it?

You'd think the RFL would load Widnes home games to start of season too and take full advantage of their Ipitch???
