I think we will also be giving the RFL a wad of cash too when they (correctly) fine us.

Madness..... What a fiasco...

I'm guessing sarcasm/irony but I'm going there to (happily) clap. This has been a blot in Lenegan's generally clean copybook. Embarrassing but let's move on. The team needs our support tonight.

Staging a protest but unfortunatly it will be from the Golf Tavern in Sunny North Berwick .

Regards EW

Will they play " making your mind up" as we run on to the pitch?

We also couldn't afford to build a ground equal to the quality of DW. I know DW gets slated for lack of atmosphere etc. but the facilities are very good for RL Stadia. Despite what their fans might think, Latics need us to help survive in that stadium just like we'd need them to sustain it if the roles were reversal, so leaving wouldn't be an option because Wigan Athletic wouldn't want us to leave from a business point of view.

As for the tonights game, despite what i'm going to say below it doesn't personally bother me too much that the game WAS called off but the situation is a complete shambles. I've seen some good points on twitter made by our fans about the clubs relationship with our fan base. We are excellent in some aspects as a club but in others i think were are p*ss poor and this is one of them. People may see this as an over reaction but I've thought for a number of years that the relationship between the club itself and fans isn't great because of things like this. It really puts a bad taste in fans mouths. Sounds like this one is down to the chairman, who has been done excellent over the last 10 years, but things like this needs to stop or our crowds will continue to decline. I think Wigan take for granted the fan base they have.

Is this the BIG ONE for 2017?

What exactly are you protesting against. The weather?

Not ILs finest hour but surely he has enough goodwill in the bank?

Why not just turn up and support the team?

Because just turning up is what is expected of us.... as usual. But I'm sorry not on this occasion, for me I've had enough of lenegan constantly playing the role of lord Charles to Wigan athletics Ray Allen.

Pretty much unforgivable from Lenagan given he's Chairman of the EFL and should have realised what would happen when you don't follow the correct procedures and protocols.

No doubt this weekend was put down as one of our weekends it would be difficult to play at home, but given we knew at the weekend a storm was coming Wednesday/Thursday, things should have happened much sooner. Given the state of the pitch with two games in 24 hours last weekend and the same for this (and the storm), this should have been sorted on Monday and we should have asked Widnes to switch then.

Instead we have someone who is chairman of a major sporting body not being able to organise a drink in a pub, postponing a game without consulting the opposition or the sport's governing body. Then we have the farce of the game being staged at about 8 hours notice at a different venue.

Lenagan needs to front-up, hold his hands up and apologise to everyone involved. World Champions to amateur hour in the space of 4 days.

I'm protesting the club, but supporting the team.

I would suspect a large proportion of the costs of compo or fines may be met by whoever decreed that the game was to be called off - possibly the owners of the DW?

That would all depend on the terms of the tenancy agreement that we have and whether this was something IL agreed to or whether it was something he had no choice over. I suspect either way we won't see a penny from Latics.


I'd love to know the terms of this tenancy though I doubt I ever will. I'd speculate that, as IL has said the amount we pay is very favourable therefore I suspect there are likely to a number of concessions in their favour.
