| Quote: Chris28 "I'd prefer a management company that maximised the revenue for the facility, by undertaking as many events as they practically can. The fact that the SMC has not been able to commit to an event in late October/ November this year says to me that they have little idea of how to manage the stadium.
Football fixtures by definition cannot be set up until the end of this season, so how can they stay that they cannot commit to an event as there might be a fixture in place? Simple answer is they can't.
There are plenty of factors to take into account when the footie fixtures are drawn up. An international rugby match, which could be set up NOW, or very soon, is one factor that would be taken into account when summer comes and the fixture compute is switched on. Simple really.
I wonder how this fits into the actual role of the SMC chairman. Would be interesting to see his job description.'"
Yep completely agree and would add that here we have a Management team who prioritise keeping the Stadium empty because of the start of a Clipper Race rather than have a Rugby League International. That was one of the excuses he gave! I repeat for the enth time if MR Duffen is right about the football league then how come Wigan's 4 nations game is on sale and in the television schedules at a Premiership Stadium when we would have benn unable to confirm a date until June!
Are we expected to believe as the mail states that the only game that Wigan have asked the League for exemption from is the International weekend what about Wigans last two fixtures? Are we also expected to believe that a bloke (Wheelan) who owns his Stadium and the Football club and has nothing to do withe the RL club is going to break the rules of the Premiership to announce a date for a RL International against the wishes of the Premiership!!
Its a bake and we have been trussed up. Best to just get on with it and forget about an International, but perhaps for future reference remember which side the SMC's bread is buttered on in future! |

That's why we're all questioning the decision. It should be that easy. The fact that other shared facilities have been able to commit to a date backs that up. |

All existing and generally known ways to immortality can be divided into four catagories.
The way of the Fakir.
The way of the Monk.
The way of the Yogi.
The most honourable being 'The way of the FC'

Duffen has bowed to the Premier/Football League..........his master.
The rest of the sporting community can swivel in his opinion.

The Clipper dates are also firmed up - 13th September according to the website.
Do the SMC not sit down at the beginning of each year and review a list of possible additional uses for the stadium? The Test matches have been scheduled for a while - maybe the SMC should be the ones asking the RL to host the fixture, rather than just sitting back and doing nothing. Are they not bothered about maximising revenue at the stadium? |

Kingston Upon Hull Hockey Club dont have to travel from Auckland and need 5 months to plan a home match!
They also dont have to let Humberside Police know when they have to cancel leave to ensure they have enough officers to be at their game, they also dont have to let Sky know when to co-ordinate facilites etc etc.'"
He's right, why don't we just lock the doors and abandon the place, it's soo much hassle after all  |

You've stolen my washing
From out my back garden
You've tarmacked my driveway
Even though I said no
You've nicked my lead flashing
And weighed it in at the scrappy
Oh St Helen's tatters
Come rob me again:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25852.jpg |

Oh dear
For your information i do NOT have a dislike of rugby league. I happen to very much enjoy the game with a passion. Perhaps some of you need to get over your dislike of football. After all, that's the real issue here.
Never went to Boothferry Park? Practically lived there in the 90's, long before it became fashionable to be a City fan. Didn't miss a home game for over 4 years, was one of the hardy 1775 souls who turned up for a Tuesday night match with Torquay, etc. Chris Simpkin? Before my time, but my dad saw him play.
Your great love? Oh wonderful, another plastic Man Utd fan.
One last thing, a Paul Duffen love-in? You'd dearly love a chairman as popular with the fans as he is. End of.

Queueing for tickets, how quaint.
Anyway, i saw Duffen yesterday, driving his Lamborghini. Nice to see he's putting the money from your pockets to good use! |
