I’ll be miffed if he goes there as that will not improve his career. (well not miffed really as I don’t rate him but you get my point)
New stand down that side of the pitch is going to hold 5500 but will be split between home and away fans.Except when the big boys come. No way will they NOT give Utd, Liverpool, Everton 5500
There could be truth in this as Blackpool had asked the Premier League for their first game to be played away for some reasonThey don’t think the ‘new’ away end will be ready
To be honest, The Egg, a bit of give and take is all that is required. However, the arrogance of some ( but not all ) of the rugby lot on RLfans.com is beyond belief.Latics have already given ground by not requesting a home fixture on the opening day, to expect us to play more or less every game away from home until the end of September because Wigan Warriors might have a play off fixture ( might being a key word ) is not on at all, you only have to look at our away form last season to see what a disadvantage Latics would be at.
There are years and years of precedent where Latics and the rugby are concerned, mostly Latics giving way e.g. we only played one home fixture on Boxing Day throughout the 90s to accommodate the Rugby v Saints.
I know the RL lot will say that their play off games are more important but then there were, what 8000 at the Castleford play off game last season compared to 20000 possibly at a Wigan v Sunderland game.
And of course football is not as fluid as rugby: Sunderland fans will have to travel further, may have booked hotel and it’s less likely that both set of fans can walk up and pay on the day.
The revenue through the gate and for TV rights dwarves probably ten times over what an RL play off game would bring in.
Contrary to what some people on RL have been saying about me [big wave to you all] I am not so anti-RL. I merely like pointing out the small minded ness of many RL fans, after all the drivel they write about WAFC fans, a team and sport they care not to care for
There’s not too much I have said in the above that is even worthy of debate, it is mostly fact. Unfortunately, what is called passion by a lot of RL fans in Wigan, looks suspiciously like hypocrisy to the outside world for all the reasons i have stated above.
I only wish there were more people like you with a foot in both camps to try and add a sense of realism to the debate.
Anyone with a rational mind would not expect a game in the biggest league in the world to be moved for a regional play off which will not even be confirmed as a fixture until the week before but this lot aren’t rational.
It’s all part of the deal of sharing grounds and a town I’m afraid and both clubs have had to give ground over the years
Latics moving to the Sunday would be the ideal situation or indeed Wigan playing Sunday night rather than Friday
There really isn’t any need to wind up the rugby fans.They’ll be posting in there droves if they have to move a couple of games in the coming weeks as is looking possible.
Looking at it there could be 6 weeks to sort it out. Wigan could have top spot wrapped up by the end of the month and the playoffs start Sept 11th.
The massive problem will come if we lose the first week and have to play at home the week after.

Said when he signed that he would be captain eventually.
Top weekend again.
Yes the World Cup is really coming too now egg[/quote]
No it isn’t. It has still been a HUGE let down and I don’t mean just because England were crap.
You must just be really unlucky cos I got sent a Blankety Blank cheque book and pen after 13 years and a crackerjack pencil after 14.
Had nothing since though :(
Wigan will say good-bye to a hero on Thursday. Gone but not forgotten. RIP Darby xxHope the Town Centre comes to a stand still and shows the lad the respect he deserves.
Top weekend again.
Dundee for my birthday sounds good……….then again I might wait a week and do Blackpool.
Decisions, decisions.
A few pints of the black stuff were no doubt enjoyed over in the Emerald Isle (it still wasn’t definite Ireland would have won btw as I continue to point out to my cousin)
Gutted I’m missing this :(
