[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/17958434Feel hard done by after been asked by the RFL to move their cup tie.[/url
Poor little Wigan
Maybe if they were a big club, they wouldn't be treated so badly by those big bullies at the RFL

Thankfully we have the RFL in our back pocket so we'll never have confrontations with them.

Saw that earlier. Pathetic isn't it. Can not see how this is the RFL fault at all. Clubs receive money from the BBC for the rights for the cup, and are therefore tied into their tv schedules if a match is chosen.
The fact that even non league clubs would have managed to get a game on, on a prime time saturday afternoon, should be very embarrasing for Wigan that they couldn't. Not owning their own ground, and more importantly been dictated to by the football side, is Wigan's problem and Wigans problem only. Don't call yourself a big club if you can't organise games at your priority.

Was there such a reaction from Wigan when they had to shift a play-off game to Widnes?

Shouldn't they be taking this up with that old geezer at Wigan Athletic?

| Ian Lenagan commented:
"[iIt is excellent to be able to demonstrate publicly the togetherness and strength of football and rugby in Wigan. Having watched personally the Wigan Athletic games against Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Fulham recently, one can touch and feel the respect for the performances of Wigan Athletic as well as Wigan Warriors. I now look forward to great crowds watching both teams together that weekend at the DW Stadium[/i."
Will he ever see daylight again? Maybe when Whelan goes for a dump! |

| Thought I'd have a look what happened last time and
Quote Dave Whelan, September 2008;
[url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyleague/2706578/Wigan-Warriors-forced-to-change-venue-for-home-draw-Rugby-League.htmlSod Off Wigan Warriors[/url or something to that effect'"
However
Quote Dave Whelan, May 2012;
[url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/17958434It is scandalous to be put in this position but we cannot see Wigan Warriors playing such a game away from home[/url'"
What's changed? |

I think in internet parlance the RFL have just owned Wigan Warriors.
www.superleaguefans.com/rugby-le ... ation.html
[iThe schedule for the 2012 Carnegie Challenge Cup was circulated last year and all clubs have had ample time to put in place contingencies should a tie in which they are involved be selected for televising.
It is the draw which decides the make-up of individual rounds, not the RFL, and whilst clubs must trust to fate, they are also aware of their responsibilities with regard to broadcast agreements.
Whilst the RFL were informed by Wigan Warriors of the potential difficulty they faced as a consequence of their unique tenancy agreement were they to be drawn at home in the quarter-finals, the club were aware that should their tie be selected for broadcast, the onus was on them to find a solution.[/i |
