I wouldn't trust Woods to run a p*ss-up in a brewery. Buffoon.

So is it correct they have failed to act on the 10 day rule of telling the RFL which venue it will be played?

I doubt it, but if they have then they deserve a fine.

I'm not to fussed by it all but as you point out, rules are rules.

It's no odds to saints at all, we know we are playing Wigan and it's away.

I just feel its all rather embarrising for Wigan. It needs sorting out now as its sure to pop up again sooner or later.

Thank-you

It appears that my education is perhaps not as lacking as one gained on the other side of the lump

I wouldn't disagree with that either. Hetherington's lapdog.

Bring back Uncle Mo.

When were the RFL informed?

sorry dear, but 10 days, minus 48 hrs means the RFL have to tell Saints by 2:30 tomorrow. For all we know wigan told the RFL 2 days ago (but i very much doubt it)

Correct, and I think they were told (given alternatives). If they weren't then they deserve the fine, but knowing IL it will have been done.

The RFL may not have liked those alternatives, I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

The art of negotiation is not easy, I've been through it many times. And generally women buyers were the worst. They knew the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

Yeh I doubt Wigan would be so foolish to miss the fine print on the opperational rules. I'm just being naughty. I may have to give myself a weekend ban stick.

In all honest I think they only have to advise on options, so they could have gone with a list of clubs yesterday and said we are really trying to play at the DW, but if not these are our alternates. Then just ask the Chief Exec to hold back on the announcement to both clubs until they have exhausted every avenue.

But still it's fun to speculate on wigan missing the deadline. Ban em!!!!

LOLZ

Stop being sensible, I need someone else to disagree with.

Saint_Claire seems to have taken up the mantle though.

Sorry but this is now getting tiresome,at first i had some sympathy with wigoon however that has now gone not least due to their arrogance,in so much collectivley they are expecting the beeb to back down cos "were wigan rugby","greatest show on earth"part of which i agree with cos you certanly are the greatest show on earth as the last few days have proved; so ROLL UP ROLL UP GET YOU TICKETS FOR THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH,you certainly are a bunch of clowns from top to bottom,from IL to the ultras(were are they!!!! sorry its exam time)and their probably too busy robbin marker pens from staples..

biggest club in the world,your not even the biggest club in wiggon..lol.an the world is watching and

at the mighty wigoon rugby

Leave our Claire alone Rogues. She's my friend and I stand by her. You'll have two of us to contend with. Remember I took the right route out of Billinge not the wrong one.

This is beyond farcical and a major,major embarrassment for Wigan RL and for the game in general.

And to think that some of the jokers that follow them have been trying to tell us over their board not so long ago that it's better to rent a stadium than to own one!

Not saying that now, are they.

According to the Warriors site the cup tie will be played at the DW next Saturday at 2.30pm

Correct. - [urlhttp://www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id=7095&type=1[/url

Now we can look forward to the first ever cup derby at the DW.

They can play where they want, I won't be going after this week's fiasco.

At last, the RFL standing up to the Goons

"Wigan Rugby League Club Ltd were instructed yesterday by the Board of Directors of the Rugby Football League Governing Body ("RFL"icon_wink.gif that Wigan must play their quarter-final match against St Helens on Saturday afternoon 12th May at 2:30pm at another stadium if the DW Stadium is not available."

What a bleating little buffoon IL comes over as in that article.

"We also feel that the RFL scheduling of Challenge Cup rounds has been poor with three rounds in 30 days followed by 9 weeks before the semi-finals. More importantly, no account seems to have been taken of the clear conflicts with football-shared stadiums on the weekend of the 13th May with immovable Premier League final matches taking place "

Only the Goons share a ground with a PL side, it is up to them to get their own house in order, and not expect the rest of the league to have to make any alterations to suit them.

Never mind

Totally embarrising

So we Saints fans don't even have a stand because of a WEDDING.

Farce.

After all this your fans are now being separated because of Wigan's incompetence?!
What a complete farce not just to WiganRL but to the whole of RL and the Challenge Cup.
Because Wigan have basically thrown their toys of the pram you have to suffer?!

And they wonder why so many people dislike them as a club.
