Once again we appear to be getting shafted by a 3rd division football team

It's all about the money. Even with that shower in the lower leagues, they're still probably bringing in more than we do with a full house. One of the only ways to get our ire noticed would be to concertedly spam Lenagan and/or the main sponsors (especially the local ones) until they get so p'd off they'd have to do something - if only offer proper refunds & not just a tenner off next season's pass.
Just for the record - Sale Sharks got hold of my address from somewhere a while ago & wouldn't/couldn't remove me from their mailing so I forwarded everything I got to their chairman, FO, all the coaches I could find & everyone associated with anything insisting they get their IT in order & stop spamming me. The IT manager subsequently got so much grief she was begging me to stop. I did when they did.
Sometimes being a bit shouty and a PITA does work.

Sensible option.
Wigan would have preferred Sunday but obviously Salford weren't keen as they have a Thursday game. Salford play Widnes this Sunday coming.

Re: Salford game : Thu Feb 18, 2016 4:25 pm  

It would be nice to think the club would now show the game live on Wigan TV to appease those of us who can't make it up on Thursdays

Re: Salford game : Thu Feb 18, 2016 4:37 pm  

Any games moved away from the DW would be a problem for me and the dozen or so kids I bring up on the train from Swinton

I don't think that will be allowed by Sky/Superleague, although it is a very good idea. See you Saturday, don't spend too long dancing in the pub on Friday night.

The only positive out of this farce is that we are not playing it on the plastic at Widnes, it is now getting beyond a joke with the Plastics calling all the shots, we need to start standing our ground ( no pun intended ), where would the DW be without rugby, shafted , we need to start looking at building our own ground,
6 Thursday night games already before any super eight or play off games, no wonder crowds will drop !
