Since leneghan arrived the club has been turned from a family based club into a business venture and is more than happy to upset it's fans to maintain its corporate image. Everything about the club is business orientated and leaves very little left for the fans to enjoy.

Rubbish. The previous incumbents Uncles Mo and Dave drove the club almost to relegation despite numerous cap breaches and to a situation where its assets were negligible. IL is making the best of a bad job with the inherited stadium situation.

Lots of banter online regards the movement of our fixture moving 24hrs. Yet rewind exactly one year ago and it was Latics that moved their fixture against Charlton from the.Saturday to a Friday night to accomodate the visit of Brisbane in the WCC.

Granted their fans had a couple of months notice, not ten days.

The move of the game doesnt bother me,the lack of notice given does however it makes the club look unprofessional in my eyes

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.

Sensible is not a word i would use Brian with anything connected to this fiasco . The sensible thing would to have sorted it out pre season and let the fans know what is/was happening . We are going to go through all this palava again in a few weeks time when HKR are due in town .

Rant over

How's things ? tell Liam that Ross is wearing his shorts on Saturday and see if he is brave enough to do the same . Chickened out at the Catalan's game .

Your the one talking rubbish, what's Mo & Whelan got to do with my comment? I said leneghan has turned the club from being a family club into a corporate run business. Yes he did inherit the situation but sometimes he needs to dig his heels in and grow a pair when it comes to decision making.

This was arranged two months in advance, the decision to change the salford game is down to latics position in the table and nothing else. If they were mid-table then we wouldn't even have this thread. This farce will continue to go on and on.

The change of day does not really affect me, I would prefer a Friday game. Rather than fans boycott and lose out on already paid tickets , fans should refuse to buy next seasons tickets until the club agree to some concessions for the fans eg a minimum time frame of 2 months on fixture changes. We should have a fans meeting prior to the new season tickets being available and have the fans concerns listened to.
We are not just fans we are paying customers and I would be all for getting some concessions from the club.

I haven't checked but as the game is on a Thursday, is it being shown on Sky? If so, a Liverpool style 'Wigan Walk' would go down a treat

Not on TV, there was already a Thursday game arranged for Sky (Hull FC v Cas). The fans could definitely do something to have their say. Not buying any food, drink, programmes, golden gamble etc next Thursday would be a starting point.

it would indeed but it wouldnt get any media recognition apart from maybe a small piece in the WEP. Something needs to be done in front of a national TV audience
