Make em forefit the game! That'll teach em!

Saints should kick up a fuss about this. It's next weekend isn't it? How are we supposed to plan for that when they can't even decide which rent-a-ground they will be using?

On Tuesday evening it was on the BBC website that the game would be played on Saturday 12 May at 2.30PM with the venue to be announced.

I have since been told that the kick off and the day cannot and will not be moved and it is up to Wigan to arrange a suitable venue.

F.I.O.S.

I think there is a real danger of the fans, the management and in particular the players losing focus here regarding this debacle.

This is a massive game for the club and whether it is at Wigan,Widnes, Warrington, Bolton, Old Trafford, we have to be focussed and determined to win.

My gut feelign is that we would have more chance at DW because if Wigan have to move, they will use it as a motivation to show that they can beat us anywhere and this is a big worry for me.

...And all this talk of over twenty thousand attendance is nonsense too.

Saturday afternoon match.....Terrestial TV....Ninth or tenth derby this season (!) ..... that should mean about fourteen thousand will be nearer the mark. Any of the sensible alternatives (Saints, Widnes, Warrington, Leiigh) will therefore be just about right.

Tough match but fancy Saints by twelve....

Saints have confirmed that it will be played on the Saturday with a 2.30pm KO the venue will be announced later today.

So long as it's the Wigan players and management that lose focus, I could not care less. As far as Saints are concerned they know we are playing wigan so they have no need to get involved in this. Just leave it to us fans to have our fun, whilst they work their butts off to get ready next week.
