Yellow Moron will be upset

I wonder if the RFL/WiganRLFC offered Whelan the opportunity to have an England v New Zealand test match at his stadium provided that Wigan could play the WCC game at the DW on Sat 21st Feb.

Having a RL International at your stadium is, I believe, very lucrative.

An interesting turn of events.

I think you are right on this one. It's the way these things are negotiated. Of course, with the RFL wanting to stage one of the games in Lancashire and with the Saints, Warrington and Salford grounds being far too small to hold the game it makes sense to hold it at the DW.



They'd want to hold one of the tests in Wigan anyway. My guess would be Huddersfield and Hull for the other two. They could probably sell out those three with some decent marketing.

As much as it's funny to wind Wigan fans up about the stadium, this is really good news. Can't wait for these three games, hopefully all in front of big crowds.

The ticket prices make perfect sense Rogues. Why would a friendly be as expensive as the World Club Challenge?



Nice to see you're still hanging around redvee after your ban.

Warrington prices are shocking.

supply and demand i guess but....yep

I'd guess all the sides/the RFL will want to make a similar amount of money from each game. Wires ground is the smallest so the tickets are the most expensive.



A touch unfair on the Wire fans but there's still plenty of affordable tickets.

I am officially heartbroke. The 21st Feb is my daughter's birthday. Looks like I'll be watching it on telly.

You may well be right, Wire only have a small stadium so can afford to charge a higher price because not that many can fit in!

I yearned for the days when a 15,000 crowd for a rugby league club game was called "small"



I hope all games sell well particularly ours and Wigans which do have that little touch of "only a friendly" about them.



I would love the Wire game to sell out especially given some of the prices of those more expensive tickets, but I'll be happy being in a packed south stand in 10,000 crowd and having paid £2.50 more than normal....
