| I suspect the games will be played Thu & Fri, with Leeds being given the Thursday slot whether they finish first or second because sky (aka the Sinfield/McGuire fan club) want to give them the best possible chance to win the GF. No doubt, despite the DW being available, our fixture will be played on the moon at 3am just so that the winners of that tie have some additional jet lag to contend with.

| Quote Jukesays="Jukesays"So were now complaining about a game moving that may or may not got moved and in fact will 99% not get moved that we haven't even qualified for?
Asking that Latics should postpone a fixture when for all we know there may be no issue and if I remember correctly in the last couple of years we have played Thursday/Friday before football played at weekend so pretty sure there won't ne a problem?
If there is I'll stand back and let a 100 page moaning thread evolve, but surely until then we can try not to moan about something we haven't qualified for, that may not be an issue?
Sometimes I want to rip my own arm off and beat myself over the head with it just to numb the pain!
'"
come on Jukesay, ive not had a good moan for ages. Let me have my fun
Seriously, its hypothetical as yet , as you point out, but if I can see the possibility of it happening, then surely the people in charge can? Either way it could be a nailed on cert 3 weeks before the event, so lets wait and see.
My moneys on a last minute decision that not enough notice was given

How?
The semi final dates for the play offs have been known since the fixtures came out which IIRC was October/November 2014!!

| I'll hypothesise a bit further. What if we play our final super 8 game against Castleford already assured of 2nd place and a Castleford win would deprive Saints of a top four spot. Do we turn out a weak team or what?

because back then I doubt anyone on the footy side of things foresaw the possibility of a Warriors home tie in the knock outs, or even cared

| The game WILL take place at The DW if we come second, Leeds quite rightly, will be given the option of Thursday, for an extra days break, or Friday, for a bigger crowd. Latics will play Walsall on the Saturday. And as it's not televised they can delay the kick off to prepare the ground if necessary.
Mind you Millwall is free that weekend so you never know.

Why has there been no announcement from the Club about this possibility? I think it's outrageous that the fans are being kept in the dark.

Exactly, what are the plans if there is a nuclear attack during a game, if the scores are level will it be golden point ?,will pie sales be suspended, if the game is replayed can you still use your season ticket ?

Now you are being silly! Pie sales will never be suspended.

They took one game to Barcelona against Warrington a few years back. Other than that they've played in Perpignan since the current ground was upgraded in 2007.

Sorry to be such a "smart aris" ( I do not like saying ont tinternet) but Lancashire County Cricket Club have played 4 first team matches on different grounds this season.
Old Trafford, Blackpool, Southport and Liverpool, its how the question is put.

'" Yes of course, county cricket clubs tend to belong to the wider county rather than one specific town. Yorkshire used to play everywhere from Middlesbrough to Sheffield including the annual Scarborough festival.
Glamorgan are the only ones to my knowledge who take a game on the road, so to speak. They play Lancashire at Colwyn Bay. I wonder if their chairman has any link to IL?

A lot of County Cricket clubs play at more than one venue and Glamorgan very often play the Lancashire fixture at Colwyn Bay,
