I think the ship has sailed. Genuinely can't think of anywhere actually in Wigan that would be suitable for a stadium now - admittedly I don't spend a great deal of time in Wigan these days so people more local might know of somewhere. Agreed though that Wigan need a stadium closer to the likes of Saints, Warrington and Leigh, which I've always been a bit jealous of as they're great little stadiums.

Wolves sign Josh McGuire

Thankfully he's not been convicted of a crime. He has (if he did it) however broken a code of conduct he agreed to when he decided to be professional rugby league player in this country and that private organisation can dish out fines/bans as they want. Pretty sure he still gets his wages, so he isn't being deprived of a living either. Not sure why the only real defence is "it wouldn't bother me so it shouldn't bother anyone". Well done, insults don't affect you, have a pat on the back. Victim blaming rubbish. -
Hull KR warned about their fans yet again.

Someone might be able to offer a more comprehensive answer but I think we're some way from proper facial recognition, especially in the civil world. It's being used by the police but it's use isn't ubiquitous, ie, they only deploy it when they're looking for someone specific and have lots of data points to use like clear high quality images from a mug shot for example. Compare this to where you'd be basing your facial recognition on a few pixels of CCTV footage. It will also be subject to a lot of legal challenge on the road to being deployed more widely too.
