Is it on Sky? will be going the game, just need to know if i need to record it before i go

Sure is fella SS2

Cheers mate. Had a look on the site, didn't have the sky logo next to it. Why do Wigan seem to get all Friday night games on Sky? im not complaining because they are playing us, but they always seem to be on a Friday night.

I think Wigan have elected to play their home games on a Friday

yes it is on sky 8pm

Correct.

How come? i didnt know you could do that, i prefer night games, better atmosphere IMO.

They've done it for a couple of seasons now.

stains do it as well, their decision.

Probably told to by their Landlords!

Be interesting to see what happens again if they get a home tie in the play offs on the same weekend as the Latics have a home game!

Happened before and it got re-arranged IIRC.

It is up to clubs which day they play there home games on, but they know that if the game is selected as a SKY game then it could be moved to a different day than normal.

Saints, Wigan, Leeds and Hull all play the majority of home games on a Friday. The bonus is that it means if the game is selected for SKY there is less chance of it being moved (unless they want it on the Saturday of course)

Over 10 seasons.

Sky switched so many games to Friday that Wigan decide to play all their games then. It makes sense from a promotional and match sponsorship perspective as they know the game is going to be played on a Friday.

The only change was Celtic this season which was moved to Sunday and Wigan organised a big amateur tournament for juniors on the morning of the game. This was done before the season kicked off so had no effect on the sponsorship packages.

This is probably going to be one of the atmospheric matches of the season. A party atmosphere. WEMBRLEE !

The party will probably be short lived especially if our boys aren't focused properly.

Give over, the rugby is a sideshow from Fridays fun.

Sideshow...I think not.

We haven't guaranteed a spot in the playoffs yet matey

Doesn't matter this week.

There's so much fun to be had, we could be losing 50-0 on Friday, I know the crowd will be chanting, I'd hazard a good guess at which song too.

Should be a good game


I shall giving out Try signs :/ ... but luckly for me I have VIP tickets and enterence to the player's lounge

.

...... and the fact Smithy is resting alot of 'injured' players.

The pies out for revenge. The wires out for a laugh and giggle. Imagine if wires turned over the pies, even with Kev Penny in its squad... go on the wire turn em over.

Not sure about the muckers on here saying "who cares its party time" luckily its not Cullen in charge who probably agree, or not be up to getting them of the ale and back into RL focus mode, Smithy should have them grounded and a plan to do it again. I hope.

Dont care about the result. 80 minutes of wembley songs and gloating.

Madness. Would understand if you were clear inside the top 8, but this loss, and maybe a loss straight after the cup could result in a 9th place finish. AND if you did lose the final. Thats nothing but a ruddy marvelous hang over from 2009... yes I know there is always "Next year" ...we heard that one before.

We could lose every game and I wouldn't care that much. Of course I want to win, but it's not going to matter on friday. One thing matters, and that is, WE'RE GOING TO WEMBLEY!!!

Really disappointed with our injury list.
I assume they are all legit (unlike some other clubs who have a rash of injuries in the week before the CC final).
King's hamstring is a concern - that could be weeks...... maybe it's not too serious.
Harrison was always going to be doubtful.
Hicks's finger was a suprise....... unclear what the issue is.
and with Carvell out too, can't say I'm suprised we bring back Steve P.

Anybody any idea how close grix is to coming back - the others are all known long term casualties.

Can't say I fancy our chance much.....
