I hope we put out the first 17 mate i really do.

Whatever the case it's going to be a great day for everyone involved. Your lot can't wait, we can't wait and it's a great game for rugbyleague in Cumbria and in general.

Superb.

Are tickets free for this game?

I can't see how it will be possible given the fact we're only likely to get a maximum of 2,000 tickets.

I don't think Nobby will be stupid enough to rest too many players. He has advised Des (our chairman) on a number of our signings and will know all too well what lies in store at Craven Park.

I think it's a little bit disrespectful presuming you will win easily when you know very little, if anything, about our players. There may well be 4 Super League players added to our team prior to the match as well.

You probably won't agree, but believe me, if you put 'the kids' in YOU WILL LOSE.

There will always be cup upsets but we have every right to be confident such is the gulf between NL1 and SL. At the end of the day we should have the players to beat your team easily and it's not being disrespectful or arrogant it's just we do have better players than you/

No one will be taking this game for granted that being said but 3 games in 7 days means we will have 2 give some players a rest. Like i've said we could very easily play good SL players like Mathers, Smith, Pryce, Goulding, Phelps, Prescott,Coley, Tomkins x2 and Hansen who will all be better than the standards your guys are used to playing week in week out.

Wigan would never be daft enough to put out a team totally made up of kids but they may rest 5 r 6 players for the game.

Even if we do rest that many the players coming in will have plenty of superleague experience between them and won't effect the side too much.

The likes of Mathers, Phelps, Goudling, K Pryce, Smith and Prescott are all out of the 17 at the moment and would be well up for a chance of a game in the cup against Barrow.

£15? Is that the normal price, or has it been hiked up?

No one is suggesting "Putting the kids out" we have players like Richard Mathers, Cameron Phelps, Karl Pryce, Darrell Goulding and Paul Prescott who have all played regular first team but are currently not in the side. I'd definetly bring them in because it won't weaken us too much. Wouldn't mess with the pack though.

Normally £13. You can't blame the club for cashing in a bit - it's our biggest game since we entertained the great Widnes team of 1989.

There'll be much bigger overheads as extra staff will have to be taken on as well as a police presence of some description that isn't normally required.

Plus, the club will have a hefty win bonus to pay out to its' players

Seeing as nearly all of our allocated tickets will be free to fans, then it will be the club paying the £15 not us

Nah Bradford and Harlequins thought that



If we put our "first teamers" in we will lose

The ticket deal is a RFL initiative. Every club (either in Round 3 or Round 4) will get the same free offer. Not sure who covers the shortfall - if at all. Just unlucky that we got Barrow. Could be worse the Bradford fans have little chance of taking the offer having drawn Catalans away. They go to France weekend after next then again two weeks later. Still I think Catalans v Bradford is going to be the BBC's other game.

In terms of tickets for this match they are waiting for the capacity to be confirmed by Barrow before knowing how many they have to give away.

Does anybody know when wigan will be releasing ticket details for this game, does any one work at the ticket office we could find out from.

You've got to feel sorry for Leeds and Saints they will lose around £140,000 each from having to give away the free tickets.

I'm genuinely gutted for them.

10129 was the attendence when we played at leeds last year so giving them free tickets they mite get around 17000.

Ditto. Perhaps we could have a whip round. Ive just found 20p in my pocket

Anyone going the Barrow game this Sat in order to secure a ticket?
