Not a cat in hells chance that Whelan will allow his beloved team play within 24 hours after our game.

Difficult to say. They haven't played yet, don't see any reason why they should start then...

| I cant see it being anything but us playing Sunday & the Sunday game moving to Friday.
We will play after Wigan Athletic and thats the way it will always be. Whelan wont chuck us out again. Id love to know why the stadium can be turned around one way and not the other though?!
Still, the club should be able to confirm this now, regardless of who we play.

Do SKY, who run the game, not want the games on Fri and Sat.

| Not necessarily.
I seem to recall that Sky have stated before that the playoff game dates are basically set in stone, and that the order of play is not subject to change.
Therefore, if the 1st v 4th game is scheduled to take place on the Friday, then that is the way it HAS to be.
Maybe they've relaxed this rule over the past couple of years, but I wouldn't bet on it.

| I'd hoped that our 'co-operation' in moving last weekend's Huddersfield match to the Sunday to accommodate Latics switching their Blackpool game to the Saturday might've been part of an agreement that'd allow us to use the stadium for a Friday night first round play-off match - but now I'm thinking that we moved that one because we were told we couldn't use the stadium the night before a Latics game regardless and they get priority no matter what.
If it's at Robin Park on the Sunday, then that's an alright compromise I guess (though, it's all 'give' on our part and all 'take' on DW/Athetic's). I'd much rather we played on the Friday night, mind - not least because if we were to lose against Hull or Leeds in that game, it'd give us an extra couple of days turn-around to the next match, which would be a supposed advantage of having finished top. Worst case is that we're not allowed to use the stadium on the Friday, but Sky are allowed to insist that 1st v 4th is their Friday night match, and we have to move it to Widnes or something. That would be unfair beyond belief.

| Latics now own the stadium. What they say is what we have to put up with I'm afraid, especially given the good deal we get from Whelan.

| It's quite simple. If Sky decide ( and it is their decision!) we are playing on Friday or Saturday, prepare for a trip to Widnes or Leigh. The club could have prevented this with a little foresight. Just as Old Trafford is kept free for GF day, so could the DW have been for the Ist Round play-off.

But the GF is a definite date, known 12 months in advance.
A Top 2 finish, thus a home round playoff was only confirmed yesterday.

| We should have a friendly with Latics to decide whether we get chance to play Friday or not. 45 mins football and 40 mins Rugby, i reckon we would win at both

If we were playing on the Friday, groundstaff would have been told they were working overtime on the Friday night/Saturday morning. This is not the case.

it depends which game they want on in the biggest viewing timeslot. They would be well within their rights to choose 1st -v- 4th as being on Friday.
