I got tickets through the club yesterday. The game is advertised as taking place on Sunday 8th March at 3.30pm. I happened to notice a change on the BBC site by accident. After a bit of searching, I noticed that the Cas site announced on Tuesday a change to Friday 6th at 8.00pm. It's to avoid a four day turnaround with their next fixture, which they've known about for weeks.

The Friday suits me fine but I'm guessing a lot of fans won't be able to get over on a Friday evening after work.

No mention when they sold me the tickets. No announcement on the website.

Just another little gripe to add. The tickets for tomorrow have the kick off at 7.45 but every media outlet has it at 8.00pm.

The Cas game was changed this week but hasn't really been announced for everybody to know which is a shame.

Re: tomorrow, I understand sky moved it last week to 8pm ko from the original 7.45pm but not sure the reasoning. apart from because they are sky

No news article on the official site. Useless.

Wigan haven't actually agreed with it yet purely because they dont wan't the game to be moved. Cas, for some reason, decided to announce that the match has changed dates. The date of the match remains unclear. I'd expect it to move to the friday though. Silly from Castleford in my opinion.

Re Brisbane game kick off time - RFL decided to change it last week after 13,000 tickets have been sold and distributed with 7:45pm kick off time on - typical i know. For sky coverage i presume.

I really don't see how a game kicking off 15 minutes later than orginally planned has any impact anyway. I've seen a few people getting their knickers in a twist over that but I don't see what the big deal is.

The Cas game situation is farcical, however. The game is 2 weeks away, it's either been moved or it hasn't. People need to buy tickets and make travel arrangements, the decision needs to be made and the fans made aware ASAP.

Cas game was moved due to them playing the following Thursday in order to give them more recovery time. Blame Sky!

How long have Cas known about their Thursday game ? Fans get treated with contempt think I will keep my money in my pocket .

Only since October .

Salford away Monday 6th April
Catalans home Sunday 12th April
Wire home Thursday 16th April (4 day turn around)

Will the Catalans game be moved to the Saturday to create 2 x 5 day turn arounds..?? Athletic are away to Fulham on Friday 10th

That's what I thought , hope Wigan dig their heels in so to speak ! Presume Wigan have to agree to the late change .

But what about the away fa... oh yeah...

Wire are also away on Sunday 12th, so at least it's even, but they should both be changed to Saturday IMO.

Lenegan has started doing a weekly "Chairman's Chatter" thing on Wigan TV. On the latest one from yesterday he was asked about the Cas fixture and reckons it was changed by the RFL without Wigan agreeing to it. Wigan haven't announced anything as yet because they are appealing the move to the Friday and want it playing on the Saturday instead. He reckons they'll find out the decision "within 48 hours" so guessing it'll be confirmed either way tomorrow.

At least IL is digging his heels in so to speak

If Wigan have not agreed with this , why has it been changed on the website . Its not like Wigan to change anything quickly on there .

Regards , EW

Castleford advertising it on big posters around Castleford as Friday 6th March

If it's already on our website as Friday it's safe to say that'll be the date.

It's a ridiculous situation though for it not to be set in stone just over a week from the game.

I never miss cas away but this year its a matter of principle to not go as i took sunday off as a days boliday,how many other wiganers aint going because of the change,if most boycott the game they might think twice about doing this in future as it would hit them in the pocket

2 more here , £50 or so staying in my pocket.

already used up all spare holiday for Thursday/Friday games as I live near Coventry, late notice from Cas means I will miss this one unless I take a whole day off work and lose a whole days pay

Another 2 here. Would've been there Sunday or even if it was moved forward to the Saturday. Simply not feasible on a Friday with this short-notice.

I went to Cas last year; stopped over with a mate in Nottingham and drove up the M1. Not going to happen on a Friday, though.
