Wire will play Wigan at the magic weekend on on the Saturday 7pm at Newcastle

I thought we might get Widnes this year!! Will be a monumental tussle against what will probably be one of our main rivals for the league.

No, you play the Champions.

Not being funny but can we stop with the name calling,it's been done enough now and is becoming childish in my opinion.

I agree. In recent times Wigan have played tough but fair for me.

+1

Sorry

Well said.

One of only two games that interests me. Done the full weekend for the past 5 or 6 years, certainly only doing Saturday this season.

Glad to see we are same end as Wakey fans and Hull fans. Not nice last year with Wigan and Widnes fans very hostile at times.

Catalan away first game.

Average temperature in February 9C. ................mind you, the hotels will not be very full.

That's.massively dissapointing on us and also for cats we take a large crowd there but it is bigger when played July August.

Why not have clubs that have the lower attendances first?? Makes more sense to me

Whilst I agree with this.. I have to say plenty of it goes on on their board too.. And they actually encourage each other to do it ...

Is that official about Cats in Feb?
I understand we've requested a summer fixture, and SJM prepared to stupid up the bond to get a Barca fixture.
Extremely disappointing if correct.

I spoke to our Chairman in Perpignan a couple of years ago and he told me that Cats ask the RFL to play us in the Summer months every year, because of the large crowd we take over. Obviously the RFL aren't taking the slightest bit of notice of them. I've only missed twice, but I am even getting fed up with going in February and March. Last year it was freezing. I was told last night that it is Huds first game then Cats away.

Hope this isn't true about an early fixture in France, it's my favourite game. Suppose you could always make a long weekend of it and head up into the mountains for some fun in the snow.
I also spoke to our chairman in Perpignan last month and we aren't playing in Barca, let's hope we get em in the Super 8s away again. It's a massive loss in revenue for Les Dracs tho, a real shame.

Yes if there was to be a Barcelona fixture it would probably need 18 months preparation.
But still a big blow for the Perignan local economy if the SL and Sky have once again tried theit upmost in screwing the Wire up.
(Conspiracy theory?)
