According to the RFL website, it's going to be Sunday with the time TBC.

Anybody know if this is just a default setting on their half or not?

Its just over a week to the game, surely details must now been known. We need as much time as possible to flog as many tickets as possible

It's not on the Leigh or Wigan sites yet so I'll wait for the official news from them because I don't believe anything I read on the RFL site.

Its that this hasn't been confined yet! Absolute joke!

On the RFL site the day is down as still to be confirmed as well as the KO time. Same applies to Keighley v Warrington, a game that has a confirmed date and KO time (on Warrington's website) and York v Toulouse. Does seem like it is the default setting as they haven't yet updated Wire's game.

As mish posted, best to wait for the clubs to announce it.

Bbc sport has it listed as sunday with a 15:00 kick off. I really hope it is :

I have just rang the club and they said there is no date as yet as it is still being decided??

I thought it was next weekend. It will be played behind closed doors at this rate.

People in general will be making (made) and agreeing (agreed) plans for next weekend not knowing we have a game possibly on either Friday, Saturday or the Sunday.

Incredible.

Harold , thats the idea , the Wigan BOD , has seen how the Leythers reacted to the Swinton Cup - tie , and they have decide to play it behind closed doors



.

One does wonder Charlie...

However we really need to start selling some tickets. It's no use just me and you buying one at short notice.

Apparently the two clubs can't agree on a date and ticket prices, so it has gone up to Red Hall. The honeymoon period didn't last long!

Which all along is only damaging one club. The one that needs the money.

I would say a fair adult admission price would be £12 - Up to a maximum of £15 top to make it appeal to more Wiganers. Some of which will be cash strapped after following Wigan Athletic down to the capital for the FA Cup semi final this week.

My preference for the game would be Sunday 3pm kick off. However if I was Leigh CEO, I would have agreed to [u[iA[/i[/u day by Monday night (even Friday 8pm KO) just to get started on selling tickets from last Tuesday gone.


Even if it was not my choice.

The disagreement will be along the lines of Wigan offering a reduced price and Leigh rejrcting it.

Wigan Athletic have sent 10000 tickets back.

I would also suspect the same.

Yes - Out of a 31,000 allocation having potentially sold up to 21,000 tickets

It is incredible,i was told tuesday evening to go ahead and book my flight,all the players had been told it was friday night and those who needed to,had to make arraignments with their employers.
With seats going and fairs rising i went ahead and booked!..i don't know whats happened,but theres obviously been some sort of tiff.

The board need their heads banging together.

The longer they take to decide the harder it will be for myself and others to book time off work! Fingers crossed it get announced tomorrow otherwise I'm struggling to go.

I was told by the club we would know today.

People need to have some respect as today I would imagine all of the clubs board and management would have been at Arthurs funeral, give um time...............

Should have had it sorted by Wednesday the latest and by all accounts it would of been if it wasn't for Leigh, rejecting Wigan's suggestions.

As a coach at a local amateur club I was advised that communication had come from John Duffy that anyone buying tickets with an involvement in an amatuer club that the cost will be £10 per adult and £5 per child.

Whilst I can understand the vast majority associated with Leigh at board level would be rightly paying respects today at Arthurs funeral I think its fair to say I'm gobsmacked it wasn't sorted (or failed to agree on) within 1 hour of it being announced, in days of instant communication its frankly inept.
This is just one of the many reasons RL is a minority sport and whilst its easy to blame the RFL for all the games ills (and they need blaming for many) you could say if two clubs who are partners are incapable of agreeing such a simple thing such as a Kick off date and admission costs then there is little hope.

If the two clubs couldnt agree , then the RFL have to sort it and they will, we cant annouce anything if weve nothing to annouce.
Why does everyone alway think its Leigh fault.

Because this time it is. The buzz the draw created is dwindling by the hours due to lack of communication and people thinking along the lines of "if Wigan and Leigh can't be bothered to sort it out, why should I be bothered to sort out my shift patterns, family and social life around the game."
