Are we to be a sky game or not at all ?

Wig v Stains and Cats v Wire are the games according to the Wigan forum !

I`m hoping we `re not televised.....We don`t want the Whinos to be humiliated nationally do we...

Sky have both slots on their schedule 8pm Friday & 5.30 Sunday but haven't selected the games yet.

I fancy we'll be the Friday game on Sky. Considering the alternatives are being on council telly and/or clashing with the last day of the Premier League season, I consider that a win.

Key that we appear on TV to get the money - but Friday night might be good for Leigh fans to attend. If on Sky less will be tempted/able to stay at home at watch it. We might get fewer Leeds fans on a Friday night though..

8pm next friday apparently

Yep. We are on Sky next Fri at 8.

Not a Friday Evening fan personally, but deffo the better option than share with the last day of the prem. All gonna be a bit mad at the club having not much more than a week to sort the corporate/advertising - lets hope the fans back em at the turnstiles.

Bring it on

The day is errelevent to me but should we be asking semi pro players to play against one of the strongest teams in the CC on a sunday and then ask them to go out the following friday and play against arguably the best team in SL ?,or is that an over reaction?

Ah well c'est la vie as we say here in the posh part of Salford.

Despite Leeds being overwhelming favourites' because of that' I doubt they will bring as many as we would have taken to the crumbling stadium'place where they play.

We would have taken more to Saints Wire or Pieland than they will bring here and that will be seen a week on Friday' ' and' all RL fans in this country know it.

For a supposedly big club I doubt they will bring many to our state of the art stadium.

Tight miserable smug beggars. Lets hope they prove me wrong but no point in opening the South and East stands for their small bunch of supporters.

Maybe their fans will read this and prove me wrong.

Is this fact John i hope so it's the only day i am off work.

Yep. As I posted earlier we are on Sky Fri at 8.

fact mate

Cheers lads

Where does it say that we're playing of the Fri? I can't find it anywhere.

It's true Mish 8pm Friday - I've been told officially via the grapevine!

I hope so another weekend (a full week in fact) at Chatteau Mettalica and our Dave can do the commentary as his press deadline aint until 7pm Sunday - the late Sunday one would have scuppered that.

I'm not saying it's not true, I just like seeing the facts for myself.

That's why i was asking as well Mish.

Whilst no fan of Friday games I think this one might work in our favour.
Admittedly it will effect away support and some home support but we are not going to be head to head with the Premier League last day fixtures which would have hampered our home support with so many local Premier League clubs possibly having a lot to play for at either end of the division.

Would have been nice to have us on BBC so a big audience could have seen us play but the Friday night fixture is a popular RL slot for SKY and a regular in many pubs up and down the country.

Apparently if Hudds Town FC finish in their current league position they will be at home in the play offs on the Saturday. This means the Giants won't be allowed to play at the Galpharm on the Friday so can only play on the Sunday, therefore we will be playing Friday.

And the only day i am off work as well JENKY, and only on nights the day after, so get the ale in Roman Officer and Frank it's your rounds.

Can't make the Friday but I'm sure we''ll find a suitable watering hole in T'Egypt.

Think I bought last mate



Cya this Sunday at Sheffield and after you get me a pint we'll discuss it.

I like floodlit games so I'm happy if it's Friday.
