As league leaders our match should be the first match played, if as rumoured we are playing on the Sunday that will be the last match of the first round matches. Sky should insist that the league leaders kick off the tournament and play on the Friday. At home at the DW Stadium.

Latics are home on the Sat, we cant play the day before them, hence we play Sunday..........end of.

Why?

and run the risk of having to play the game in another stadium (under the present circumstances with DW) NO THANK YOU.

would rather play on the sunday at our own ground.

you play when SKY say so. end of.

We will play it at Leigh.

We ARE playing at home on Sunday 12th September v Hull or Leeds.

Sky have already decided when the games are - we can play in one of them. HTH.

I'm just giving them what they want to hear so they might go away

You should get more away support for the sunday at least.

I dont think so, i cant see many hull fc fans coming across for a 1845 kick off on a sunday night when 99% of people will have work/school would say 1000 tops if its leeds 1700 max.

I dont that would would have much of an impact to be honest. Considering we brought over 2000 for the league fixture, I would expect a massive following from us for a sunday evening play-off game (gotta beat Leeds first though!).

I think it'll be

5th v 8th - Friday 8:00pm
6th v 7th - Saturday 3:30pm
2nd v 3rd - Saturday 5:45pm
1st v 4th - Sunday 6:45pm

Hull would probably bring just as many over as Leeds I think.

Leeds' away support at Wigan over the past few seasons has been pretty poor.

i hope your right

8:45 p.m. in Skala, Kefalonia. Ohhhhhhh Yesssssss.
Nice pre match meal, bottle or two of a good red wine, then into Vetos to watch the game whilst quaffing a few beers.

Sounds pretty good to me, what about you Captain?

you will play in the one that SKY say you are playing in. Its not a free choice. SKY may be generous and let you play on the Sunday, which they probably will do (and should do IMO), but they may say it is on the Friday.

So despite you being told 3 or 4 times you still think you know more!! We cant play fri or sat therfore sunday will be the day! The club have already had talks with the RFL and sky after the Widnes farce!
Plus we are Wigan so we dictate to sky!!

Well we can't play Friday and Leeds can't play Sunday.

Sunday 12 September 2010
NatWest Series
10:15 England v Pakistan Headingley Carnegie

So if Leeds win at Hull it would make perfect sense for Leeds to play Friday and Wigan Sunday.

why can you not play on Friday? just because the DW Stadium [imight[/i be unavailable, doesn't mean that Wigan Warriors are unavailable.

as much as you try to protest, you all know deep down that if SKY say Wigan are playing on Friday there will be no negotiation and you may have to find an alternative venue for the game.

Wigan ARE playing Sunday at Home v Leeds or Hull.

FWIW I know SKY can dictate whatever the hell they want. However, I know neither SKY, the RFL or Wigan will allow a farce like the Widnes fiasco to happen again. We will play Sunday. End of thread.

Well considering Wigan give sky some of the best viewing figures in RL, I think they'll do whatever we want



Who exactly are you trying to convince here? You or us?

No your right we are playing friday night at Orrell or LSV. We wanted Widnes but they said they have a small club sharing with them!!

Seeing we can't play at home on Friday or Saturday - I think it's safe to assume Sky and the RFL will ask us to play our game on Sunday.

As I said to you last week when you were desperately trying to convince yourself of the same argument, there's now four games in week 1 of the play-offs spread over three days, instead of one on Friday and one on Saturday as in previous years. Sky aren't as brain dead as your argument.
