take her to the match......lol

Hi Wigan fans nice draw for both clubs although for different reasons. Hope you travel over in numbers unlike our neighbours did last week. Will be great to see some of the best players in this country playing against Fev and I hope Sam T isn't having his best game because he be hard to handle if he's having a bad day People think chase is good although what he did to tangi was out of order but in my opinion. Sam is well above him skill wise Lets hope we can give a good account of our selves against one if not the best S/L club this year.

She's 6, and not really a fan. I'd take her to a home match in theory (if I was sure she wouldn't get bored, which I think she would), but with respect to Fev, I'm not taking her there.

Should be a tough game, but easy enough draw.

I remember Fev away was always tough. Even in our period of dominance in the 80's-90's we always seemed to lose at Post Office Road. They were a 'bogey' team for us back then.

what's the capacity at the Big Fellas..??

6700 I think

Wikipedia says 6,750

Depends who is asking





Looking forward to seeing the mighty wigan at POR....

Old skool. Really looking forward to this.

Mate let me quosh that "Fevs a bad place" crap...bring your daughters grannies,grandads etc etc...we did not have any trouble at all Saturday.

Bring thousands mate we need the cash...oh and just be gentle with us

correct call !





Oh and by the way to put Sam Tomkins and Rangi Chase in the same sentence is doing Sam Tomkins a wrong..

Chase could not lace Tomkins boots

Can we play down brew in the first half?

If a brew is a hill in Wigan then yes

I didn't say that. I said I didn't want to take her because it's a long way to go for her to just get bored.

Fair enough I wasn;t have a pop just putting record straight because there maybe people that have that concern thats all.

bloody hell, is it really almost 18 years since that sunny afternoon at the start of the season when we last played at POR.....1994 August.....damn I must be getting old...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant wait for my 1st visit to POR should be a cracking game and hope our fans travel over in numbers to make a cracking atmosphere.

Really looking forward to this one

Good draw for us.

Anything but Friday for me.

Stuck in London overnight Friday 27th and will be a major rush to get back if Saturday, but I'll damn-well do it.

My ideal would be Sunday.

Agreed. I remember some really tough games there, always remember there used to be loads of needle, I think two players they used to have that always caused us problems were Chris Bibb, and the shi*house Brendan Tuta, anyone remember these two?

when will it be annouced which teams will be on tv?

I come off the M62 at Pontefract past the racecourse then turn right just after Ponte centre.

Best draw possible really. We've got a game we should win but it will be a very good contest away from home at a proper old style ground which should be watched by a near full house.

A proper cup match.

Chris Bibb - full back, Brendan Tuuta, NZ test player, second row or loose foward, nick named "the baby faced assassin". I've only been the once, in the 93/94 Dorahy season, we lost something like 35-24, I think, and Dorahy had a right pop at Nigel Wright, who was playing stand-off, and had a bit of a mare that day.

Featherstone deserved the win, if memory serves, but they were always tough games over there.

Great draw for us, would have prefered to get Oldham at home and meet you lot in the next round but financially this is a cracking draw for us and will help keep us in the spotlight for a week or two.
For us to win you'd need to rest all your first team but it won't stop Fev fans being optimistic after beating our closest rivals.
When you get there if you see all the steelwork and concrete behind the ground they are our new stands we obtained from Scarborough. Hopefully if we play you again in a year or so if our Destination SL campaign works then you'll be sitting in one of those.
Hope you come in big numbers and enjoy your visit, looking forward to seeing you all whatever day it's played
