1986: 2-10 to Cas in the quarter final at CP.

Can history repeat it's self. That year we also went on to lift the cup. Here's to hoping.

Opinions are allowed. It's just a case of being sensible about what is posted on oppositions boards. What would the reaction be on the Cas board I'd 8 wembley wonders posted what he wrote on there?

Yes trolls saying stuff like Cas are the fittest side in SL that that your backs will scorch ours is obvious trolling as it's an opinion based on zero facts.

I get some fans think it's a plus point that these forums are a melting pot of all different fans but i'm certainly not one of them. I couldn't give a to$$ about anything another fan has to say unless it's praise for the greatest RL side in history.

Some of your fans are saying the same thing are they not?? On previous years you have every right to but this season you have been just like us apart from we have outscored you and beat you. So for some of your fans to say we will out class Cas and put 40 on them but our fans can't say anything back?? What right on this season alone do your fans have saying this??

This is a public forum and if you don't like the comments as you stated don't come on. Simple.

only an idiot would write of cas for this game. Im hoping for a cracking cc game with a good result for wigan

Me too but with the result going our way. Can't see it though. Looking forward to the trip over though. Bringing the little lad to his first ever away game so it's already a good day for me. Let's just hope it gets even better.

Just watch out for him shouting at the players telling themto 'walk nice'. Thats what my daughter did when she saw her first game on tv and they were running lol

His first game was Leeds at home a few weeks back. Left the ground singing "your not singing anymore" after we were stood near Leeds fans. Don't think he realised he was singing it at ourselves haha. Little bit to learn yet bless him. Sure he will understand more on his 25th birthday next month

haha. Nar he's only 5. Will he be free into the game by the way??

No idea mate, not a super fan lol. He sounds more educated (rl wise) than my wife tho

certainly a lot more than the scouse wendyball loving ppl I work with!!!

I'm staying in Manchester for the weekend (roses 20/20 day before). What's my best route from Manchester on the train?

As in directions from the station

You can catch a train to Wigan from Victoria or Piccadilly, when you arrive at Wigan Wallgate turn right at the exit and follow your nose, go past Wigan Pier over the canal bridge and it's on your right. Can't really miss it.

If you're feeling adventurous, turn right when you get to Seven Stars Garage (straight after the humpback bridge) and walk down the canal, it's a bit quicker.

Think we'll win saturday.
Reason being, out of the 2 teams we are the one coming into the game as the form team.
We are scoring tries for fun, the players confidence is on a massive high.
Scoring some wonderful team tries.

Not saying it will be easy far from it.
Wigan at home is one of the hardest games for anyone.
But we always seem to do well at the DW.

Cant wait for the game, gonna be a cracker.
Heard we are bringing 1500+ over the Pennines.
Its gonna be some atmosphere.

See you all Saturday
COYF

Since we last played:
Wigan W11 L2 (85%)
Castleford W9 L4 (69%)

Games within the top 5 since we last played:
Wigan W3 L1 (75%)
Castleford W1 L2 (33%)

Who is the form team again?

I'm talking about the form team going into this game, not from years back.
I know you cant bring yourself to say it

but we are the form team out of the 2 clubs 2014.

Like I have said, wigan away is one of the hardest places to go and get a win.
I really believe Saturday we will get that win, just my opinion .
Hope its a cracker.

Form has nothing to go on when it comes to knock out footy. Anyone can beat anyone so looking at form will get you nowhere.

It's all about who wants it most and home advantage.

Under 16s are a fiver in the north (away) stand.

I thought that the previous post had just explained that since we last met you have lost twice as many games as us - that we've won 2 more games than you, and that we've beaten better quality opponents (Leeds and Saints). Can you explain your reasoning behind your statement - or is it just a belief based on a feeling rather than evidence?

Poppy, Grimmy is talking about this SEASON.

I believe we have what it takes to win, but I'm far from confident. What we all know, is it's 2 high quality sides that play the game in a good way and it'll be a great crowd. A fantastic advert for the sport, and wouldn't have looked out of place at Wembley itself.

May the best team win.

Agree with all that apart from the great crowd bit! Bought my ticket earlier online and the sales look slower then slow.

I'd be surprised if it breaks 8k.

Do you work in PR by any chance?!!!

People don't buy in to the CC until the final, and other than giving tickets away for nowt I don't really know what more the club can do. The double header ticket for non ST holders is excellent value and £13 for the South or £15 in the East/West for ST holders is very reasonable.

Cup QFs, SFs and PO games should be among the biggest games of the season, but sadly they have some of the poorest attendances.
