Awkward

When the WCC has been and gone us, Saints and Wire will be left with catch up games. 2014 we had to play v Widnes mid week then Wakey the following Sunday. We usually win at Wakey but lost after holding and 6-18 lead at one point.
That was 3 games in 8 days.

Will all three clubs have to do this or will they be making specific arrangements seeing as the 3 game WCC seems to way we are going.

Thanks for this, I was wondering what was going to happen.

Have Wigan paid £175k to 'host' this game?

Whose bothered when we play, seems Saints fans are!they get all the Wiganers banned on their board and then all they talk about is Wigan,

The Saints mods have an allergy to the ban button tbh.

Rogues must have gone on holiday or something ...

Yep.

He's certainly gone very quiet on this issue hasn't he? Haha

Can see SKY conveniently televising a the Latics match the following Monday. I'm sure they did this when there was the potential for a clash in the play offs.

When tickets going on sale?

Shame it's not being done like the Magic Weekend, all 3 at either Goodison or Anfield, in finishing order, Wire first up then us and Saints as the main event.

They've got a game on Tuesday 24th as well so that isn't an option. Only way round it I can see so that we play at DW is if Latics kick off at lunch time on the Saturday with our game at 7/8pm to give time to turn the pitch round.

Just cant see this game being at home. Im sure when i was looking at season tickets there was a section saying Wigan may take a home game 'on the road' next season.

I don't know but I will guarantee that some of the fans at all three clubs will complain about
a) The price of the tickets
b) They can't have their seat that they normally sit in with their season ticket.

Are Wigan still definitely playing on the Sunday Rogues? Is Dave Whelan still dictating when Saints play?

Or is that all a load of tosh?

Already answered on your own board.

I'll try and get to all 3, should be good.

I'm definitely going to the Warrington and Saints games. Will probably go to the Wigan one too depending on where they are made to play it.

You can certainly guarantee (b) for Wigan's game.

I suspect that refers to what happens if we are in the top four after 23 games (thus meaning we would get a further four home games rather than three). They will likely take the extra home game on the road, whether your season would still count given that it's technically a home fixture is anyone's guess, I suspect not and you will get 14 games for it regardless of where we finish

Given that the additional fixtures are taking place during the football season, and wont actually be confirmed until August, is it not likely that more than 1 of these Super 8 fixtures may have to be moved to an alternate venue?

They probably where doing but i think this game will end up being classed as an 'on the road' game in a way to try and put a positive spin on the stadium not being available.

Doubt it, they generally manage with the play offs

Any update on this yet from Wigan?

In League Weekly Andy Gatcliffe (Warrington's Chief Executive) seems pretty certain that Warrington are playing on the Friday and Saints on the Sunday. He does actually refer to the three games being played in"proper rugby league stadiums", I wonder if this means the HJ Stadium, Langtree Park and Leigh Sports Village?

Now confirmed - Saturday 21st Feb at DW
