We will have on the north side of 2000 fans there. Surely your statement of 8k is a little low. You will have more than 6k won't you?? If not it's going to look a poor crowd.

5 and unders are not free no?? Don't mind paying a fiver but if he's free then there's no point paying.

It definitely won't break 10k, not chance. We'll be lucky to break 8k looking at the Etickets on the website. Bearly anything sold.

Up to today Cas have sold 1547 tickets.

Does anyone else feel that putting all those returning players back in for this game could undo us? Maybe 4 or 5 to play their first game in weeks (even months) plus a couple others with precious little game time recently. Lockers was so far off the pace last week and I can see the other returning players being in a similar position. Someone mentioned being the fitter team and, under normal circumstances, you could certainly make that argument but, if anything, I can see our team tiring at the back end of this game. Hope I'm wrong, of course...

Can you pay on the gate?? Got my ticket but not got little uns incase he doesn't want to come at last minute.

Yes. You can pay on the gate. In fact you'll probably have your own gate.

The club has just issued a reminder to season ticket holders to get tickets, obviously because none have bothered.

In fact if you're going to be late just give the club a ring and they'll put the kick off back for you.

Welcome to the most famous club in Rugby League - where no bugger could be d turning up to watch their own team!!!!

We are in a mood today aren't we...

Looking forward to this, should be a cracker....

I think Wigan will win by 20 points. Wigan always turn it on in big games and get up for it.

Think we are only going to win one of the cas games, hopefully the one that matters...

Wane has accused Cas of being disrespectful on the SSN app. He mentions comments they made when the draw was made but there aren't any direct quotes to them.

I can't really recall anything. He does like to use this sort of thing to get his side focussed though.

I think wane is referring to whoever runs the castleford tigers twitter app

What was said?

It might be that old boy that does the commentary! Ha ha.

Wasn't anybody linked to the playing squad that's for sure.

For an ex prop forward he gets a little over sensitive sometimes, can't imagine how he'd get on if he got to be coach of the National team and the Aussie press got stuck into him



See you Saturday!

It's a shame really that sean wane sees fit to adopt the Alex ferguson philosophy, pity he can't conduct himself as well as the Wigan and Cas fans !
For me it's a mark of respect that he's genuinely concerned about the possibility of losing to Cas and he's trying to stoke up the fire in his own team and at the same time try to rattle ours
In short - mind games.
Anyway I'm really looking forward to it, hope its a belting game and the best team wins on the day.

What I think hes referring to is a tweet from the official Cas twitter account to the Wigan one which said "Make sure you bring your 'A' game", Wigan replied with "Wel do our talking on the pitch". Cas then replied saying "Wel do our singing at the end".

Abit of banter between the marketing/commercial bodies of both clubs and it does seem to be taken out of context from your coach.

FWIW I think the mood that has been coming out of Cas all year is about not being over confident as we could get burnt.

Got my tickets for Sat, just hope its a high quality game. Fingers crossed for a Cas win.

There's nothing wrong with having confidence in your own team my score prediction is based on the fact Wigan never fail to turn up for a big game. A lot of Cas fans are spouting about them being the form team, this is true but my opinion that we will run away with this game is also based on the fact that St Helens were the form team up until April when they faced Wigan. We ran them into the ground and we have some of our regular star names back in the frame for this game so i stand by my judgement and if im wrong im big enough to eat my humble pie but i wont be rushing out to buy any ingredients that for sure

Lol what the hell is that fat ape Wane on about??

Can I mention the scoreline of the Regal Trophy Final 1994?



I for one have you as favourites for Saturday, and as for some of our fans being over confident...well please forgive us as just over a year ago we were watching a Ian Millward coached team...can't really blame some for getting giddy!

In the dug out after the Cas win this year he was using all types of industrial language, mainly about us being a little town and a little team.
This bloke really does have a genuine dislike to Cas or just smaller teams. It's not something I'm used to hearing from a Wigan coach they Usually have a bit of class . Bit of a arragant thug for me.

Yes I had heard about this, yet we haven't reported "disrespect" in the press.

Beginning to think this is a P.R ploy to bump up the ticket sales.

That's strange. Wane was sat just behind Bilko who does the Wish FM commentary in the stand, he wasn't in the dugout.
