Cheers mate. Had a look on the site, didn't have the sky logo next to it. Why do Wigan seem to get all Friday night games on Sky? im not complaining because they are playing us, but they always seem to be on a Friday night.

I think Wigan have elected to play their home games on a Friday

yes it is on sky 8pm

Correct.

How come? i didnt know you could do that, i prefer night games, better atmosphere IMO.

They've done it for a couple of seasons now.

stains do it as well, their decision.

Probably told to by their Landlords!

Be interesting to see what happens again if they get a home tie in the play offs on the same weekend as the Latics have a home game!

Happened before and it got re-arranged IIRC.

It is up to clubs which day they play there home games on, but they know that if the game is selected as a SKY game then it could be moved to a different day than normal.

Saints, Wigan, Leeds and Hull all play the majority of home games on a Friday. The bonus is that it means if the game is selected for SKY there is less chance of it being moved (unless they want it on the Saturday of course)

Over 10 seasons.

Sky switched so many games to Friday that Wigan decide to play all their games then. It makes sense from a promotional and match sponsorship perspective as they know the game is going to be played on a Friday.

The only change was Celtic this season which was moved to Sunday and Wigan organised a big amateur tournament for juniors on the morning of the game. This was done before the season kicked off so had no effect on the sponsorship packages.

This is probably going to be one of the atmospheric matches of the season. A party atmosphere. WEMBRLEE !

The party will probably be short lived especially if our boys aren't focused properly.
