Well im hoping for widnes because my close mate plays for Widnes (Dave Houghton) Exciting upcoming forward.

When i phoned him wen the draw had taken place, his words were "my ar*e is twitching already!!"

He's a big Wigan fan and has been playing reguarly now for the past season. So i will be cheering him on and wigan of course. Looking forward to it now!!!

Lets not forget im in correct when we played them the other year in the cup which was on the box the attendance wasnt much/if any higher than the friendly we played there couple of months before im sure bilko will come up with the stats

Don't fancy a rematch of last year then Cam?

Not really and I'm sure you'd rather we were knocked out before you drew us?

Being honest I'd be quite happy to go through the whole comp playing only National League sides. A Wigan Vs Batley final sounds great to me.

Got to beat good teams if your going to win it.

in the CC you can play poop and still reach the final, or play great and get knocked out. Its all about the luck of the draw IMO

2/8 teams in the quarter finals will be NL1 teams for example, so thoretically we can reach the semis by only playing ameteur teams. Im sure widnes will go all out against us and shouldnt be taken lightly, but i know id rather be playing widnes than hudds.

All joking aside it is possible that with the right draw we could progress to the semi finals or even final doing just that. 2 (at least) of the last 8 will be from outside SL, if we draw one of them and the other pulls off a shock win in round 6 we could have Coop league teams all the way to Wembley.

Then again we could also go into round 5 half cooked and get embarrassed.

Im happy with the draw and looking forward to you visiting the stobart stadium really hope it isn;t on the tv as want a good crowd and a great atmosphere.

You are correct, the crowd was a little over 6k and would be probably be pretty similar this time round. Widnes are in no condition to give Wigan any semblance of a game right now (to be honest they may well struggle to beat the French anyway). I'm afraid people claiming "almost full house" and "competitive game" that should be on TV are well wide of the mark.

Crusaders v Catalans Dragons or Harlequins v St Helens
Huddersfield v Warrington

Would imagine they'll be the two television games.
