I know this is really off topic but this forum is the only forum I know of where its all (mostly) Wigan discussion.

Has anyone heard of any pubs staying open for this fight?

I expected to see a sign outside the Cherry Gardens or somewhere around there when I have been driving in and out of Wigan.

Last time there was a PPV fight (cleverly v bellew) the only pub we could find in wigan with it on was last orders and I mean the only pub. Literally walked into every pub in the centre and up and down wigan lane before settling for that last resort. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though to be fair. What time will they be fighting though? Don't think the pubs on Wigan Lane have the licence to stay open so late. Only places I can think of that may still be open when they fight and that have a tv would be last orders or Berkley.

I imagine the fight will only be on at 3am. Guess that rules most pubs out.

Shame the tudor is no more, no doubt they would have had a lock in.

It won't be on until 4am at the earliest, but for 60k you could get a ticket and watch it live, get on groupon lad

FOR £60K I would want to be sitting in the ring

Did anyone see the Footy Show last night? Ben Ross broke his arm during an arm wrestling segment with Wendell Sailor. Grim viewing, you can actually hear the break.

Unless anyone's missed it (I deleted the eMail before doing a double-take), the RFL are asking people about Thursday night matches. Opportunity to vent a spleen & tell 'em where to stick Thursday games [urlhttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SLThursdaynight[/url.

Yeh I did it the other day, I'm not really sure what it sets out to acheive; it doesn't really give you the opportunity to criticise Thursday games - just whether you attend them and what could be done to improve them. Definitely sounds like they're here to stay anyway.

I personally don't mind Thursday games too much. I can still get to home games and local away games but not ones that involve a trip over the Pennines, but that's the same for me on a Friday. My main gripe with them now is when the Super8's stage starts the top 8 will be Thurs and Fri with the Middle 8 game on Sat. Middle on Thurs with Top on Fri and Sat would have been better IMO.

Looking for somewhere to eat in town centre before the game tomorrow night, any suggestions that are not Indian?
