What a huge game that is.

I was praying for Leigh away. As soon as I realised we had saints I wanted them away from home.

We need to start winning big games at home. Lets hope a huge crowd turn out for this unmissable tie.

Could T!tty Campbell how sounded less interested?

I'm going to miss this if it's any time other than the Friday

What dates could it be on?

I'm happy with the home tie tbh. We may have a great away record but the amount of away ties we've had in the last ten years has been unbelievable.

Tough game for sure but one to really look forward to. I'd guess the crowd may nor be the best mind.

It'll be the Saturday afternoon game on the BBC I'd imagine, sadly.

Dont Latics play Sunday so no game day before especially if its a must win for Latics

Early whispes from the DW say it'll be Friday night.

Think BBC will want it . But will they let us play on the Saturday ?

Your right I think, Latics v Wolves on Sunday the 13th, if the 24 hour rule is enforced, then that probably leaves Friday night as the only option.

It should be Friday night and then there's no issue at all - but the comment made on radio after the draw was that BBC would 'almost certainly' pick it to show, and their slots are on Saturday and Sunday. That was opinion in the studio rather than anything official, obviously, but if BBC have first refusal then you'd expect them to choose tie of the round.

Potential problems ahead with this, or panicking too soon?

if we can't play at home then let's hope we that we choose the Halliwell as it's a better stadium than the screwfix...or even help the Bulls out and take it to Odsal with a proviso that they get some of the revenue and not their landlords the RFL

Will be a test of Mr. Whelan's 'Wigan fan' credentials. Can't think of a single reason why they couldn't play both fixtures the same weekend. Any staff worth their salt can turn the stadium around in 24 hours, especially as there doesn't seem to be an issue with the pitch this year.
