This looks like being a great game - sadly it will likely be played out in front of a poor crowd on national TV. Surely the club could have put on some sort of ticket promotion for the game similar to what Huddersfield did against Leeds last year in the cup (I think they let everyone in for around a fiver).

Just seems a shame to me that with all the positivity at the moment, the club will come across in a bad light on the BBC next week when the match is played in front of a 1/4 full stadium.

Cas might have problems with Carney being involved in a fight yesterday.
He and the Widnes player, Flynn, were binned.
Whether the disciplinary take it further I don't know but Carney has a poor record.

I'm looking forward to it. We will hopefully have a couple of bodies back and they are not showing any signs of dropping off the pace. Both teams are in good form.

I agree it is a game asking to be promoted. Tie of the round by some distance. As it stands there will probably be 10 to 12k

Tickets are dirt cheap. Can't see what more they can do bar offering free admission to everyone in Wigan MBC area.

Tickets are only about £13 plus an offer on for the double header. What more can the club do? Less than £15 to see two of the in form teams play in a knock out competition is an absolute bargain. Some people just seem to moan for the sake of moaning...

Make no mistake, I'm not moaning - I think the prices are fair. I'm looking at the reality of the situation - it will be a four figure crowd and the club won't come across well on national TV. Therefore I just wondered for the sake of publicity whether we should have followed Huddersfield's lead from last year.

Yep, Grade C is 2-3 games and he's not eligible for EGP.

He's a good player, so they will miss him.
If we put our big game heads on, and have Lockers, we will be fine.

Make it a 8pm kick off, I'm on shift that day

How bitter are cas fans? Look at their board just because carney has been charged. It's all wigans fault

2 game ban. I think that's fair.

the only incentive i can think of is season ticker holders get 1 voucher for a cup game at half price. might get a few more in ?
