With each club having to put up £175k to stage the game neither Saints or Warrington will move their fixtures (Friday being a good corporate sell for Warrington and Sunday being the climax to the weekend's fixtures for Saints as the real WCC).

Wigan will have to rely upon the goodwill of the football club to have the Dave Whelan available for the Saturday match otherwise Widnes and Leigh are under consideration as alternatives.

I hope Rogues is reading this after posting

Awkward

When the WCC has been and gone us, Saints and Wire will be left with catch up games. 2014 we had to play v Widnes mid week then Wakey the following Sunday. We usually win at Wakey but lost after holding and 6-18 lead at one point.
That was 3 games in 8 days.

Will all three clubs have to do this or will they be making specific arrangements seeing as the 3 game WCC seems to way we are going.

Thanks for this, I was wondering what was going to happen.

Have Wigan paid £175k to 'host' this game?

Whose bothered when we play, seems Saints fans are!they get all the Wiganers banned on their board and then all they talk about is Wigan,

The Saints mods have an allergy to the ban button tbh.

Rogues must have gone on holiday or something ...

Yep.

He's certainly gone very quiet on this issue hasn't he? Haha

Can see SKY conveniently televising a the Latics match the following Monday. I'm sure they did this when there was the potential for a clash in the play offs.

When tickets going on sale?

Shame it's not being done like the Magic Weekend, all 3 at either Goodison or Anfield, in finishing order, Wire first up then us and Saints as the main event.

They've got a game on Tuesday 24th as well so that isn't an option. Only way round it I can see so that we play at DW is if Latics kick off at lunch time on the Saturday with our game at 7/8pm to give time to turn the pitch round.

Just cant see this game being at home. Im sure when i was looking at season tickets there was a section saying Wigan may take a home game 'on the road' next season.
