I couldnt but help notice posters advertising this match on 9 April when i was in the pubs in Ashton in makerfield last night saying miss it miss out saying 4 sell outs in 4 years and a figure like over 80000 cant be wrong cant remember the proper figure there trying to sell this out very good luck and hope we sell it out.

Don't think it will sell out on a Thursday Night. Might have done on Good Friday had Sky given us 1pm like Hull v Hull KR have. Should be around 22,000 though I'd expect.

Thought it had been moved due to Latics being at home Easter Week-end?

Well some say that. Some say its because we travel to France on the Monday so the extra day suits us (Catalans also played v Quins on the Thursday Night).

True.

I can't wait for the game tbh. I know Saints looked good the other night but i reckon we can give them a good game if we play to our best. The 2 new youngsters should really be up for their first derby game and that excitment will hopefully rub off on the others.

As for the crowd i'd be suprised if it's any less then 21-22k. It won't sell out as even some good friday games have taken until around kick off to sell out and i just can't see there being that big a walk up on the night.

Thursday night v Saints.

Get home and watch the recoding.

Up at 4 a.m.

Fly to Gerona at 7 a.m. Good Friday.

Into the Sports bar in Perpignan for the Hull v HKR. game.

Food.

Back to the Sports bar for Leeds v Bradford.

Saturday,
Wake up with a bad head.

Wasn't there only around 19k when we played them at home last season?

I'm already excited about this, and also I'm stupidly optimistic as well, we're going to hammer Saints. (Well ok at least keep to close!)
Got people coming from Cornwall, Cardiff and Blackpool haha
Champagne breakfast 10am!!!

Lambrini isnt champagne remember

Im fairly optimistic too, glad im not on the same flight as Rogues though...... Phew!!

Whenever we play with passion and determination against Saints we seem to give them a good game (eg last game of last season and the season before) but when we don't our heads go down quickly and its normally a Saints walkover

Hopefully the young lads will help with the enthusiasm and Noble will get them fired up like he normally does around play off time

To be honest, if Saints play anywhere near the level they did against Saints we'll get no where near them. They'll open us up down the middle of the pitch and their try line defence will be too strong.

Although the Saints Leeds game was a great match, it made dcepressing viewing to realise just how far behind them we are.

Saints were always gunna win that game

might not sell out, but im going and i prefer thursday night personally.
night out, few pints, then get good friday free to spend with family..

spoke to a mate in wigan friday night and he told me it could be close to a sell-out so dad's picking our tickets up on monday.
