| I got tickets through the club yesterday. The game is advertised as taking place on Sunday 8th March at 3.30pm. I happened to notice a change on the BBC site by accident. After a bit of searching, I noticed that the Cas site announced on Tuesday a change to Friday 6th at 8.00pm. It's to avoid a four day turnaround with their next fixture, which they've known about for weeks.
The Friday suits me fine but I'm guessing a lot of fans won't be able to get over on a Friday evening after work.
No mention when they sold me the tickets. No announcement on the website.
Just another little gripe to add. The tickets for tomorrow have the kick off at 7.45 but every media outlet has it at 8.00pm.

| The Cas game was changed this week but hasn't really been announced for everybody to know which is a shame.
Re: tomorrow, I understand sky moved it last week to 8pm ko from the original 7.45pm but not sure the reasoning. apart from because they are sky

| Wigan haven't actually agreed with it yet purely because they dont wan't the game to be moved. Cas, for some reason, decided to announce that the match has changed dates. The date of the match remains unclear. I'd expect it to move to the friday though. Silly from Castleford in my opinion.
Re Brisbane game kick off time - RFL decided to change it last week after 13,000 tickets have been sold and distributed with 7:45pm kick off time on - typical i know. For sky coverage i presume.

I really don't see how a game kicking off 15 minutes later than orginally planned has any impact anyway. I've seen a few people getting their knickers in a twist over that but I don't see what the big deal is.
The Cas game situation is farcical, however. The game is 2 weeks away, it's either been moved or it hasn't. People need to buy tickets and make travel arrangements, the decision needs to be made and the fans made aware ASAP.

| Cas game was moved due to them playing the following Thursday in order to give them more recovery time. Blame Sky!

| Salford away Monday 6th April
Catalans home Sunday 12th April
Wire home Thursday 16th April (4 day turn around)
Will the Catalans game be moved to the Saturday to create 2 x 5 day turn arounds..?? Athletic are away to Fulham on Friday 10th

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Wire are also away on Sunday 12th, so at least it's even, but they should both be changed to Saturday IMO.

| Lenegan has started doing a weekly "Chairman's Chatter" thing on Wigan TV. On the latest one from yesterday he was asked about the Cas fixture and reckons it was changed by the RFL without Wigan agreeing to it. Wigan haven't announced anything as yet because they are appealing the move to the Friday and want it playing on the Saturday instead. He reckons they'll find out the decision "within 48 hours" so guessing it'll be confirmed either way tomorrow.

If Wigan have not agreed with this , why has it been changed on the website . Its not like Wigan to change anything quickly on there .
