When we take to the field next week it will be almost 10 years to the day since we beat Wigan in the play offs at the JJB/Robin Park/DW stadium or whatever they call it these days.

I think a few Wiganers thought we'd be an easy touch that night too.

Get them grafting their knackers off in Training Terrence and let's have some fun like we did in 99.

Lets hope you bring as many as you did in 99. You brought 4000 fans that night and were very loud.

I will be surprised if you bring 1000 this Sunday.

Cas must be a 14 point start?

I of course want Cas to win but I can't help feeling that we've cashed our chips in a bit and the performance on Sunday owed a lot to the fact that we've achieved our major season objective.

So, preditions wise - dissapointing crowd (of which I will be one) and if Cas keep it to a single figure deficit, I think we can win. If Wigan settle and get 10+ in front, they could win by 20.

So as always for me - us by a few or them by plenty!

Agree with that.

Celtic game was a strange business and I'm really hoping the lads have a couple of performances left in and are not on the countdown to mad Monday.

Wigan's result was equally woeful though, so it'll be interesting to see how both teams react.

i think the Celtic game saw the realism of "Just turning up and winning"

Not much effort but got the win.

Im sure the lads will be well up for sunday. Like i said before lets get over t'hills in plenty of numbers and cheers the lads home, Win OR Lose!

Wigan's result was because the players knew they had a home game next week whatever the result. A dissappointing attitude but very common. Also I can't remember the last time we won at Hudds - it's a bit of a bogey ground. I just hope it doesn't upset our previous momentum too much.

Wigan by 16.

Similar scenario for Cas, we knew what ever happened we'd have a tough away game at Wigan or Wakey in the play offs.

I'm hoping it was a case of doing what we had to do and saving plenty in the tank for this week.

We'll see on Sunday if it's paid off if that was Matterson's intention.

Tickets : Tue Sep 15, 2009 3:49 pm  

Wife has just been for the tickets - queueing out of the shop and was waiting ages she said.

Good times...... and just like old times.

I was wondering this. It might end up being a last-minute decision depending on how much work I have to do or whether we can actually get there.

6 coaches filled already between Cas and the Boot Room pub. That's roughly 480 people already, and that's on first day.
