Wigan away : Mon Feb 22, 2016 2:06 pm  

Anyone else really looking forward to this fixture for a change? Typically it's been one I dread (along with Leeds away) purely because I don't think we've ever beaten them at the JJB/DW since Super League began. Infact, I would interested to know when the last time we beat Wigan away was?

This time around though, we're going into the game full of confidence and on the back of two good wins. I think we managed to get through yesterday without any injury concerns, whereas Wigan seem to be racking up the casualty list following their defeat to Brisbane. I believe Sam Tomkins, Josh Charnley, Matty Smith, Micky McIllorum, Willie Isa and Dom Crosby will all be missing on Thursday.

Hopefully we'll take a decent following with us, I know the fixture change will affect this to some degree but if the chance to see us finally turn Wigan over on their on turf (and go top of the league) isn't a big enough incentive to travel the short distance then I don't know what is.

I think it's probably our best chance at getting a victory over Wigan at the Pie Dome given our form and their injuries, but I'm not holding my breath!

Big car park next to the ground £5, plenty of other places but it's a risk whether you get a ticket.

It was about the 16th August 1997 at Central Park.

Agree with JGR, feel exactly the same and looking forward to the game.

RE Parking, i was there sat night, if u have sat nav put in Stadium way, it should take u to the parking area, do not park on the retail park you will get a ticket, i also think it is the same at ASDA car park.

If not got sat nav, go past asda , fire station and all the retail park on your right, over the rounabout, and turn right at the traffic lites, park in the first car park you come too, about 150 yds on the right.

Was really looking forward to see this. I live in Gran Canaria and get to see one game every three months or so. This was my choice for this three month period.Don't get there till Friday, so having to miss it. Anyone who can get there, do so. I've never seen us win at Wigan, but think we might do this time. Here's hoping.
