Bang out of order . Why Wigan announced Friday when they must have known there was possible problems with the Latics playing on the Saturday.

Have trains / hotels booked and a flight to Belfast from Manchester booked on the Saturday .

Latics are at home on the Saturday ??????????
  

Wigan incompetent or don't give a shoite

2002 and EW is 

Probably a Sky decision to be fair but equally it means I now can’t get to what will likely be our last game as I’m working nights.

Would've been on nights Friday but can go now, probably messed a lot of peoples plans up but worked out well for me

Not impressed at all will have to juggle work but hopeful I can go

It’ll be the classic playoff game, 5k home fans 2/3k away fans making it feel very awkward.

Biggest game of the year always have the smallest crowds is such a shame.

Being a Thursday won’t help

You need your own stadium lads and lasses.

Doesn’t solve anything. On the contrary, it makes us financially worse off at a time where we need finances and we’ve lost (I can’t remember the exact figure) £4m(??). There’s other issues as well but let’s keep it simple.

I don’t know why we ever went for Thursday games. Always seem to be lower attendances and less interest

Don’t think we have a choice with Sky calling the tune. I’d love to go back to the days of a Friday game, a Saturday evening game and others on a Sunday. I went to Hull on Saturday and it’s great being able to have a beer and watch a game knowing you’re off the following day (if you’re a Monday-Friday worker like myself). The Thursday games just feel like an effort for everyone.

How would that impact sky telling us when to play?

Reading the press release it does say “after discussions between SL and the DW stadium”they don’t mention Sky at all,seems the new owners are flexing their muscles perhaps ?
