Didn't realise it was international week. At least it won't be a monday then. Last year there were two games on the saturday, one sunday and one monday. Praying it's on the weekend.

Me too mate... Me too.

Still think the Sunday 14:30 suggested on the Wigan forum makes sense.

Not really followed this thread but why does that make sense? I.e. why not the saturday, why not the friday etc etc? Not that I want the friday! Surely this is the furthest distance between two teams in the quarters and they should think of the fans travelling (that would be a first!)

Well Wigan have a league match the Wednesday leading up so should rule Friday out and with Pompey going to Oldham on the saturday I'm not sure they'll want circa 10,000 fans from the south coast all traveling upto the same sort of area. Throw in the half marathon in Wigan on Sunday and you can see why ours is the most awkward!

Will be class if its the Sunday. We'd sell out no problem.
 
Agreed but early Saturday would be even better.

Any of those and I'm happy.

You reckon? Sunday would be later kick off so a bit more convenient/less early to leave? I really can't see them having both us and the Skates going up to the same kind of area on the same day though. Even if Wigan and Oldham are further apart than Southampton and Portsmouth!

Yeah it's more the potential flashpoints at Waterloo/Euston and Manchester after the games if people head there to drink I believe.

Can go by train via Wolverhampton instead of London though.

N I'd prefer Saturday so if I stay over can drink the day of the game.
 
For **** sake...

"The date and kick-off time of the two remaining quarter finals will be announced after next week’s fifth round replays."

Absolutely ****ing piss taking ****s <grr>

So we'll effectively have just over two weeks to conduct sales and also book travel/accommodation <doh>

What a ****ing farce that is, **** the supporters who actually attend the matches eh?

It's alright though cos at least Wigan is just around the corner... ****s.

I've emailed them saying I'm very annoyed <laugh> and that they don't seem to be taking into account that many people won't be able to book work off at such short notice if it's a weekday.

Was it a ranty email? Bet you don't get a response.

They really don't give a **** about the supporters attending the matches do they? Utter tossers.

**** this I'm going to bed.
