it's on our fixture list on this web site as on tv on friday,if it's not i am in deep s$%T with the wife,have cancelled a weekend away becuase we were on tv friday night she will not be pleased.may be hull wanted the kick off at 7.30 anyway knowing not as many wigan fans could finish work early to get there.

That doesn't make any sense; they'll be losing a lot of money through the turnstiles.

then if it's not on tv what is the reason for still having the kick off at 7.30 ? that doesn't make sense, and on a friday at that it was bad enough fighting the m62 when we play leeds on a friday with an 8.00 kick off never mind hull with a 7.30 start.

Im safe, I have my ticket... but wont be the same without Danielle. she finishes at half 5 so... probably wouldn't make it anyway if it was 8pm.

have wondered why if it's just a question of money why clubs don't (where possible )swap long distance away games to a weekend to get as many people through the gates as possible.

we should have sundays also. Would increase the ceowd also. Wigan isnt juts supported by people in wigan a lot of people have distnaces and Friday evening isnt ideal

Hull do seem to have a weird combination of "home" kick-off times. Varying from 3.15 on Sundays to a few 7.30's on fixtures on Friday. :conf:

Hull city Football play on the Sat. That may have something to do with it.

Grounds men may have asked for an extra half an hour to turn things around.

I don't think the clubs and sky think about the fans when it comes to planning fixture. What happended to us play wire on easter monday. Thats gone out of the window now.

This is a one off i think the rest of our away games in yorkshire are on a sat or Sun.
