If I'm allowed to veer off on a loosely related topic -
Talking of Sunday games reminded me of the bloke with "sandwich boards" saying "Prepare To Meet Thy Doom" and similar stuff. Was it because we played on the Sabbath, or just a general warning?
Does anybody know more about him?

I wonder if he sneaked into the ground after kick-off?

One of those being Magic weekend v Saints!

Only one Saturday game at home for us & that’s the WCC.


Bloody crazy again from the RFL 🤨🤨
Disagree, it's much easier for the majority of fans travelling away on Saturday rather than Friday night.
I certainly don't like driving on dark nights particularly with the bright l.e.d headlights coming in the opposite direction, and think of all of the overnight M62 lane closures.
My point was that we play all but one Saturday game at home? Why do we not have a couple more at home on a Saturday instead of them all being away games.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

You said home when you meant way there, Josie, I think, but yes, I agree. Saturday home games are fun, and a good win sets up a good Saturday night! :D

I haven’t got access to the Latics fixtures. However their season ends approximately in May and begins end of August. That would limit the amount of free Saturdays . Latics are probably more committed to Saturdays to comply with other football clubs.

Might the Saturday fixtures be linked to a new Channel 4 contract? I thought their coverage was superb.

In my above comment there is no sarcasm intended. I really wish we were still there.

Trust me, there was no sarcasm intended in my reply. My fondest memories of watching Wigan are from the Central Park era. It made winter bearable. I wish we were still there to. :)
