So to start the new summer season the first game will be on a Thursday night in January.
I'm been waiting to decide on next years season ticket, but this has made up my mind.
What's an AWAY game at Saints in January got to do with your Wigan season ticket decision?

Because I got my fixtures muddled up in anger at a Thursday night game.
I've recently started a college course and this just reminded me of Thursday night games that I will miss.

I don't want to see winter rugby. I thought we were supposed to be leaving that behind for good. I know some here disagree, but for me, rugby league is a fast and skilful sport, and when probably the best two teams in the comp come up against each other, I want them to play at a time of year giving the best chance of good conditions.

. Yes that was Widnes with Offiah. Mark Preston showed Martin the outside,twice.Oh Dear! Mark was quick but not quite that quick.I don’t think Monie picked him again,end of Wigan career.

Isle ov man was my favourite venue for those games..... atmosphere was electric...... i remember once versus widnes..... apparently a load ov widnes fans hadnt made the game due to missing ferries( or something along them lines)....nearly allthe crowd were cherry n white.......after the match we went too the presentation even though widnes had won..... all the wiganfans booed thenstarted chanting wigan really loud...... iwas only young and proud as punch...... the look on the widnes players faces was something ill never forget..... great memories

Saints away first, then Leeds home, then the WCC.
Great start to the season, should be three BIG crowds.

Hopefully with the start of the new season the Thursday night will bring the crowds back after a winter without our fantastic game ????
Would still prefer it to have been on a Friday though ????

Aaarrggg. Just noticed that the WCC will be played on the Sunday night of half term week. The biggest ski week of the year and I'm away. Looks like I'll have to find a pub with Sky in Andorra.
