I got a google email that seemed to suggest we would be away at Hull FC for the first fixture. The original webpage had been changed when I returned to it to have the official press release that is on all the sites now.
I have an uncle who works for the RFL and he told me that theres a 50% chance Wigan will play away first game of the season against one of the following:
Don't think Catalan will be happy with having us at home on Easter Monday.
must be one of the best set of away fans they get and with the cost of flights, plus Stains on good friday, how many will be able to go?
That is of course if we play Catalan on Easter Monday
