Looks like 3 of us posted at the same time, you would be lieing if you said you didn't want Leigh, and it's obviously going to be a very tough game but we do have a bit of a history of turning them over in big games at the DW. Chance to get one back from Good Friday before going into Magic Weekend.

Catalans away was the one to avoid though.

We'll probably get the Friday night spot on BBC seeing as W. Athletic are at home on the Sunday.

I'm not sure the BBC would do a Friday night game to be honest. It's the tie they will want to put on as the showcase one (as much as they do showcase) so Saturday or Sunday will be their slot. That does leave a big issue with Latic playing on the Sunday so either the BBC give it up to Sky or Wigan move the venue (Wire?). It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

As long as it is not Sunday I'm happy as I go on my jollies on the Sunday getting back for the Leeds game the following Monday.

It will be an utter shame if this game can't be watched on free to view television.

Is there actually a Premier League rule about leaving the pitch unused 24 hours before a game? Or is it down to logistics in getting the stadium prepared?

Not sure what the rules are but if it is a shared stadium then both teams should be allowed the rights to stage their games. i.e. Wigan - Saints on Saturday and Wigan A. - Wolves Sunday.
