Anyone know if it's on the Red Button????

Do St. Helens occasionally,which is close.
Should take 2 hours,will take 3 1/2 . Take the toll going.
But with roads the way they are, your guess is as good as mine.

Yes, I believe so. Sky are advertising it as an alternative game to the main one showing.

 

[Evo1883]

Where are you? Coventry?

Yes , tile hill

My mate drove to Preston the other week in 2 and a bit and it's further than Wigan

It's a live match on Sky Sports Arena.

Really, wow. Must have an amazing mode of transport.

 

[fatso]

Remember going to Wigan for an f a cup replay no idea when we left

About 4-45 I'd imagine.

Does that mean HD and replays?

Or filmed on a potato and no replays like red button?

 

[Ashdown]

It’s probably the potatoe

Wigan is generally a 2 hour drive, do it all the time. Traffic may snooker you but that would normally only push you out to 2.5 hours

The Millwall game at the CBS was on Sky Sports Arena. Weird camera angle, very close, but you do get replays, commentary etc. Coverage starts at 7.40 so no build up, but better than the red button

This worries me... I have tickets and leaving Stratford at 3.30... Hoping that will be fine.

 

[edgy]

Yeah should be the full shebang.

 

[edgy]

Chap on Facebook saying Wigan ticket office have confirmed tickets on sale on the gate tonight. Maybe worth a call yourself first though.

 

[Evo1883]

Just phoned Wigan, pay at ticket office cash only windows 1-3

 

[Johhny Blue]

OK so I was hoping for a couple serious answers as I'm probably leaving work about 4

Don't know wether to purchase tickets

Do you work at the airport?

Plenty of time mate

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

8.

What we saying is the latest time we can leave coventry to get there ?

8.24 am

 

[withnail]

I left late last Thursday, just clearing Walsall now.

 

[Hobo]

Possibly put Sheaf in for Eccles and Maguire for Howley.
I think we need the extra experience and the fresh legs for 2 tough away games.

I'm just hoping Vik and Hamer dont pick up injuries with the heavy workload.

Neither Sheaf or Panzo will start. But you might be right about McGuire, it will depend on how much fuel Robins thinks he has in his legs whether he starts or comes off the bench for 30 mins.

I thought he looked useful v Hull.

And me he did slip over a bit

I know he didn't play much at Preston but he must surely have 60 mins in his legs by now, he can't be that unfit.

Give him 60 mins and then bring on Howley/JWE/change formation.

1500 a brilliant effort for a Tuesday

 

[Mcbean]

Looked at the Latics site - one post on tonight’s game ! 152 about Gary Linaker wtf

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Wrap up warm everyone. Large hailstones in North Manchester this morning. Expected to be around -1 at 2100 in Wigan.
I'm on my way, I know Wigan well and looking forward to it despite cold.

 

[Happy_Martian]

Those going, be safe and enjoy yourselves.

But don't blame me if the game becomes dull and uneventful. I've only put a few bets on Cov scoring and/or winning Lukaku, Mahrez and Vik all scoring in 90 mins seemed an obvious choice for a combined bet at 25/1

Their Not606 site (or wherever its hosted) doesn't get much traffic at all. From what I read, it seems most of their fans are on Twits, Insta or that other social media site.

We're leaving Warwick about 3.30. Should give us plenty of time to get there as the M6 is obviously the big issue. We're parking in the Asda, WN5. Only a fiver.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

I'm calling in on family in Wigan before walking to the ground, just found out we're having hotpot for tea which I believe makes you impervious to cold.

Really not nice weather. On train to Wigan Wallgate. Some snow about which has settled in places.
These conditions will make it harder for Sky Blues.

Not with mighty fads and McNally at the back

I would definitely take a draw. First goal maybe be vital to either side

 

[itsabuzzard]

Depends. If you have a helicopter, probably about half past 6.

Twenty past eight, if the Tardis is warmed up.
