Can't disagree with too much of that, though you may have exaggerated the odds a bit

For once I found myself in total agreement with you.

Having said that, I wouldn't have taken a punt on Fev (or on Widnes getting within a few points of Saints) in the last round. Don't know what the odds were there but both matches turned out very predictable...not!

Possibly, though you'll be surprised how a series of odds around 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 all add up when multiplied together.

Handicaps will be huge.

Wire -20 Bradford +20
Catalan -50 Sheffield +50
Salford +16 Leeds -16
Leigh +8 Halifax -8
Oldham +58 St Helens -58
Featherstone +32 Wigan -32
Huddersfield -54 Swinton +54
Batley +28 London -28

Or something like that.

Been to Salford's new ground - was massively unimpressed, over priced and uninspired choice of refreshments and it took an hour to get out of the car park.

I seriously doubt I'll be going back... ever.

To get all tvoc on you, excluding finals Leeds have drawn SL opposition 12 out of the last 13 occasions.

Agree, and it's totally characterless, and the 'matchday experience' was atrocious...but seeing Sinny crack that record just about made it worthwhile.

Correction, forget to include the Salford draw, that makes its 13 out of 14. Doubt many if any other Super League team can match that over the last few seasons.

meh, a really dull set of fixtures. I'd expect us to win but we could be really struggling considering the large amount of international call ups coupled with the fact we will play a game more than everyone else with the WCC.

no not friday night joke of a place to get to by public trasport one hour on train one hour on the bus

Last away game of the season for me for the Football so I'm hoping and praying it's not on the Saturday.

Sunday would do fine, might even let the Girlfriend do some shopping in Trafford Centre before hand.

Listening to the draw from the abandoned Broadcasting Centre in Leeds I half expected someone to try to fix the draw only to be thwarted by some pesky kids and a massive dog

Our game is Sunday 29th April at 3pm

Hopefully they make ticket prices resonable.

Wont be going as I don't wish to spend an hour sat in my car waiting for all the locals to walk home as they can't be trusted to keep to the pavement without getting run over.

£17 in, I'll try the seats as the standing area is crap

Was hoping for a home draw so I could finally get to a game at Headingley but clearly not happening for me. One of the rare weekends I'll be in Leeds so hoping to get to the game but was planning on driving. Is it really that bad getting parked and getting out?

We pre-paid for a parking ticket and got there about 6.00pm and were parked at the front of the stadium which was fine.
Also some drove just up the road and parked at an aerodome for a fiver and got away ok aswell.

Getting parked isn't a problem - you don't have to pre-pay as their website suggests and can just rock up, give the bloke in the hi-viz a £5 and you can park right outside the stadium.

The problem is getting away from the ground, they let the pedestrians go first, then the coaches then finally they empty the car parks. This means that you could be sat in your car, getting really frustrated for up to an hour.

Not if you are parked right at the front of the ground FB.

We got shepherded onto a bit of waste land adjacent to the 'official' car park - it took forever to get out.

yep! took us less than 15 minutes to get out. Seems the closer you can get to the corporate and disabled spots directly behind the stand the quicker you'll get out.

Well I've bought my ticket now. I'll just get there in good time since I have no idea where I'm going, seems simple enough though. Hopefully not stuck for an hour trying to get out

Anybody else think £17 is a bit steep?
Especially when quite a few other clubs are charging £15 to get in for this round...

Not as steep as £20 to stand on a bit of crumbly old terracing with no cover, which is what Leeds were charging last week.
