They let Wath Brow play at home against Newcastle and the dugouts there are on opposite sides of the pitch so can't see that as being the reason. However, there is a canal down one side preventing kicks to touch being taken on that side and there is also limited space for spectators down that side. There is also (or wasn't last time I was there) no crowd barrier behid the posts at the town end of the ground.

The Army play Challenge Cup games a ground where it is generally agreed you don't kick to touch on one side as the ball disappears into a military secure area.

It certainly looks like Twist Lane hasn't been approved yet as the match is listed as Saturday 21st at 14.00 but no venue is listed. Leigh Miners Rangers were at home in the last round so I guess it may come down to how many people they expect to show up as to where it plays.

Just to flag up that the date still seems to be in doubt whatever the Challenge Cup site says. An Oxford official has told Mark Saturday is not confirmed.

Apparrently ORLFC have objected to playing the game at Twist Lane and the RFL have upheld their objections. Game will now be played at LSV Stadium on Saturday.

what was the final score ?
