Oh my. Someone had hot balls.

Well that will be a bit of fun. We weren't going to go much further anyway so it'll be nice to rekindle the love.

It'll be like a cup final for them.

We'll have to give the terrace behind the sticks a spruce up

That’s nice for everyone. Weird how John Kear called it yesterday....

It will be a nice few quid anyway.

Happy with that. Would have preferred to have drawn Fax at home, got through then and then Leeds at home in the QF but one out of two is ok I suppose. They'll be wary of us with their performance so far this season.

Better get the WD40 out for the turnstiles!!

The Game Caller reckons the game will be Sunday, but Leeds v Castleford is Thursday after.

I stopped reading after the first 4 words

Titter

We are away in Toronto the week before so I can't see the club wanting to play the game any earlier than Sunday after flying home earlier that week. Assume the BBC will have it televised as well.

I'm just hoping the BBC will be kind enough to let me stream it from another country, since the organizers have been impolite enough to schedule the game whilst I'm away on my honeymoon

I stopped reading after the first three letters.

BBC have the first 2 picks.
Wire v wigan is a given.
Would they pick our game or Hull v Cas?

Cant see us wanting (or being allowed) to play thurs or friday given the travel back from toronto. So i cant see it being on sky.

It could end up not being on tv more due to logistics than anything else

I think Leeds are on Sky on the Thursday after so that rules out Sunday. I think we'll be on SKY in the Friday.

The BBC could put us on the Saturday and Wire/Wigan on the Sunday maybe.

Super draw. Should be worth a few quid.

Now let's make sure the turnstiles and bars are open.

Its the last day of the Premier League season on the sunday so i doubt the beeb with run the wire v wigan directly against that.

In all honesty as much as we are all buzzing, Isnt a game between hull and cas
(5th v 3rd) more than likely to be the 2nd bbc game?

It's a shame that game isn't at Headingley. Yes the Bulls would lose out on the bar and food takings, but most people seem to suggest that those taking are fairly low on grounds of poor quality. Probably would have been offset by the increased gate at Leeds considering the cup is a split gate.

Wow, what a draw! Did Dynamo advise the RFL?
Any, it's a great opportunity for the Bulls, so I am not complaining. Might have been better at Headingley in terms of money, but eh ho. What is the maximum crowd at Odsal currently? Anyone know?

I'm not sure. There's a novelty in playing at Odsal for Leeds fans who've forgotten how bad it is. Looking at their board and Facebook a lot seem to be intending to come.

We need every penny. I just hope the club are organised enough to capitalise.

Agree, need to capitalise on the chance for some severe cash input

Got to be a 5 figure crowd minimum

Ticket prices? Same as last round? Slightly lower? Some number crunching needed I think to find the sweet spot in terms of revenue.
Personally I think it has to be lower

Wouldn't it be better if game isnt on TV might just bring some more fans in

While it being played at Headingley may bring in more ticket money, it being at Odsal may be better long term in bringing some lapsed fans back. Hopefully they can see a cracking game with big atmosphere and catch the bug again. Plenty of HG players in the squad for them to get behind. We don't seem to be in the headlines for the wrong reasons the last couple of years.

The club need to be on the ball though. All bars open. All turnstiles open. Plenty of staff and beer. Pricing key too and £15 is about right. Don't try save a few quid on less staff etc
