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

The point about admission is important. Too low and you don’t make enough money. Too high and you price people out of it.

As has been said, someone needs to do some number crunching.

Also, the bars need to be fully stocked and all open with sufficient staff. On the few hot days when I fancy a beer it’s not uncommon for queues to be a mile long and people end up getting hacked off and not bothering.

Same applies to the food stalls.

Those turnstiles need a drop of oil too. I hope we don’t think we can cope with the usual entrance arrangements!

Smashin'.

Sod it! I've forgotten where I left my father's gun...……….

This will be one of the biggest games of our season. We really need to get it right if we are going to get some of the fair weather fans back. The club should be using this as a way of generating people’s interest in the club again. I’ve spoken to a few of my friends who haven’t been to a rugby game for a few years and they’re wanting to attend. It would be rubbish if their first impression is negative due to long queues.

The first thing we need are a few more people scanning tickets. Perhaps Chalmers and some of the other higher ranking staff can help out. Build a bit of community spirit. Perhaps we could get some of the academy lads and other squad members to help out to generate a good atmosphere pre-match? I’m sure they’d be happy to help out for 30 mins.

Absolutely agree about the pricing is key for this match. Especially if it ends up being on TV too, as that will mean prices too high will just make people watch it on the box instead. There is definitely a large amount of interest already from both sets of fans and some efforts need to be put into trying to generate interest outside of those who turn up every week. As is rightly said, some of the lapsed fans may well be tempted back.

As I've said before, I wouldn't want to be in the position of deciding the gate prices for this one. A wrong call on that could make a huge difference to the bank balance.

It’s probably too late now but it’s a shame the place looks so shabby. A lick of paint would improve it no end. More seriously I do wonder if the away terrace and the barriers are safe. I’ve not seen terracing that shabby since I was last at Belle Vue.

Where's Vasty when you need him.

He'll be along in a minute I'm sure now you've mentioned him, all the Wallace and Gromit style alarms will be going off in his tinfoil lined bunker under Doncaster Road

Just a side note, maybe we could all do our part in making this a big game and getting lapsed fans back. Get onto all our friends and family to come. I know some who haven't been for a couple of years who are on about coming. I'm on at them all the the time now to come.

Off-field we seem to have some stability. We just need more feet on those terraces to fill Odsal out a bit more. Could be a watershed moment for the club after all the years of BS to convince people to come watch us again. Let's try get a feel good about the place.

count me as one of your additions, Thursday is good for me as I can go direct from Malton where I work and afterwards on home, and she who must be will not be expecting me to paint the allotment shanty town in urban retro deconstructed green gender-neutral colours (by a strange coincidence red amber and black) on a Thursday evening.

So sweepstakes on how soon it gets changed to a Sunday?

well if there knackered I'll show you how to fix them



great draw for you and I hope make a good game of it and you get some of those so called fans back

Shock disclosure ! Jordan Lilley gives away the secret tactics which led to the massive turnaround of fortunes against Leeds, as told to the T & A....
"We managed to move the ball around and Featherstone did not know what we were doing."
JK is apparently horrified that Lilley could have handed advantage to Leeds for the eagerly anticipated cup clash !

CONFIRMED
Saturday 11th 2:30pm

Prime time slot. Oooo it's going to send some social media users into meltdown us being a "big club" still :p

Don't forget that the game is being played at our 'Iconic' ground.

Let’s hope all local amatuer games are postponed that weekend then as we all play on saturday with 2:30 kickoffs.
