The most obvious tie to televise for me is the Hull KR v Celtic one (plus the Leeds v Saints one, obviously). The BBC won't fork out for sending a film crew to the Catalans v Bradford one - unless I suppose French TV are filming it and willing to sell it to the Beeb for less than it would cost them to film another game - Hull v Salford isn't too attractive with the current form of each team, Quins v Hudds doesn't leap out and the crowd will be tiny.

So Hull KR v Celtic is obvious. Crowd will be OK and it gives the Beeb a look at the new club.

TV Games - Sunday 5th April BBC2 Catalans v Bradford - 2:30pm Leeds v St Helens - 4:30pm www.rugbyleagueontv.co.uk

I wonder whether Warrington will consider switching the game to Friday night to get a bigger crowd and avoid clashing with the televised games on the Sunday and the amateur games on Saturday?

Didn't the BBC send a crew over for the Toulouse v Widnes game a few years back?

I can picture Ray FRench now "Parlez vous sintellins?"

"Un fish split please garcon"

Yeah, remember watching this game as Justin Morgan's Toulouse outfit upset Widnes.

Already considered, more to do with the Easter schedule the week after, but York are in to make money as it's their big payday.

How will the "payday" thing work - now that season ticket holders get free entrance to this round?

Does that mean considered and rejected, or considered and happening?

2pm on the Saturday according to some on our forum.

From York City Knights Website:

York City Knights can confirm that their 4th Round tie against Super League opposition Warrington Wolves, will take place on Saturday 4th April, K.O 2pm at the Halliwell Jones Stadium. The two clubs agreed to this date following the news that 2 matches will be televised on the Sunday and hope it's easier for fans to play the tie on the Saturday rather than the Friday night.

Admission to the game will be £14 / £6 - Adults and Concession seating and £12 / £5 for Adult and Concession standing. Junior season ticket holders are once again able to gain free admittance with their junior season tickets, using Voucher C.

2 stands will be open at the Halliwell Jones Stadium for this game with a capacity of 7,000. The Wolves have 5,000 season ticket holders (Super League season ticket holders are entitled to free entry on production of their season ticket) so the Knights would urge their supporters to buy tickets once they go on general sale on Monday (16th March) from the club office

AArrghh



Oh well.

Stadium will be half empty on the Saturday - they'd have been better on the Friday night or Sunday lunchtime before the televised games. Working for a bookie gives me no chance as this is our busiest day of the year - ah well, will look forward to the next round!!!

First time I've seen our Season Ticket number quoted, that is very low.

Pretty disappointed too that I won't be able to sit in my regular seat for this game.

thats me not going fancy putting game on same time as the national oh well

GN is at 4-15

true but still some decent racing before it lol if any one wants my free ticket or the free voucher thing let me know

Our season ticket holders get in free, only the York kids go free, not all people who attend will be go free so they get their share of the gate plus the money for getting this far.

And our match will finish around 3:35, so no-one need miss the big race.

Why the 50% cut in capacity?

dont worry 7 thousand is plenty of room you will be able times the actual atendance by 3 unless york are gonna bring there thousands which i doubt

York took a massive crowd to St Helens when we played them in the cup a few years ago, the atmosphere was fantastic! We may only average about 1,200 crowds but every man and his dog turned out for the saints game.

That was on a Friday night aswell.

And since then, you've played two cup games at Huddersfield in front of crowds of just over 2,000: www.thepress.co.uk/sport/4196328 ... r_Knights/ Meanwhile, our most recent home cup games against lower division teams have seen crowds of: 4,184 v Barrow in 2007 4,751 v Whitehaven in 2006 3.012 v London Skolars in 2006 So, I think 7,000 should be more than adequate.

Huddersfield and there great Support. The sad fact is that we outnumbered them in all them games and there not the best draw are they.
The sad fact was the people around me last sunday were saying we'd get Huddersfield away in this round.
Glad we didn't as i've wanted to vist your ground for a while.

Racing??

Deary me today!
