London or Huddersfield away on TV.

Well done folks we wont be competitive until Pinky and Perky leave.

Catalan had 7k on v Eagles yestaerday. That's a good gate when you compare it to some of the others.

TV money is £20k - split between the home and away clubs. Who is left in that will be generous?

Also, gates are not good in this competition, until the final - especially with all games on TV. Nevertheless, with a 50% share plus TV money we should still get a decent payday, and one that presumably wasn't budgeted for!

Forget the game money, TV money and losing pay will make this more than worthwhile and make a huge difference to the coffers. No disrespect to London but they're the most winnable tie so let's get them at the LSV and give it our best shot. You never know.

Hope it's the 13th

on hols until the 12th.

Best man at a wedding on the 12th!

Hey up, the excuses are out already....!

Hope it's Friday the 11th then for selfish reasons as i am off then and nights on the Saturday.

Your right mate!

I have been thinking about this,its got to be about the glory rather than money.

A lot of people moan about the RFL and the way they are running the game(rightly so),super league being a closed shop,no promotion,relegation and nothing to play for.

Well,the next game is huge,with everything to play for,how often do a championship club get the chance of a semi-final?

So,no disrespect to London,but out of all the clubs, you would fancy beating them,and has you say...you never know!

Think it has to be Wigan at the LSV for me, the atmosphere would be electric.

Friday would be my best alternative, assuming Tutankhamun's pointy house has sky.

Think its 2 games on the saturday and 2 on the sunday

Afraid not. One on the Friday, one Sat (2.15pm) and two Sunday. [url=http://rugbyleagueontv.co.uk/This[/url is your best bet.

Er .....the weather

What was I thinking of, of course I want us to play on a day I can't go.

Did you count them in?

Well - glass half full - Pies at home Saturday afternoon. Full house on the beeb - or failing that London at home - upset live on BBC......we've done it before!!



Glass half empty: London away with a Sunday tea-time kick-off......smallest crowd in Challenge Cup Quarter final history!!!

Sooooo......how do we think the team who gets us will react? We know we're not world beaters and so do they, but will they be fearful of us in case we cause an upset or will we be the team they all want to play?

Realistically everyone will want us at home.

Another thing to consider: Let's say we do defy the odds and make the semi-final, they will be played w/e 14/15 July (So Dewsbury at home from the Fri night will need to be re-arranged!) - this is the week after the Trains Cup Semi - then we've got York away, and Blackpool the week after that!!

So July would be:

Sun 1st - Batley (away) League
Sun 8th - Batley (home) Trains Cup semi
Sat/Sun 14th/15th - Challenge Cup Semi
Sun 22nd - York (away) League
Sun 29th - Blackpool

Now THAT is a set of games to test our VERY small squad!!

Never mind test the squad, it would severely test anyone's wallet! Don't forget we play Batley in the NRC Quarters though so obviously still need to qualify for the semi.

jeeez you still bangin on about fridays? hardly set the world alite with friday attendances have we??

Anyone at home will do,cash in the till for leigh,if its london its a winable game and if we make the semi its more money again so london for me

Sorry, you're right Matt - we play them mid June in the quarters.....I was getting ahead of myself there!! I was discussing with Walt Jnr. (while sat on the car-park this afternoon!) about playing them in the semi a couple of years back - and that must have stuck in my mind while I was typing.....as we play them week before the semis!!

Getting to the CC semi final, and a return to Blackpool would be awesome for the club - but as you say, a nightmare for the finances of the supporters!!!
