It will be the first real test of the season.

Next week is the real test of where we are at

Not Fax away next week then?

If we don't improve significantly on todays performance we will have no chance against Fax!!

Good draw though, it should be a good game, it's winnable and Fev should bring plenty over for it too.

Let Swinton play at Sedgeley Park as in the last round. Leigh v Fev HAS to be on the Sunday, simple as that.

So it's another home/away fixture. Home v Fev in the CC, then away v Fev the week after for the league game.

Will be a very big test next Sunday at fax play like today and we will get beat. Anybody know how acton is he took that bang didn't return . Well done to the fans must of been 750 + today ..

Out of 1007?

players tweeting that they want a Friday night fixture

It'll be more difficult for fev on a Friday night with the journey from Yorkshire after work. I'd prefer a Friday or Saturday. I guess the bod will look at which day is best for the players & which is likely to attract the biggest crowd. Are there are big football games on the Sunday?

Batley was (on paper anyway)

Potential Re-draw following the 6 and 9 debacle https://twitter.com/sammynumber9/status ... 24/photo/1 It might not be us yet

Thats what i wouldve said, but apparently number 9 shouldnt have been in the draw anyway so everyone shouldve been different numbers and the effected teams are kicking off about it so who knows

Only in rugby league!! At least it wasnt broadcast to the nation on BBC.....

Typical RL cock up. They couldn't organise the proverbial session in a brewery.

Can anyone remember the last time they had to re draw 1971-72 season Was live on BBC Look North one ball fell on the floor you guessed it Leigh's ball they carried on Leigh were drawn against Leeds had to do the draw again the following night.

No doubt whatsoever. Sad to see such a small Rochdale support.

Next round HAS to be the Sunday as far as I'm concerned for the best crowd.

Which is more important: the best crowd or an advantage on the field?

Don't see any major advantage from it being played Friday night. Fev's team are hardly going to be still down t'pit until 5pm, they're virtually full time just as we are.

Agreed not a major advantage, but every little bit counts.

They've been hammering us on Thursday's and Friday's for years anyway

Love to see a Friday night game. The players deserve it and the more progressive fans deserve it. Hope the club doesn't listen to the "we live in the dark ages" fans who are very vocal in there love of Sunday drinking club culture.

I was a big supporter of the Friday night games but in this scenario I think it'd be far more beneficial to take advantage of a big away support on the Sunday, something that should help boost the home support as well with a better prospect of a big atmosphere etc.

You forgot to add and the rest of the days in the week.

We have a handful who work for the Community Dept full-time like you guys but that wouldn't class us as "virtually full time" by any means...the issue around Friday night is whether you want to maximise the crowd or not as you'd get a massively bigger following from Fev on a Sunday than a Friday. Think of what the M62 is like on a Friday evening.

That's always assuming the BBC don't show a bit of imagination for once and realise that this, not Leeds/Sts, is THE most interesting tie of the round...

It would be great if the bbc could showcase leigh v fev as the tie of the round, however it won't happen with Leeds v saints. I'd prefer a Saturday evening.
