As far as im aware there is nothing of significance end of june, july, aug to worry about, the only issue would be end of may with the fa cup soccer final, but we've negotiated this problem for this round anyway so why not do it again?

For me I would scrap millenium/murryfield magic, and have a challenge cup magic on the last week in april/ first week in may bank holiday weekend (significantly the old final date for the traditionalists) and take the first round of fixtures proper to a place like cardiff, where you could have your 'lesser' games that wouldnt get a decent crowd at the cardiff union ground, and the bigger match ups in the millenium. That would give us a magic weekend, on the old wembley weekend for the traditionalists, with a chance for every fan to see every team in the cup. Can you imagine what a festival of RL you would have aswell rather than just SL teams, every team mingling in cardiff, 3 games in the millenium, and three games in the union ground per day over the weekend!! Talk about being spoilt with RL!! Would be a fantastic RL weekend for all fans, would have the spice of knock out rugby, and would not have the exculsivity of the current magic weekend!

So childish but so true with the RFL mate......dont dismiss anything in our game!!

I think the reason given why we took it away from Wales because the Welsh RU did not support it, would that change for a Cup weekend?

No, you are a knob because a, all your posts prove it and b, because you post such utter rubbish without the slightest hint of evidence.
Clear it up for me, are you saying Joynt, Faz, Morgan, Robbie Paul, Ellery and whoever else has taken part in the draw has willing gone along with some ill defined fixing??? What was in it for them? You KNOW the tired old "warm ball" story is true because??
Grow up son.

no need to be abusive just because you are the only one who believes the Challenge cup draw has any integrity about it!! Perhaps I am only so cynical about the CC draw after last years 'live' draw at 6pm on BBC which was proven to take place at 10am the same day!!

Thats is? Case closed!

Could you point me to the link where it was "Proven" please????

Another back to back draw for us and we have not done to bad in them so far

at the end of the day no one is going to be able to show the draw is fixed as much as anyone can show that it is a credible fair draw!!! THeres just too many dodgy draws in the past to blindly say it is random and fair!! You have your opinion I have mine. Dont be pathetic by starting name calling just because my POV differs from yours!!! the fact most people knew wigan would not play saints before the draw would serve to show for me that the majority of RL fans acknowledge and accept the Challenge cup draw to be far from a random fair draw!

To accept something, it really would need to be proven to be true. Again, as you're having some problem answering, were the ex players in on it and why would they be?
"The FACT that MOST people knew Wigan would not play Saints" Where did this "fact" come from and how do you know "most" people knew this?
Why would you continue to support a sport that willfully allows such a thing? I think such a "fact" would put "most" people off for life, don't you?

Andy, there was a one in three chance anyone who guessed would be right.

It really isn't impressive that you happened to get that one.

Regardless of what's happened in previous draws you don't expect anyone to take you seriously claiming Justin Morgan, Jonathan Davies and Robbie Paul are all in on some elaborate plan to get Saints to the final do you?

And the FACT that the odds were always against a Wigan/Saints draw show that most rationale Sane people realise that it is that, a Random Draw where "ANYTHING" can Happen!

Oh and by the way!

Still waiting for that link where you have PROOF that the draw was fixed!
You said it, You Prove it

Admit it, your just guessing and you got "Lucky with a 2-1 shot, WOW How did you ever do it!

What about the Wire board were there were others who though it would be Wire/Saints or Wire/Hudds?
Are they not in this circle of "Conspiracy theorists" that you are.

Did they "Fix" the games as well so they knew what teams were coming out?????

Get real man and get back to slagging Nobby off because he Chews the Wrong gum!

Looking forward to your reply Andy....
