Also this game will NOT be likely to be on Sunday 18th April because its Sheffield Wednesday v Sheffield United that day. So either going to be Friday Night or Saturday I guess.

Just a pointer for you - it's Wednesday V United on Sunday, and Rotherham United are using Don Valley on the saturday!

Correct! Hull will be close to a sell-out maybe. Hudds game should be a massive crowd as well with 5k from Hull KR.

One of the best ideas the RFL ever came up with.

Looks like where struggling for a venue already

More likely to be on saturday than friday, well if they want a good crowd they will put it on saturday afternoon.

Saturday Afternoon is a must really.

Sheffield on a Friday night is NOT easy to get to, our support will be minimal.

I reckon Friday at Don Valley then myself. We shall see.

Alright lads, Sheffield fan in peace.

Obviously we're all buzzing at this tie, massive club and a potential money spinner for us. I doubt the game will be played at Bramall Lane, it is almost certainly going to be the Friday night as the Steel City Derby is on the Sunday and Rotherham United will be using the DV on Saturday. There is also the given extra bit of excitement as this exact tie gave us as a club easily the best day in our relatively short history, a few rounds further down the line though



Hope you bring a big following and enjoy the day out, my prediction? Sheffield Eagles 17-8 Wigan Warriors

Holds over 10,000 I doubt we could fill it but it would be great to take 5k and have the place bouncing.

At least the mad scramble for a free ticket like last year versus Barrow should be avoided !

Good news for the regular away fans that go irrespective of getting a free ticket.

Don Valley on a friday nite not very appealling, but Bramhall lane on a saturday afternoon would be fantastic

I hope its the second option!

I now understand that Bramall Lane on the Saturday afternoon could be an option - let's hope so.

Steel city derby is at Hillsborough so Bramhall Lane should be an option i would have thought.

I hope so

What stand(s) do they open for Sheffield home games?

Pretty sure they haven't played a game there yet?

No they haven't the first game there is the week before I think.

No chance they will play the game on the same day as the Derby, there'll be no one there bar Wigan fans!

We haven't played a game there yet, I think for regular league games we're just using the main stand, but we may open a second one in anticipation of your big following, we'll have to wait and see.

I meant with the Rugby game being played on the Saturday though mate!

I realise Sunday is out of the question for obvious reasons.I'm not that daft!

again, typical!!! makes them look good. NOT.

LETS HOPE THERE IS NO REPEAT OF 1998,,, I DONT THINK SO,

It made us look good when we got Leeds away and put them out.

The Derby was originally scheduled to be on the Saturday anyway, police moved it to lunchtime Sunday, would have been easier if it was on the Saturday!!
