Brilliant, aren't the gate receipts pooled and shared accross all teams?

I wonder if we can get Leeds to pay for the ground improvements so we get a bigger crowd???

Welcome bonus in a scant period of home games. Will the club be minded to shift the tie considering the ground restrictions or will they opt for the greater chance of cup progression?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is switched.

Ah well least they'll all be able to have a week off in in round 5.

Bet its televised so there will only be about 4k there anyway.

In fact I'm certain it will be televised. The BBC will not be able to resist dusting down their old waterspalsh footage and poor old Don missing the goal.

Only one televised game. Would guess Hudds v Saints would be the choice.

Agree - Hudds v Saints is the likely choice.

I don't care which one is on the tele Ill probably go and watch both.

We don't want it televising, maximise revenue. A mouthwatering tie..

Another chuffin Challenge Cup year write off!

I think we should forefit the tie and concentrate on beating them the week after....

^^^ Some really positive responses there, such negativity, how can you be fans?



Should be good for income, and at least there are two chances to beat em.

We would get more revenue by having it televised. In previous years there has been a BBC payment made to the clubs and we would receive the lions share of the fee in order to cover hosting the tie. However, I can't see it being us on tv

Thought that myself but at least it's against top notch opposition.

We'll do 'em

You are kidding to suggest we should switch the tie. We are drawn at home and that is where it should stay. If it is not being televised it should be on a Sunday rather then the usual Friday evening to accommodate the Leeds supporters. I might be a little optimistic with regards playing Sunday but you never know.

Got to play the good sides sometime.
Would rather play them early doors, then you look to the next round and who's left.
A no pressure game, where Leeds are expected to triumph.

Might have guessed it'd be Leeds or Hull that we'd get but at least it's at home, didn't we also get Leeds last year in the cup away?

Whoever it will have been they'll know they've been in a game hopefully if we can carry on with this form and tighten our edge defence up in the process.

It's all about ambition.
If we feel that there is a chance of progress, then we must play the game at home.
However, if we want a decent payday (and don't think we can win) then switch the tie.
Having said that, our wealthy neighbours fans' have a habit of not turning out in numbers
for "cup" games that they expect to win, (like the play offs a few years ago when the crowd was just over 8k ?)
So, stay at home and try and scalp the Rhinos (Kath H will get us all the inside info that we need

)
