i can see them doing free coach travel

We should be making a stand on this farcical situation.
Were drawn at home in the Challenge Cup quarters, tie of the round, and the people who manage the the stadium for the benefit of the teams playing there are thinking of digging up the pitch !!!
Surely they must rethink this mad situation.
We have a real chance in this comp, home advantage is key.
Even the thought of playing anywhere else is absolutely ludicrous.
Adam will get round the table on this one, he has to.

Problem is that grass grows during the summer so we have little option but losing home advantage is massive. I can;t see any way it will be at the KCOM so the only question is where?

I would imagine that there are sub clauses in the contract that mean you wont have a leg to stand on regards the timing of the pitch relaying. Its rubbish but the chances of the football being moved around Rugby are nil.
Surely the best situation for you would be to use CP, nearest and easiest for your fans to get to and the best chance of keeping home advantage.

Impressive win btw, keep that form running and can't see Catalan troubling you in the QF.

Home advantage is a big deal. But if it was at Donny and we replicate yesterday's support, it would still be an advantage of sorts.

never mind playing anywhere else.its a home tie.its at the kc.end of.

No big works on the undersoil heating this year so two weeks should be enough for a relay. We will play on a sandy looking pitch for a few weeks while it takes hold anyway as normal. KC stadium all the way.

Its not two weeks. Rod Stewart is there on the 14th and the games start from the Thursday 23rd, so assuming the work gets underway on the Wednesday after Rod, that leaves from 9 days, not enough grass growth and more sand. Our next home match after the CC is July 8th which would have given just over 3 weeks which is suitable.

Hopefully something will be sorted. Still hopefully we can.play at kc

This fixture will be played at the KC, stop panicking.

Very much doubt it.

Nothing official yet, but I hear Hull FC are hopeful of playing their Cup quarter-final at the KC and have no intention of moving the game.

Donny on Thursday night would be great for me



Agree that the whole thing is a farce though. Not sure why "City" need to sort the pitch again this soon. Looks perfectly OK to me even with a season of football on it.

We shall see, do we really want to play on a recently worked on pitch?

It does now, wait until you see the state of it after having the Rod Stewart concert on it!

Are they going to flood it for "Sailing"?

I could reply really filthily but I won't!!

Not forgetting the Nitro Circus bikes churning it up too!

Forgot about those, yup..it's going to need some work doing to it!

Karen he only kicks 30 to 50 balls out to the fans not 90 mins of kicking grass.
lol

I suspect that's tounge in cheek



The stage will, if its anything like the last concerts, or the squash, kill off all the grass over about 20% of the pitch.

Dont they put boards down over the surface anyway??

If so, why not lift the current turf up before the concert, stick the boards down and lay the new turf afterwards giving it 10 days to bed in before our quarter final.....

I'm no horticulturalist mind

The stage and flooring shouldn't cause too much damage to the grass as it wont be down for long enough unlike when they have had the squash courts on it for a number of days.

Cant see why the KC needs to be relaid so frequently? I understood last time it was due to a disease in the grass that was killing it off.

Hearing it's at KC !!

Told you.
