Happy with this. Gives us a even turnaround before and after the game. Hopefully Hull will put an offer on tickets for this game and we'll get a decent crowd in. If we can get anywhere near replicating the noise the terrace on Sunday made, hopefully we can carry the boys home again.

COYH. Bring it on.

Could/should be all home wins

We're away at Cas on the Sunday before the cup game, Cats are away at Warrington 2 days earlier.
I guess they'll stay in the uk rather than traveling back to France?

Probably not, it's hardly an arduous journey?

Saturday suits me, good date as well cos we had over a month or something between home games then so at least fills that void.

Best case scenario given we play the previous sunday and the following Thursday but hudds will get 2 more days recovery than us for the following week. Let's hope the pitch is something like playable

I wonder why we chartered a plane earlier in the season then, if it wasn't to make the journey less arduous?

It will be like playing on Brid beach

Because of the flight schedules at that time of the year

So..... is nothing to do with "less arduous"?

I was about to post similar, the Catalans players (and other staff) wont want to stay in the UK for an extra number of nights away from family and friends.

Catalan have been flying back on night matches after there games

Oh well, it's good to hear that 3 flights in just over a week won't affect them.

3 2 hour flights?

Many people do two a week and 60 hours inbetween.

Good for them.

All I did was question whether the Cats would stay in the uk after the Warrington game.

You, as always, clearly know best.

Never said I knew best, just said it was unlikely. You may be right and they may stay, personally I don't think they will.

Very pleased that we have the Saturday afternoon slot.

Does that mean it will be a BBC match?

Was hoping for the Thursday as we are going away for the weekend.

Looks like Saturday afternoon in a pub now.

Anyone know what weekend the semis are? can't find it anywhere

According to love rugby league .com it's the weekend of 29th-31st July

Sky according to Ladbrooks Challenge cup page

Sky. BBC are doing Friday night and Saturday evening (could be great for TV figures)

There are three Euro 2016 games that day 2pm, 5pm and 8pm so depends how well the home nations are doing.

Ah OK, didn't realise that! The Friday night BBC game should be good though, no fixture in the Euros on that day.
