Tough ones all round this year:

Workington v Lézignan
Sheffield v Toulouse
Keighley v Pia
Dewsbury v Carcassonne

Which game tickles your fancy John - Sheffield, Keighley or Dewsbury?

Dewsbury. Dragons are at home that weekend, so shouldn't be an issue. May make Sheffield too if they do their usual trick of Friday night games.

I'm going to try to get my picture taken with The Great Maxime Greseque.

Challenging, but winnable, ties for all involved.

Off to Dewsbury for definate. Taking 4 from Work, onions striped shirts and berets, I doubt!

My old man booked his flight on the 16th August for this one.

For 3 weekends he's over here:
World Club Challenge
Dewsbury v Carcassone, we miss the Warrington Leeds match, unless Dewsbury move the game from Sunday, yesterday when I spoke to the club, it was likely to be on the Sunday.
Then Leeds v Wigan

Hope to see you there

Is there a rule that French clubs can't be drawn at home?

I'll pm you nearer the time john as to where we will be and what we'll be upto!

For this round, yes. Open draw from the fourth round onwards. Don't know why that's still in place tbh

The rule of playing away is probably there for the likes of the Russian teams, see there's only one this year too.

I mean a trip from Cumbria to London is enouht but all the way East would be a nightmare.

Suppose it keps the English fans happier too, not having to travel vast distances for a CC draw.

Its one of those dammed if you do and dammed if you dont.

There's always those like myself who don't mind the travel and then there are the opposite to me who wouldn't entertain a trip away from these shores, especially so early in the cup.

All goes well I will be at Workington V FCL on the Saturday, Ill keep you posted on the scores............

Pffft. Widnes v Saddleworth. Bring it on!

Rangers by 20

Having been away, well at Elland Road last night my old man hasn't been in touch with any of the Carcassone team, so we are not sure what their plans are when over here.

Any one got any news on their arrival, traning and accomodation plans?

Anyone off to Keighley who fancies being published on the website, drop me a line.

I'd be up for that...

BUT having all the family over from france I'd be a bit in bother, oh and Mrs "The canaries" may just file the divorce papers.

Hard choice I suppose but I think I'll have to decline a visit to Lawkholme lane

whos going to Sheffield/Toulouse? I see its for nowt

If I were in the area that would be my choice. As its free too

Oooh! when's that?

Sunday at 3pm.

Our chief Toulouse correspondent will be at that one too.

Sunday 3pm eh....

meh - even with free entry, it would be 6 hours+ out of the day and £35 in train fare.

Doesn't seem the same value for money now

Didn't realise Keighley was 19:00 on Saturday. I'll go to that one as well, I reckon, so we'll have reports from all four matches right here on =redsang-et-or.net
