Couple of things, well a few actually

When did this stupid rule about season tickets covering cup games come in, its gonna screw smaller clubs left right and centre, remove it now you RFL dweebs.



There will be many Bulls fans who dont have tickets who come and watch aswell as too will many Fax who dont have season tickets, Fax can still expect a bumper day, just not as bumper as in days gone by.



I see no reason why we cant make this a cracking game and cause an upset or at worst convert a load of fairweather fans to the cause.



Its a perfect tie for us, just what the club needs to continue to bolster its portfolio. We are not going to win the cup, much better that have these games than go out to Harlequins away etc.

Yes mate



Beer Sales, shirt sales, burger sales, golden gamble sales, programme sales, corporate sales, match sponsorship, media exposure, and by crikey a chance of a cracking game and great advertising, stop being negative, some people

When the RFL pressed the alarm button for dwindling Challenge Cup attendances.

What a fantastic business strategy they have there

dwindling crowds = less money for clubs, lets bring in a new strategy that brings in even less money

Just proves what muppets they are. The BBC coverage doesnt help, Claire Balding, Brian Noble and Wobbie? come on.





Cant wait though..

One problem if the game is televised, where would the tv cameras go? When Sky show us, they build their studio in the Skircoat Stand and take it over, what would the BBC do? Might be better not being on tv and getting the maximum crowd capacity up.

yeah it would drop 3-4k off the crowd, and whilst tv money may be one thing, we really need to get people in on the day, to see with there own eyes what we like.

BBC could put cabins for studio ect by the grass between the skircoat and southstand. BBC also use different camera positions to sky usually so wouldn't be too much of a problem

I reckon the Leeds v Crusaders will be the TV tie being all Super League and some much needed national PR for Crusaders.

There's two televised games though.

They'll put Wigan and Leeds on before Bradford.

If the north stand is not usable , will the Shay be able to cope with this match ?

This may be the subject of another Council-driven saga.



Life's never dull round here ..............
