Quite possible, also for the NRC.

It's a well known fact that most of the Town supporters blame Fax for the state of the pitch, but as one eminent fax official said yesterday, when we finish our season in October the pitch is pristine, by the time we get to a pre season friendly it's in a terrible state.

When did socer supporters last say anything smart ?

If they were smart, they wouldn't be watching soccer.

I think it's a great draw for both clubs. Don't really understand the fascination with playing a big club and losing, yes it raises a bit of cash but I'd much rather have a winnable tie and a chance of progression, which this certainly is for both Sheffield and Halifax.

We've had HFC, HKR, St Helens, Wigan, Catalans all in the last few years, lost the lot, novelty wears off after a while!

Should be a cracker.

OK draw-Better than Catalans at home or London RFL away! We can beat Sheffield as well. As for the RFL and BBC-what do you expect from those who couldnt organize a P Up in a brewery? Big Nige and his friends at the BBC couldnt give a stuff- and it showed

The Cup 1/4 final is scheduled for 14th July. The Shay pitch work will be complete by then.
But it would be wise to wait until after the 5th Round before choosing opponents for the 6th Round!

Well, it's looking like Sheffield United will be in the League 1 playoffs, but they play the weekend before, so hopefully we should be at Bramall Lane

We could always ask Ziggys to them a discount.

I think it's an awful draw for Halifax. Sheffield are a very tough side to beat, they currently have good knockout comp mentality reaching the last two consecutive GF's and i suspect the friday night factor will come into play. We have to go there in a league fixture soon too, but i think if we go there in good health & current form we can win.
If we fail to win it'll be a poor financial return out of this tie by comparison to the other away ties we could possibly have pulled.
Richard bleeding Bacon....

We beat 'em when we were not playing well, so let's all get down there and roar the lads into quater final. Oh, it's a great supping hole for real ale too! Mmm!
