Fantastic tie. Cant really see any other tv games except us and the rhinos! Anybody know which weekend its played over?

It's a good draw.

If it gets on tv it's a fantastic one. A full stadium and massive atmosphere on tv would be brilliant for the club

played over 7th or 8th May

I think the fact they have '10,000' season ticket holders is irrelevant. They will still only be given 'x amount' by us, lets say 3,000 if the north stands fully open. I would assume that as the home team we call the shots re numbers. This must happen most seasons when a SL team get an Championship team away, and their demand is more than what they can have, so its nothing new.

As for what would happen to the 'other 7,000' that couldnt get in - well, let Bradford worry about that.

Stop the doom and gloom. cant be any worse than last year...i think! Bradford will have to play a decent side as they could get turned over if they dont so that should ensure a big crowd even though they will get in for free. Hopefully the dinning will sell out plus the fixture should also put a few more Fax bums on seats and increase merchandise sale etc. The bottom line (if you pardon the expression) is that we get to challenge one of the big teams that we hope to be playng on a regular basis in the near future. Really pleased with the draw personally.

Anyone gonna start the "REJECT" chant to Shad when he's carrying their water bottles ?


It'll be nice to stuff this lot, first time in years, shame so many of their lot won't have to pay in, but it's their only chance in the cup this year, we're on our Wembley trail now !!!

Thirteen years since a Fax victory over the Bulls...

You wanna try being relegated matey, see if you still hold the same enthusiasm for the game.
The romance of the CC is still alive for some of us.

It seems longer. That's all a distant memory now .........................

Where's me teeth .................?

20-20 with 11 men in 2000 too

Typical Fax fans moaning at the biggest game since we dropped out of SL, the money lost by Bratfud season ticket holders will be offset by the fairweather fans coming - it will be immense!

Lets hope the North Stand gets sorted and the club really get behind promoting this game

You watch, the council will probably drop the Shay capacity to 5,000 for this one.

Went to a fair few Fax games that year. Seeing Pearson watching relegation officially confirmed from his wheelchair is one of the saddest things I've seen in twenty odd years of watching rugby league.

Heading up from London for the game, hope we stuff you but doubt it will be a blowout. Looking forward to it but with healthy trepidation.

A good tie. Will get sleeping fax fans through the gate, shame the steam pigs don't have to pay though.

On the other hand, let's calm down a bit. We will get smashed, here's hoping it won't be live on tv!

According to Bubba on FCHT forum, capacity will be enough for this one without the north stand. The drugs must really be taking hold now! Some of the other knuckle-draggers don't think it will even be necessary to open the Skircoat. I despair.
