| Has any of this been actually confirmed yet or is it all hearsay?!
With the amount of people talking about our Game on Friday night somebody must of heard something...

| I find it quite hard to believe that our game against Saints isn't considered by the BBC to be far and away the best of the two ties for the prime time Saturday slot, it being first against second in SL and also the pedigree of both sides in cup competitions over the last decade and more.

Nothing has been confirmed as yet it is all conjecture at this point

Exactly what I can't get my head around either Biff.

In terms of "prime time" I wouldn't be surprised if the Friday night game gets more viewers than the Saturday afternoon one, whichever one is chosen.

I would think the BBC see it no different to you. Have you seen what the alternatives are on Friday night TV? I would not be surprised at all to see a bigger TV audience watching a game on Friday evening, rather than Saturday afternoon, whether it is us V Saints, or Hull KR v Warrington. Hence why they are considering the better tie for the Friday evening, to see if they can get even more of an audience.

| We're hosting a party on the Saturday so I really hope we're playing on the Friday night.

| If it's Friday it's an even shorter turn around, could be an issue for our Dad' Army.

| I may be wrong (usually am) but I thought the BBC had both semis and that one was on Sat afternoon and the other on Sunday afternoon. I think Rhinos will be at Huddersfield and HKR will be Langtree Park.
It makes no difference, I'll be there and the Rhinos will be at Wembley.

Currently in discussions with Sky, BBC and the four competing clubs to determine who plays where and when.

| Could be proved wrong, but I can't see how a Friday night game is going to lead to anything other than a lower attendance than it would have got on a weekend.
Can't see the logic either of playing Hull KR - Warrington in a stadium that holds 19k. Going to be two-thirds full at best.
