If I remember right, last year BBC showed 2 and Sky showed 2. So if it's the same, all games are televised.

The one positive of Halifax would be a championship side guaranteed to be in the semi final draw.

Apart from that I think we are in danger of cheapening our biggest derby. We play them 4 times already.

Have you seen the fixture congestion this causes for us and fax already at this stage? With part timers it’s ridiculous. I reckon we refuse to field a side at barrow. The 1895 trophy is only there because superleague sides aren’t capable of filling Wembley on challenge cup final day.

Halifax at home in the Quarter Final. Another derby day for the club.

Not as exciting as some of the other possible ties, but ultimately probably the best for us.

Best draw for the club imho, irrespective of the number of times we play them. Genuine chance of a CC semi final here. Bring it on!

Well it’s Fax, I hope the beeb see the potential in this match and what it would mean for both clubs to earn a spot in the semi finals. Halifax will be well up for this game and it should be a real humdinger of a contest. On the back of the wave of positivity from the Leeds match, we might well target another 10k crowd if they can price it right.

It will probably be on Sky.

Interestingly, it says 'ties over the weekend of June 1st / 2nd, hopefully it literally means Saturday or Sunday - not Friday or even Thursday. Although I guess Friday evening on Sky wouldn't be so bad!

We need to be pitching the tickets right for this one - a bit cheaper than for Leeds, or maybe some sort of 'bring kids for £2' or something. It would be a real damp squib after yesterday to end up with 4K rattling around Odsal. Hopefully I'm being overly pessimistic on that...

No chance of getting anywhere near 10k for this one. I don't even think they'd hit 10k if it was free entry!

Do you ever think positive?

I wouldn't expect 10k but we managed over 7k for a Good Friday fixture against Fax a few seasons ago so maybe we can aim for that

I'm just being realistic!

We've already got what we wanted out of the cup competition this season anyway, a huge gate against a SL side. So really anything else we get is a bonus now. I would expect there to be 5 or 6 thousand there which would be decent imo.
