I think Leeds are on Sky on the Thursday after so that rules out Sunday. I think we'll be on SKY in the Friday.

The BBC could put us on the Saturday and Wire/Wigan on the Sunday maybe.

Super draw. Should be worth a few quid.

Now let's make sure the turnstiles and bars are open.

Its the last day of the Premier League season on the sunday so i doubt the beeb with run the wire v wigan directly against that.

In all honesty as much as we are all buzzing, Isnt a game between hull and cas
(5th v 3rd) more than likely to be the 2nd bbc game?

This will be one of the biggest games of our season. We really need to get it right if we are going to get some of the fair weather fans back. The club should be using this as a way of generating people’s interest in the club again. I’ve spoken to a few of my friends who haven’t been to a rugby game for a few years and they’re wanting to attend. It would be rubbish if their first impression is negative due to long queues.

The first thing we need are a few more people scanning tickets. Perhaps Chalmers and some of the other higher ranking staff can help out. Build a bit of community spirit. Perhaps we could get some of the academy lads and other squad members to help out to generate a good atmosphere pre-match? I’m sure they’d be happy to help out for 30 mins.

Absolutely agree about the pricing is key for this match. Especially if it ends up being on TV too, as that will mean prices too high will just make people watch it on the box instead. There is definitely a large amount of interest already from both sets of fans and some efforts need to be put into trying to generate interest outside of those who turn up every week. As is rightly said, some of the lapsed fans may well be tempted back.

As I've said before, I wouldn't want to be in the position of deciding the gate prices for this one. A wrong call on that could make a huge difference to the bank balance.
