I think the most there will be is just two. Not sure if they're both on bbc or one each between sky and bbc though.

No Dave's right. There are 4. Thurs 10th and Fri 11th on sky. Sat and sun on BBC.

Quite a few decent games to pick from. I imagine that the Cas/Saints and Widnes/Leeds games will be on BBC. Warrington/Toronto and another on sky.

Toronto Wolfpack v Warrington is the tie of the round and surely will be shown live on the bbc.

Give over tie of the round, its a nothing game! Just your loving of everything Toronto.

Castleford vs St Helens is the tie of the round.

Oh nice!
Did that happen last year as well?

why do you say things like that?

Whats the reason for this. It would give Toronto a decent advantage if they played at home.

The weather over there isn't that bad this time of year

i bet Whitehaven are pig sick with that draw, sure they would have wanted a home tie against Leeds Wigan or saints and a big home gate.

I [ithink[/i that they don't actually make much out of the challenge cup, hence Wigan St Pats deciding not to enter, for example. Could be wrong though. I bet they won't be writing this one off as a lost cause anyway, given how close York got.

The gate receipts, after costs, get shared evenly between the clubs and both clubs have to agree ticketing arrangements.

There have been a few cases where Leeds have wanted to reduce admission prices in order to encourage a crowd, only for the visiting club to object to it.

I bet the Toronto Vs Wire game is played at Warrington.

Assuming they split the gate receipts, playing in Perpignan may not be too bad.
Catalan, despite their abysmal form, manage to get decent crowds and The French may just enjoy some Challenge Cup action.
Dont know what crowd they will pull but, maybe 6500 ?? which, apart from KR v Wigan and Cas v Saints, will probably be the next highest crowd.

You won't get very good odds on that mate.

Woeful Whitehaven would have had no chance even if the match had been held at Whitehaven.
