I agree - London and Catalans don't bring any away fans, so no point in playing them and losing and not getting any money. We need to fill the LSV. So Wigan or Saints or Wire would be great. Feel good factor of a full house would be great. And we don't want to be on TV either. The attendances for the TV games on BBC so far have been dire.

Well done the lads today. Riddy did Fax again at the death - just like in Blackpool in the rain last year! Tough on Halifax, but someone has to lose.

all 4 games are being televised. BBC/SKY both showing 2 each. www.rugbyleagueontv.co.uk/ scroll down to the 5th panel (challenge cup games)

We can't avoid it - all four games to be televised (two on Beeb, and two on SKY).....a full house at the LSV, plus TV money, plus prize money would suit us just fine!!

Mentioned Catalans away in another thread for selfish reasons, but seeing as I'm back in Leyth on this weekend, I'd be pretty livid if we get that draw.

Wire, Saints or Wigan home or away, or London at home for me.

TV Money alone is over 20k

ker-ching!!!

Would want .......

1) London (Home), chance of a decent game if Londons current form continues, down side is that we would be expected to lose and might go out having had a small gate - our club would however need to work to sell the fixture and 'drum up' support so can see us still makiing some money
2) Wigan (Home), big payday, big derby

After that anyone at home.

Would be gutted if we get Catalan away (wouldn't be going and the club would get virtually nothing for it as its a poor gate).

Saints, Goons and Wires would see a decent away following from Leigh

Wouldn't want to us get Huddersfield away (poor gate and a shocking ground for getting a decent atmosphere) and Leeds would see another poorish financial return (and another poor ground for differing reasons - if it rains we'll get drowned !).

How important in the grand scheme of things was Riddy's Drop Goal?!!!

Blimey.

London or Huddersfield away on TV. Well done folks we wont be competitive until Pinky and Perky leave.

Catalan had 7k on v Eagles yestaerday. That's a good gate when you compare it to some of the others.

TV money is £20k - split between the home and away clubs. Who is left in that will be generous?

Also, gates are not good in this competition, until the final - especially with all games on TV. Nevertheless, with a 50% share plus TV money we should still get a decent payday, and one that presumably wasn't budgeted for!

Forget the game money, TV money and losing pay will make this more than worthwhile and make a huge difference to the coffers. No disrespect to London but they're the most winnable tie so let's get them at the LSV and give it our best shot. You never know.

Hope it's the 13th on hols until the 12th.
