The fixture will now take place on Bank Holiday Monday, August 31st, with a 3PM Kick Off.

What happened to the Genesis gig?

Me thinks LM may not be happy about this - 2nd class citizens his mob





Certainly the best date for getting away supporters there I would think

Maybe the footie and RL club have come to a mutually beneficial agreement which I hope is the case.

Wasn't Cup Final Weekend sacred? More sacred than an Indian Cow or a Scholes Virgin?

Thou Shalt Not Dare Interfere (unless Sky give us now choice) kind of thing?

Cracking day for me.

Brill i am off work

I did wonder, for about three seconds, if Phil Collins and his mates had joined the long list of bands reforming....

Thank funk for that!!!!

See you on BH Monday!!

Don't bring yer best players

The reason why some happily book a week-end away knowing they'll not miss a game

Doh I am on Holiday and will miss Fax and Haven!

Not good value from my season ticket.......

Whats more important a Challenge Cup Final with teams in it that we don't give cr@p about or Leigh staying up



Then again if you've already booked it's a bit awkward admittedly.

I can see your point Glow and feel for you if you are to miss the match after organising an away day trip on a free weekend, however, on the whole I think this has to be the best decision for all concerned.

Not sure who they are any more!

Common sense has finally prevailed, despite the RFL favouring another date, which would have been totally unsuitable to Leigh, and despite Halifax objections that Monday would interfere with some of their players 'social' arrangements! This date is the only one remaining, that is 'fair' to both clubs - unless of course, SKY plump for Halifax v Toulouse, or Leigh v Whitehaven, on the Thursday!!!

For an insight into this fiasco, read our CEO's article 'From The Top' in Saturday's programme.

YOU mean stag parties lol

You might think that, but I couldn't possibly comment on it!

Hopefully they ll all be ed up when they play us, so instead of scoring 50 they score 40

And we score 30 and get a bonus point

Negative thinking Ian - As frankb said 'we will win them all'

The only way Leigh will get 30 points is if 10 players get an sp30 on the way to the match.

Sorry Henry stand corrected

are you going mate saturday.

Thats made a mess of my weekend away then

Essayez d'arrêter et de moi

Must admit didn't know it was Challenge Cup weekend

.
3pm Monday should be reasonably easily from London if anyone is worried about getting back.

A decent Bank Holiday fixture with a chance of getting a few on rather than a 'mid week' PM fixture.
Good news

.

I will give you a ring about were we are meeting and what time ok mate
