| The Premier league fixtures are out next week - I wonder whether IL has reserved any of the play off weekends for a potential home tie.
It depends on where we finish in the league:
Anywhere below 6th and we won't get a home tie under any circumstances.
Finish 5th or 6th and we'll be at home on weekend of 20 September only.
Finish 3rd / 4th - unlikely at the moment - and we'll be away the first weekend but could be at home on either or both of the next 2 weeks.
Probably best not to discuss the possibility of finishing 1st or 2nd.
One thing certain - if the problem doesn't arise this year it will in the future.

| It's not worth debating until the fixtures are out but I assume the new top 8 system which now sees 4 matches in the first weekend instead of 2 would open up Sunday as a potential day for a fixture which if available as an option last year would have eliminated to issue I think over the use of the JJB.
Once the fixtures are out and any potential clashes are known it can only surely be fair to us that the club make a statement about what will happen.

| If that's the case it'll probably be Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

| Personally I think it's high optimism to assume we'll be in the play-offs at all.

Yes they will all be televised. How I don't know. There won't be one on a Thursday because there is championship play off coverage on Sky.
We may see a Saturday double header or maybe they'll play two games on the Friday with one on the red button. I don't have the answe and Sky's September schedules won't be out till middle of next month.

One on Friday night, one at 5.00pm on saturday and one at 7.00pm saturday. Last one a sunday afternoon game.
Sky has 4 sports channels so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

| I would love a home tie at the JJB against a team with big away support, we have not had that for a long time. Hull KR, Castleford or Warrington would be a great home tie in the play-offs, but as people have said lets get in there first.

Honestly?
I think we get in with some margin to spare.
