No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

Very true.
The BBC do very little to promote the cup and the RFL are incapable of organising anything, let alone actually promoting it.
The first thing they need to do is to spread the rounds more evenly.
This idea of 11 weeks (IIRC) between QF and SF, but only 3 weeks from Semi- to Final is a joke.
Why not just hold one round every month from April onward for SL teams, with earlier starts for non-SL? |

Someone posted on the VT that the 11 weeks is usually filled with Wimbledon, Olympics, World Cup, Euro Cup, etc. so there's no point competing with them. |

That was me. The large events such as those above attact larger audiences and are also listed events that must be on terrestrial tv. Most of them have to be shown in their entirety on free to air tv. The issue is not only competing for audiences but competing for slots in the schedules. There just are not the available slots on the BBC to put the Challenge Cup games. In order to have the rounds nefore the final on tv the gap has to be there with the cup running from Feb to August.
As I said on the VT there are two options to solve this problem either move the final back to May so that the earlier rounds do not clash with big events or keep the final in August and sell the rights to SKY (if the final is delisted) as they cannot show the big events named above so they would have the gaps in their schedule to accommodate it. Personally I would prefer the first of the two. |

Its a great time IMO. Hopefully be a sunny day - Get to Wignes for dinner....watch wire get dumped out of the cup on tele, few more jars in the late afternoon sun, head to the game in the last bit of sun, few more jars followed by the game....sounds like the perfect day IMO |

Sounds like a good day session and then round town at night could be on the cards.
