Can we assume it's going to be against Bradford? Looking at the groupon offer. Can't think of any other fixtures it could be

With how late they are leaving it I'd say it'll be against Hull FC at the beginning of August.

Bradford is the heritage game.

Be nice if we played in a retro shirt for the match, with three quarter length sleeves.

It ain't going to Widnes or Bradford. No where near enough time to launch a marketing campaign. It'll be Hull FC I guess. They generally go with a game that Sky will show and that seems most likely?

Be very surprised if it isn't Hull.

Widnes, Bradford and Cas are all on sale at full price already, and it surely won't be Saints (although given the circumstances, knocking some cheap tickets out for that one might help with the turn-out).

Just leaves Hull and Salford, I think, and I'm not sure the latter fits the bill.

I cant see why SKY would show the Hull FC game given the score the last time we met.

Hull were missing a raft of players though including buth centres and both halfbacks so it wasn't really a reflection of them as a side this season.

The Hull game would be a good choice IMO. We should hit 20k for the Saints game regardless of league positions (possibly more if were collecting the league leaders shield) and with the Bulls game being the heritage match we should push 17-18k for that so if we can get a good crowd for the Hull game we'll be looking at a really healthy final average.
