It's not just that, it's that they're (seemingly) effectively forfeiting a cup occasion for their own support base in Hemel. A chance to stand up to a bigger side on their own pitch and give it a shot. How many youngsters will be inspired by Hemel going on the road, getting beaten and the club getting a small amount of cash compared to the occasion they could create at their own home? I think it's a real shame for them, and it devalues the cup.

We simply do not come up to RFL minimum standards for games involving SL clubs. I know we will be warmly welcomed at Belle Vue (although I was a Dons lad I used to watch Wakey as well)
BTW we play at our best on big flat pitches
