the article doesn't really say much.
it's mentioned that the cup hasn't had much publicity so wouldn't it have been a better idea to promote this fantastic competition rather than waste media space in this way?

I was gutted not to get to Wembley last year.....I'd love to get there this year. The supporters of the clubs who say they 'don't care' at this stage would be jumping back on the bandwaggon should their team make it to the final.

I still think Wath Brow and Kells both have chances of acheivingan upset, More likley to be Kells though out of the 2, Expect Siddal to push Swinton close as well
