anyone know if a date has been set for the Fax home game yet?

Not yet. I believe we offered to play this weekend but fax declined as they're on TV Thursday.

....and according to info on the other thread, they wanted to play it the Sunday after our thursday game

Looks like August sometime as we have to squeeze in the semi and final of the NRC.

Re the final I suppose a Leigh v Widnes final would attract a good attendance but can anyone seriously think Widnes are capable of getting there ?

Red faces at Red Hall, on this one. The RFL originally agreed to the game being on this Sunday, but then back-tracked, when someone pointed out a 'forgotten' rule. I kid you not!!

In all honesty, it was just as unfair to ask 'Fax, to play this Sunday, as it was to expect us to play the following Sunday.

I understand Leigh are now searching for a suitable midweek date - like the one after 'Fax get back from Toulouse?! And the RFL can hardly deny that one, as we've already had to play midweek, after our trip to France!

What was the forgotton rule Alan?

To be fair no teams should be expected to play on a Sunday after a Thursday game, especially when your opponents haven't played on the Thursday. A nice summer Wednesday evening match sounds good to me though!

A midweek in July, if such a date exists where one or t'other isn't playing on the following Thursday or Friday!

Thursday night before the CC final
