Challenge Cup 3rd round : Tue Feb 16, 2010 6:46 pm  

We got Wigan St Judes at home

Eventually we did. The sound on the feed wasn't working and they had to do it twice apparently because they left someone out of the draw.

Absolutely pathetic from the RFL as usual.

it might have been a farse yes but you Drew Wigan St Judes at home, pretty much a home banker.

you might have drawn Fax in the first drawing of it.

We apparently got Oldham at home. Would have been a better tie for the gates.

can you use season tickets for cup games at Widnes.

if not, you would say get 3/4 thousand of people paying on the gate, plus the knowledge that your going to be in the next round and the chance of a super league club.

Fax got drawn away at Ovenden, yet we got drawn away but we will probably end up playing the game at the shay anyway.

Yep season tickets can be used for this one but on past experience the 'magic' of the challenge cup doesn't really happen for people until we are drawn against a 'professional' outfit.

I'd expect a poor attendance for this match.


I'll get blasted for being cocky here but it's always good to beat Wigan St Judes

Close, a team was drawn and then put back in the bag so came out twice
