I can certainly empathise - seems you lot are now where we were a few years back. That cup draw is a stinker. If I were Eastmond I'd be worried about risking my threadbare squad in such a game. It's hardly the sort of match to get people enthused is it?

I honestly can't think of a worse draw we could have had but if you listen to people on TotalRL its a great draw that should attract a huge crowd.

The whole idea of having Super League clubs come in at an earlier stage and make them play away was to give the lower opposition the home tie and give them a chance of getting some much needed funds in.

Unfortunately they forgot about Catalans having low away support and even more unfortunately we got them when it’s freezing in winter.

That is sheer bad luck. That said, the club have done next to nowt to promote the game. Not good enough!

Promote the game to who?

Much of the games on it’s booty, no ones interested including the vast majority of people in Halifax and Calderdale, as an indicator there’s as many on here who won’t be going as will be and were long time die hard supporters so what does that tell us about the rest?
