As I understand it the Shay is not available due to pitch maintenance. Obviously grass wont grow in winter so only option is during summer months. The club know this and that is how the seasons games are planned.Not councils fault on this occasion.

More worrying is how we will play back to back games at Wembley.

Apparently this is our first quarter final for 17 years! Who do we want?..

Wakefield
Hull FC
Bulls/Leeds
Catalans/Doncaster
Salford/Hull KR
Warrington/Wigan
Huddersfield/Saints

The dream result for me- Bulls win today, then we beat them to make the Semis!

Well, we wont be favourites, but to have a realistic chance of making the Semis is unbelievable!

Bradford away, they're definitely be a Championship team in the semi's.

Re: Quarter Final! : Sun May 12, 2019 4:04 pm  

Well both sides will fancy their chances of a semi final spot so it should be a cracking game. Two great rivals at the world famous iconic Odsal.. hoping to see another full stadium.

A decent draw. Should be a good crowd and receipts. We will go in as underdogs so that might help focus the team. I am hoping that since it will be June I won`t come away from the tip cold and soaking wet for once.

....another? When was the last one?

If Dulls v Whinos cant fill the "Iconic Stadium" you are probably looking @ 6-7K Max depending when its played

Err , I think it was probably in 1954 Warrington v some team ... oh yes Fax.

Shame Dulls can never fill it like that.

This was the tie I wanted. Would have loved the atmosphere at Shay but with a good number in Odsal it's pretty good too.

Should be a real good cup tie from two good championship teams.

How many do you reckon you'll bring?

I've already got 3 from Fax coming with my normal crew.

Let's get it upto 10k and share another good gate and game.

Reasonable draw ..doesnt look like home was an opton so do it without calderdale council. Certainly can go there with some optimism . Tangata back and scot grix in might just give us that little bit extra
