Worst possible draw we could have had. The club will have to work hard to get people into the ground, it's a tough sell when it's not included in the season ticket and there's very little to build around the tie. We've never even played Catalans before to my knowledge!

We have. About seven years ago.

Do you think the club will keep the prices at £15, £10 ect or r ramp it up because we are playing a SL team. Hope they keep the prices low as that may attract more people in.

I imagine club will go full price for this one although I would like to see them have some common sense with it not really been a tie that will bring floaters in. Realistically probably looking at 1000-1500 for this tie unless they give a load of free tickets out which won't help with cash flow anyway.

I am sure we played them at the shay under the old middle eights system. And if i remember right Greg bird dropped poor Ben heaton on his head and only got a yellow card.

As for the tie like as already been said this match will not make us any money and then we have the Bulls on good friday who will have their feet up while we are taking a good french pounding.

Confirmed for Sunday which at leas will appease some of the Town fans but for some of them I really don't know how they function each day.

Perhaps if they had directed their frustrations at the council for a number of years over the state of the shay, something may have been done about it? But on the whole it's just easier for them to blame the rugby. They still see if as their pitch even though the current club only came into being in 2008.

The overall state of The Shay is a disgrace, has been for years. It's always been a low priority for the council and now they wish to "dispose" of it, it is even less of a priority.

And I'll put my orthopaedic shoes on and stand corrected on having never played them before, I thought the closest we came was when we'd have played them in the Challenge Cup but got thrown out and Batley played them instead

I see that the club have announced that Ellie sax will be playing on Sunday, which I’m not bothered about but when are they going to tell us how much they are going to charge for entry.
