If it works then it should rightly be applauded.
Fingers crossed it works for HKR,if it doesn't then hopefully its Hudgell and co who will cover the losses unlike other SL clubs who had to go cap in hand to the governing body for financial help

There is no losses, the tickets were part of a sponsorship deal and given to kids who would very likely not have gone otherwise. Game got over 11k, without offer it would have likely got around 10.000, nothing lost and added to a great atmosphere.

Sky and the RFL have ruined this completion.
If Sky had the tv rights to the completion they would have promoted it more.
Even though Sky show a game or 2 from the quarter finals and semi finals they never build the competition up.
Everything is now all about the Grand final and the cup is forgotten.
It is just something that is in the rugby league calendar and nothing else.
This was one competition that we had that was unique to us.
The Aussies loved.
I watched an interview with Danny Buderus who said he and his friends used to get up in the middle of the night to watch the challenge cup final and dream that they would play at Wembley one day.
Does this not say something?

Never mind. There are lots of other houses.

The Challenge Cup? You're not counting a full house at Wembley on prime time terrestrial TV then?

He couldn't afford a video recorder?
