Therein73 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) An annual topic I admit, but who would you like us to get in the 3rd Round ?? Draw tonight on BBCiplayer .........from 6pm I believe As a dreamer and a sentimental oldie, I'd love us to get Bradford at home and avenge the semi-final defeat of '73 ........ (I know we've played and beaten 'em in the CC since then, but it's the 50th anniversary ..........and it'd be a decent crowd !!)

Home draw would be nice,but what’s betting we get one of the Cumbria clubs away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanningley at home would be good but am fully expecting a trip to Cumbria as per tradition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creditwhereitsdews Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Rochdale at home, could be worse. We play them away in the league a couple of weeks after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddyfunster Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Wouldn't it be nice if the Beeb took some proper interest in broadcasting a few games in this round, obvious choice would be Fev vs Fax. There's what looks like a few evenly matched fixtures, Hunslet vs Keighley, Barrow vs Swinton, Us vs Rochdale and even the all amateur Leigh Miners Vs Rochdale Mayfield. 1 The future's bright, the future's RED AMBER & BLACK! http://www.jmgaskets-seals.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creditwhereitsdews Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I think the Beeb already does take a "proper interest". Its coverage of the early round Challenge Cup games has been one of the competition's biggest saving graces in recent years. Cornwall match was brilliant at the weekend, and it was nice to see Edinburgh in the previous round. I like seeing the more far-flung teams and hopefully it will help the game to spread further. Hope they stick with the amateur teams for this round, maybe Orrell v Midlands or Thatto Heath v North Wales, then one of the all pro affairs. Flat Earth Fev will massacre Halifax but the other games you mention look to be closer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't want to miss out on Coolie's and BSJ's posts 2 I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
