Cup round 3

[Peter Winthorpe]

What team do we want in the draw.

Home tie first priority.

Than either a lower rated team to hopefully get more chance of a big team and good gate and revenue in round 4.

We have Doncaster away 

[Hate the rec]

Haven away to London Broncos , that could finish haven , with there money troubles.

[Peter Winthorpe]

Not exactly what we were looking for at this stage.

Away and a team from our league. At least we can test ourselves without it affecting the league. I imagine we will take a few down.

[Peter Winthorpe]

Dornie just beat Oldham 28 to 26 in the last round but no idea about form as Oldham have not played in the league.

Don't know how the gate receipts are split in cup matches re travelling costs at.

Rubbish draw that 

[Churchill Drivers]

Wath Brow also away to Batley - all 3 West Cumbrian teams drawn away!

Barrow get a home draw with Swinton the visitors.

after the expenses are taken out the gate the gate money is halved.

Yes David, my thoughts on watching the draw, we don't have great record at the Keepmout stadium.

[Death to the Rah Rah's]

Hopefully we can pick up a win and keep the momentum going, and more importantly get game time as league one just doesn’t give the club enough revenue streams.

win against Doncaster and keep our fingers crossed for a home draw.

I'm not going to make a score prediction as it’s too early in the season to make those calls, but our side seems hungrier this season, and there appears to be a different vibe around the club.

Think mine are permanently stuck in that position now

O.K. neither us nor Haven have the draws we wanted but i see no reason why both Teams can maybe get a win . We have started well  , i take it Donny still play on the football ground so thats a big wide pitch which , the way we are playing , should suit our new style and we should use our pace out wide and chance our arm .With the Haven match , now they have their first win , could go and get a result . I will stay with my original thoughts on the Championship and still believe it is much weaker than last year , London aren`t exactly ripping trees up so they have a chance .

No doubt you’ll have your fingers crossed.

No marra, we need each other,but it's getting harder and harder to keep both teams going and I'm afraid there's only one answer and that's come together , somehow!

Careful, you might upset some folk by speaking sense

[homeandawayer]

As away ties go it's a decent chance to make the next round. Our lads are playing with a lot of confidence and Donny will need to be a decent side to dominate our pack. I'd like to say these games are decided by who plays the best rugby but they usually come down to gifting possession through poor error rates and whether the ref decides he doesn't like you on the day. Should be a cracker.

[Derwent Park SC]

We will hopefully be taking a bus down to Doncaster if we get enough interest. Contact Scott if you’d like to come.

We are also taking names for the Midlands away game on Sunday 26th March.
