Preferred an FC v KR draw but St's at home is a good draw.

[Snowys Backside]

Fantastic Draw for the Lobbygobblers. Let’s go down to York in droves and give it our best shot since the heartbreak of 87.

Save it for Wembley.

What's the TV situation for the quarters? Obviously BBC will have 2, is it still viaplay or will sky take over for the quarters?

All you can usually ask for is a home draw , but I'll happily take an away day at York , early coach , few bevvies ( expensive ones ) and this time make sure I go into the away part unlike last year were I ended up with the York fans ( and 3 beers bought for others ) for the first half

Semi should be at Bolton again, considering at least 3 of the teams will be from West of the Pennines

In fairness, there's a good chance all 4 could be.

 

Anyone know the situation with FC's pitch? Heard it'll still be unavailable, but others have said it'll be ok by then.

Waste of time.

Hopefully the latter, as ViaPlay isn't available here in Ireland...

I am still disappointed and surprised that Premier Sports here in Ireland aren't carrying the ViaPlay coverage. I wonder whether the URC rugby union have seen the Championship coverage on Premier and had a word as one of Premier's main sports to simply wipe RL out of the Irish channel for 2023 and beyond.

OK, we'll offer you a double header with the Valkyrie playing the Leopards Ladies for an aggregate score line

The draw?

The matches?

The competition?

The sport itself?

The idea of competitive sport at all?

Life and everything that comes with it?
