London, Widnes, Rochdale & Midlands through

Semi finals scheduled for 13/14 June.   Widnes, Rochdale & Midlands have fixtures, London have a free week...

London playing 31st May but the others are free, really hoping some sensible conversations are to be had to avoid weekday fixtures

League fixtures to be rearranged - Widnes v Doncaster, Dewsbury v Rochdale, Midlands v Goole

 

That's before having to rearrange the last game of the regular season for the final.    Wakefield mooted as the venue but not confirmed, would they still use it for say London v Midlands?

I spent twenty minutes trying to find when the draw is to be made.   I can find the numbers but what use are they if I can't hear or see the draw being made ?

The draw for the last four will be conducted by York Knights star Liam Harris, with the two ties to be announced on Monday afternoon (May 18) at 4pm.

APPARENTLY??

So, it'll just be announced - I can't hear or see it.   With all due respect to Liam Harris, if the draw's not public, what's the point of getting him to make it ?   And, just for future reference, once the draw's announced, I'll already have lost interest in the draw numbers.

I despair.

Probably because Liam lifted the cup with York last year,can't think of another reason.

London v Midlands would attract about 200 spectators, you might as well play it at one of their grounds.

That's what my dad said to me on the way home yesterday.  Realistically, without Widnes in the final you won't get above 1000 (maybe only 500), and we only took 500 to our home game in Wigan yesterday with half price tickets

Widnes v London final. 

Wow, that's fortunate in terms of the likely attractiveness of the final.

Two chances in three of London and Widnes avoiding each other, so maybe not as fortunate as you think.

I know, I've got a Masters in Stats. I was being a bit tongue in cheek.

35k prize money seems generous for a cup without a sponsor.

Could be more than the gate receipts 😳
