Assuming we still have a club at that point, do we still get free 4th round tickets as season ticket holders?

I'll be paying in regardless. Lets just hope for good news before then!

No, we never did.

juniors go free and discount for members.got mine on saturday

Can we just pay on the gate?

yes will only be few thousand there.never well attended games.

It's up to the Fans to come out in force. A good run in the CC will be good to generate funds. Some good luck wouldn't go a miss either!

I totally agree a good cup run is vital financially and will be good for the fan we should be getting down to watch this game. I know i would love a trip to Wembley

does anybody know if there is any worthy juniors in the U20s, worth giving ago in this weekends cup game?

We may have to, the way our injuries/suspensions stacking up.

Surely we should be looking to get a big crowd, at least by Challenge Cup standards, as a way of boosting up the funds. I'm happy to go and pay on the gate, even chuck something in collection buckets

I hope we'll hear more about plans for Sunday in the next day or two.

What's the split on gate receipts for a cup game? Do we have to give Doncaster a large slice?

The bigger the crowd the more it helps both Teams. The Club should really publicise this game. Big turn out from the Fans on the back of what has already happened.

50/50 split after costs. Although I'd imagine costs could be quite high

Think we have to. Doncaster, with the greatest of respect are a chmpionship 1 team. Think we NEED to rest a couple of players. Paritculary after the eatser period.

1. Ainscough
2. Purtell
3. Platt
4.Walker (How longs he out for?)
5. U20?
6. Marcus Elliot
7. Jefferies
8. Burgess
9. L'estrange
10. Langley
11. Olbison
12. Bateman
13. Addy
14. Callum Windley?
15. Manuokafoa
16. Kopczak
17. Another U20?

For me that squad should me more than capable of beating Doncaster. We cannot risk player burn out and need to give some players abreak after easter.

Well, one player who has worked harder than most and probably needs a break is Langley.

I think its inevitable that Hargreaves and probably L'Estrange will be banned. So we'll need a full game from Diskin, or maybe spelled with Addy? Kopczak has only played half a game in the last month, so he can do a decent stint. And there's Burgess and Bateman to come in.

Is Liam McAvoy still injured? Jobe Murphy?

Hargreaves won't be getting banned, but L'Estrange will.

What about O'Brian?

Agree with your team selection there Bull Mania we need to give a few U20s ago and they are Championship one team so i feel our U20s will be comfortable and it will be great experience for them

Its a big game for the Dons , hoping we & the Bulls make some money. We are playing some attractive RL hope we can give the Bulls a game.

Going to be interesting. We said we had only 18 players available today, so if we have 2 injuries in Platt and Sammut and at least one suspension in either Heath L'Estrange, Aviatior and Adventurer, or Hargreaves we could well have to play a number of u20s even if we don't rest anyone.

Any updates come out on our other injuries, Gale back a week or so early would be a boost. Otherwise time to polish our boots!

No disrespect to the Dons, but we should be able to beat them with a weakend side. But we really can't take the otherwise they'll turn us over. Having said that, we do need to rest some players, but if we can't, we cant, because the U20's that are being sent out at the moment there doesn't seem to be anybody upto it, and the ones that are, are either injured, on loan or already in the 1st team.

BK
Purtell
Whitehead
Lulia
Ainscough
Addy
Jeffries
Burgess
Dsikin
Koppy
Olbison
Elima
Bateman

Hargreaves
Nas

Potential for a couple of U20's to stake a claim, either on bench or in first 13. Naughton, Cockerham, Elliot, Windley? Arn't these guys highly thought of? Never been impressed with Windley myself though.
