I see this fixture has been provisionally pencilled in for Sat 25th of August, right near the end of the season, according to the fixture list on the official site.

Isn't that Challenge Cup final day?

3pm kick off?

Yes it is. Although if both clubs lose their NRC QF's then I'd expect it to be possibly rescheduled for one of the blank NRC dates. Playing on Challenge Cup Final day wouldn't be the best of ideas IMHO though.

Hope not I`ll be in London for the weekend.

Sunday 5pm, the weekenders will be back and no SL games that weekend.

Well thats a daft idea if so

RFL COCK UP AGAIN SHOULD NOT BE ANY GAMES ON THAT DATE.

I think Fev played Sheffield on the challenge cup weekend last year.

They did Ryan. It says on the official site that the fixture and time are to be confirmed, but that is when it is pencilled in for provisionally.

Didn'e we play Halifax on the CC weekend in 2009

Was n`t that on the BH monday though?

Yea i think it was.
I only remember it cos my mate was after getting a train back from london to try and make the game

I suppose the K.O time will be either before or after the CC game.
Is the CC 2 or 3PM this year or has it moved times like the FA Cup final did ?.

If they choose the saturday they`ve dropped a clanger imo.
If the clubs insist on that weekend the monday`s good with me.

2.30pm

I suppose its hard to find a date that both clubs agree to and can accomodate.

Saturday or Sunday of the Challenge Cup Final. No chance.

It is a non starter surely we all realise that.

well as a season ticket holder, but also a rl fan in general i shall also be in london for the cup final, surely this is a joke, and not a funny one at that, if they insist on playing on this date then i will be writting in the strongest possible terms to both the club and rfl, surely this is a wind

Trouble is, when else do you play it?

trouble is you can never please everybody and if this is the only blank weekend then so be it those that carnt go will just have to get over it id rather be watchin leigh than anyother team thats for sure

Thursday 23rd August 7.30pm would suit.

Depends on whether one or both of the clubs have already given their players the week off who have then booked holidays etc, given it's pretty rare for games to be played that week.

why not a midweek date, i seem to remember rochdale played south wales last wednesday, now if south wales can come to rochdale on wednesday, i am sure keighley can come to leigh

Have a look down the fixtures and see where we can fit in a midweek game, bearing in mind the Thursday games that either club are involved in along with the period where the pitch will be unavailable.
