Good on all those wearing Leyth shirts.

I reckon there will be plenty there in cherry and white








Good luck with that!




Maybe Warnock realises that Latics get low crowds anyway, take the Wembley-bound fans away too and Wigan almost lose their home advantage, potentially helping QPR?

That's why i said Leigh shirts.

Isn't Wembley a RFL event with profits to them same as Internationals, and the GF at OT a SL event?

Leigh ....... Wigan ....... same difference ....... it's all just cherry and white to me?!

Profits split between the RFL and the finalists IIRC.

Profits to RFL of which a perecentage is allocated to the finalists was how I understood it.

Isn't that one and the same thing?

Very different, RFL revenue is inflated this way. In the same way as our reveue would look better if we took the income and then paid LSV costs.

Don't see any problem with that as it's the RFL who organise the event and effectively foot the cost of the tickets allocated to the clubs.

Gate receipts to RFL. RFL pays fixed amount of prize money to finalists which isn't dependant on ticket sales.

Remember Warrington saying that they only realised how profitable the Challenge Cup was after they had won it with the vst amount of revenue that comes from souveniers, replicas, RFL money, sponsors and other coverage it brings.

Just spotted 'Rosette' Sharon in the crowd in her Northern Rail Cup top!
