sure the BBC advertised the next game as a 2.15 kick off, anyway thats not for us to worry about.

Tough three games in a row, catalan away, wire then Leeds at home. We need to win at Least one of the games prior to the fifth round game or I can see the media calling it our mid season slump again, again. Just to make the pressure bigger.

Sounds good to me

Got to beat them all to win the cup so really looking forward to this one, it's a cracking fixture, and if we can't get a crowd for this one, then we'll never get one!

chan looking to return v catalans or wire!

big boost

Tidy

Don`t matter how cheap it is. If it`s on TV it will knock 5000 off the gate.

Great draw - we really should not need to worry about attendance figure for this one - it's Giants vs LEEDS at home in the cup - if that is not enough in itself to want folks to be there and share the experience then what will?

Win this and we are one step nearer to WEMBLEY

COYG!!!

we will need the spirit of 2006 for this one,and i have every faith in (as ray french always say's)the famous CLARET AND GOLD

Great draw! Always a heated game with great passion from both fans and players! Two quality sides with a one off game to progress! Anything could happen!

i for one hope its on tv cos im on my hols go day before rhinos match so deffo wont be there, so thats the crowd 1 regular down already

what was the crowd a few years ago when we played cas on bbc?


anyway its a massive opportunity for the giants to showcase themselves on the bbc..

if we win we will then be on again in the qtrs.. and the snowball effect will be great for the league too with us riding high and the football season finishing


great opportunity here for us!

6,359......hopefully we will market this like hell and get a few floaters down, it has to be priced right though too....i feel anything over £15 will be a bad price, maybe do a family ticket 2 adults 2 kids etc for a good price.

Confirmed as live on the BBC, Saturday 11th May, 2.30 kick off !

should be over 6k for this game then.

no one can say they dont know its on!

I feel a sicky coming on

Let's hope the admission prices are reasonable enough to entice the casual/floaters/armchair fans out for this one. Should be a great game between 2 evenly matched teams, better a 10,000 crowd paying £10 - £15 than 5,000 at £20 - £24. The hardcore supporters from both clubs will be there whatever but we really need to try and encourage people to get out of the comfort of their armchairs and get down there in good numbers to create a real cup tie atmosphere in front of the tv cameras. The pull of the CC has for one reason or another lost it's magic and apart from the semis/final only the diehards seem interested enough to attend the earlier rounds. Hope RHP and his team get their fingers out and bring out "family/group deals" realistic pricing a good publicity drive etc etc to try and ensure this fixture attracts a crowd that it deserves. I personally can't wait to watch this match and will pay whatever but a lot of people will be waiting to see what the prices are before deciding whether to go to the match or get the beer in, pull up the armchair and watch the rugby grab a bit of tea and then tune into the FA Cup Final.

Great same day as holiday cup final when are people gonna realise that there are people that play rugby on a Saturday and end these stupid kick off times just taking numbers off the attendance.

Wonder if they will consider moving the Holliday cup to an earlier kick-off, which will allow folk to go straight down to the game ?

Looking forward to this as much as our game on the Sunday. Warrington Fartowners for the day.

No offence but would be nice to see two teams who are not Wire or Leeds make Wembley, I guess at least you beat them there which is funny in itself but hopefully one team who have not been there for say, I dunno, 4 years make it

write to the bbc/rfl and tell them to change the time and day for the holliday cup final eh.

cant please everyone im afraid

To be fair Saturday is the sensible day for the BBC to show it as if on a Sunday alot of RL fans are out supporting their own sides so viewing figures will not include the people most interested in watching games.

who says these people are going to be in on a Saturday afternoon and not watching or playing amateur across the country I bet if it was on tv on a sat or sun the viewing figures wouldn't differ greatly. Clubs shouldn't play games before 6 on a sat and if they do they have no right to complain about having crap attendances.

Do you honestly think a 6pm kick off gate will beat a 2.30pm one??? And on Cup Final Day it would really be shooting the game in the foot.

Fair point on the amateur game but why not just not show RL on TV and every club can be amateur

And I will not complain if there are 1,500 there and we win
