It’ll be a repeat of our last cup tie when we played in the mud in front of a tiny crowd. This time I fancy us to win narrowly. Hopefully the weather will be better. I’d urge Chalmers to think creatively when marketing this game or we’ll be lucky to get 1000.

Unfortunately, the incompetents never had a clue and still don't, what to do with it. So now it is reduced to one man and his dog crowds, and the RFL pitifully demanding some clubs pay a huge bond in case they reach the final, a more abject surrender of responsibility it would be hard to imagine. Soon it will be gone from its main attraction to fans, Wembley, and then it will be consigned to the dustbin of history.
