Does anyone know if the Batley game is on the sunday? its just that the Manchester v Trafford derby has been switched to the 10th May at 1.30pm.
i would love to be at glazier trafford to see the mighty blues end utds season

It depends if BBC want to show our game.

Rather have our league season end in May than in September

i think that win at Hull last week has gone to my head

poop, unless we can play Batley on the Friday night

why do the powers that be mess with everything

If the BBC decide again to show two games live on Sunday 10th May I think all the other ties should be played either on Friday 8th May or Saurday 9th May.

I'm sure quite a lot of fans stayed at home last Sunday instead of attending one of the other cup ties on the day.

I thnk they only televised both games on the Sunday because of the Grand National on the Saturday. I'd expect one per day unless the BBC have something major lined up for the Saturday.

I very much doubt we'll be on the Beeb ... even if they choose to show 3 games?!

Surely Saints V Les Cats and Wigan V Wakey?

Cas V Fax has to be more likely than us too.
