Well done RFL and the TV Companies, you certainly know how to make an already potentially one-sided game be even more likely to be so. At least if it had been at weekend the Keighley players would not have had to take a day off work or in some cases probably they may still have to work. As for the fans who would have gone in numbers if it had been at weekend that is a real kick in the teeth also. Why am I not surprised |

Us and Leigh have been sat (insert H where you please) on because the BBC only wanted the two all Super League ties. |

Shame for the players and fans, but at least it means I'm only asking for an early shift on a Thursday now, to be home before 8.00. Improves my chances of watching, with sound, an option not viable at work! |

Hey guys. This is partly the reason why i've lost interest in the game at present. The best game, run by idiots who don't know what to do with it. We had a good World Cup, but its back to 'as you were'. |

It brings back memories of the Cup game when we played Saints at Lawkholme sometime in the 90's on a Saturday afternoon when the match was televised on Grandstand. The crowd was just over 4300 I think but the major share of the 'television rights' (according to the BBC) allegedly went to St Helens, which I could not understand, both at the time or since, as the 'gate' (which should surely have included 'television rights') should have been a 50/50 split after we had taken our costs out of then calculation. I apologise in advance if I have misunderstood this particular situation. Whilst I don't know what the current 'match fee' is for Sky broadcasts, I certainly hope that we will be adequately compensated by having to play on a Thursday evening as well as our part-time players also being adequately-compensated for having to miss a days' work. I can only assume that the RFL, who supported Featherstone in heir appeal against having to play their last round game against Leigh on a Friday evening, will ensure that the Cougars will not suffer financially by virtue of their involvement in the arrangement of Challenge a Cup fixtures. |
