We aren't going to win this competition. And the game will be televised (all QF games will be on TV). That means if we get Halifax, it will probably be on Sky, because BBC get first pick. That means it might be on Thursday or Friday evening.
At this point, we need to be a maximising income. That means getting either Saints (assuming they beat Huddersfield) or the winner of the Wigan / Warrington game at home. We'd probably get on the Beeb on the Saturday or Sunday afternoon and can maybe push for 8-10K crowd and good payday.
Wakefield are apparently targeting the Cup this season (Carter said that on 'Back Chat' the other week). Going there on a Thursday night and losing in front of about 3K isn't going to swell our coffers much!
Bulls Giant Killing now makes them a big draw.
Don't the BBC usually do Double Headers for the QF or have Sky deffo got one? Agreed don't want to be playing Thurs or Friday night.
I think Bulls vs Fax/Wakey/KR are better ties for the BBC than Bulls vs Saints/Ginats/Wolves/Catalans/FC
