What a load of rubbish.

Why?

5:30 p.m. kick off for both games?

Fine by me.



Just hope we get the tickets flying out ASAP and get a good atmosphere there.

Predictable. We need an army of cherry and white to go down and make some noise for the boys. Hopefully we get the away end.



Still can't see tickets selling well for this.

Just seen tickets go on sale 6th June.



Why the delay? Surely the advantage of having so long between the quarters and semis is you get longer to sell tickets but straight away the RFL are taking 3 weeks off that.

I would have preferred Doncaster and it is one ground I haven't been too and a lot closer for me than Huddersfield!

Donny ground is a nightmare to get to/away from given the one road in and out.

what i predicted as soon as the draw was made....suits me

Suits me , plenty of tickets no mad scramble, we could well get the side, practice tomorrow, short trip for us.

Maybe the RFL have got a huge media launch for 'The Road to Wembley'.

Maybe they are taking extra time to plan the huge marketing campaign which will see both venues sell-out.

Maybe they are busy contacting businesses from the towns of the teams involved including the host venue towns... in an attempt to sell large corporate packages.

Maybe they are busy making an advert starring Sam Tomkins, Richie Myler, Danny McGuire and Danny Brough, to be shown in the Northern Regions.

Maybe they are planning visits to schools in Huddersfield and Salford in order to drum up support for the events and encourage young people to come along and enjoy the entertainment in and outside the stadiums.

Maybe they are planning to increase the demand over these 3 weeks so the tickets fly out when they go on sale.



In conclusion, tickets will go on sale on wednesday 6th June announced on the websites and facebook pages. The RFL will then hope for the best and then close one of the stands at the Galpharm so it looks good on tv. The same process will be repeated for the final and a nice video will be posted on youtube of previous challenge cup finals. Success.
