Myton have just advised that the game will be played @ The Shay Sunday 25th March with a 3:00pm KO. So we look forward to coming over next week and hope your supporters turn out as they normally do for the league games. http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/mytonwarr ... 36122.html

...and what's slightly embarrassing is that Fax don't even have the draw on our web-site, never mind details of when and where it's going to be played.

It was only just sorted out last night so maybe you web staff had finished for the day, so hopefully they will put something on today.

But yes would of thought they might of put the draw on with details TBC

Sensible decision to move it to The Shay. With a shared gate Myton will want the best payday possible as any amateur club would and the gate will be much bigger than playing it in Hull.

Also, if I was a Myton supporter or player, I would consider it far more of an occasion with a trip to a big stadium than just playing it at home.

Anyone know why season tickets aren't valid ?

They have been for this round in previous years whether we were drawn home or away.

Junior Season Tickets remain valid for the Carnegie Challenge Cup up to the 1/4 Final.
That is intended to encourage interest in young supporters.
Including the first Cup match your Club plays in the Season Ticket was a bright idea from the RFL, intended to improve Challenge Cup Gates. The problem ( which certain SL Clubs in West Yorkshire still don't understand) is that something which costs you nothing, or appears to cost you nothing, is worth nothing.
The result was that it contributed to the reduction in gates.
The most obvious example of this scheme not working was Fax v Bulls last season. The Bulls insisted on taking their full allocation, collected an aggregate sum of approx £100 as they gave most of them away........ and at least 1500 people with those 'free tickets' didn't bother to attend.
The same reasoning causes large numbers of people with Bulls and Giants Season Tickets to miss more games than they attend.
