Semi Final : Tue Sep 10, 2013 9:47 am  

As this is our biggest game of the season, i hope the club get the word out to the people of Calderdale. In the past we have been playing this game with only a weeks build up. The victory on Friday gives the club ample time to market the game. Have prices been set yet etc? We may not know who we are playing but that shouldn't stop us.

They should do an offer of £10 admission, apparantly the game is on Fri 20th 7.30 K.O nothing official yet though!! Hope we can get many down!

I don't think the club will know who they're playing against just yet, whether it's the tv game or even what day/evening our opponents will be prepared to travel. Personally, I couldn't really careless about the size of the crowd for this one game, winning it with a few casualties as possible is everything though.

Unfair post i think.

It's difficult to promote a game against one of three possible opponents on a date anywhere from Thursday to Sunday.

Especially when a club like your's has historically refused to decrease admission prices & going public on the matter.

You have to make the most of the big paydays.

So hopefully we repay the favour, call the gates much lower than they are pocket some money to make up for what we lost playing you last week and carry on to the final. I also hope we don't have to put up with playing Sheffield next year, great team but terrible for any other club. Terrible support, terrible ground and lose money playing you.

Fax have already intimated on Radio Leeds on Sunday, that the game will be played on either the Thursday night (if selected by Premier Sports) or Friday night.

One of the very sensible reasons given was that, whoever the opponents might be, it would give them less recovery time between fixtures.

Leigh probably thought the same these past two years.
