they wanted to stage it on friday before cup final as a double header with skolars/keighley game at skolars ground. rfl and bulls were in favor but skolars refused as they've played a game friday before cup final last year or two and its one of their biggest attendance due to fans in town for cup final and they werent keen on sharing gate. Fair enough really. looking like we'll play weekend of cup semi finals now.

Like I said, I could see what they were getting at, but thinking selfishly a Friday night game in London would mean I couldn't go even though I'm at the final the day after. If its on the sat or sun of the semi or other weekend then I probably will go, so as a Bradford fan thats the better result for me.

A ground that only holds 1500 I don't think so.

dont shoot the messenger. only repeating what the quins fans have put on a thread on totalrl which they were supposedly told in a fans forum. Suppose they could have got it mixed up and skolars refused to move their fixture against keighley to stoop to make it a double header.
