Cheers Matt - Having previously done all those mayfair trips, I was thinking of them as soon as the draw was made. IIRC they worked out about £58 back in 2007. Inclusive of travel, 1 night hotel & transfers. Superb value each one.

Just got off the phone to Mike at Mayfair and he's going to double check with the hotel in the morning but he doesn't envisage any problems in running a coach trip - would cost £69 per person (based on 2 sharing) for return coach travel, transfers to the game and hotel with breakfast. Not going to get owt cheaper than that!

[quote="salfordlad"]Well at the risk of sounding like Charlie Caroli if Leigh and Workington are the only pro sides in the draw why are we away at London Skolars ?

Reply not necessary I have just figured it out. What date will the game be played ?[/quote]

Ties to be played on the weekend of March 24-25.

Skolars generally just do Sunday's don't they ?
BUT you never know, 'coz it's us.......Friday night !!!

Good deal Matt, however would it not have been wiser to let LISA sort something and putting a bit in there coffers before arranging this - just a thought

If LISA want to do a day trip then I'm sure people will use it Col but with all due respect there's no way they'd be able to organise an overnight stop at such short notice and certainly not at such a cheap price - Mayfair use the same hotel every other week so certainly have a bit of sway in that regard and hopefully will mean the trip should run without a problem.

We were the same in 2007(?) when we lost at Dewsbury - possibly our earliest ever elimination?

Yeah we've been overlooked here, eh well , would have been nice to have been asked as Trafalgar have been really good with us , but its not use if not enough fans are interested

I will ask the coach company to price up a coach for the day only and one that drops off saturday and picks up sunday after match, people can sort out their own hotels
