having been drawn as an "amateur" team we could have got a much tougher prospect than the Skolars (no offence to them) - being away down there is a pain but one would hope for a win and then the opportunity to beat Widnes or Wigan in the next round.

I'm just being sensible Lynda as asking Trafalgar to do two trips for the same people would cost a fortune. And where would you drop off in London bearing in mind people would be booking their hotels all over the place in that case? If you want to see that as 'overlooked' then be my guest but I'm just trying to let people know of by far the easiest and cheapest way of doing a weekender?

That will do for me - just happen to be 'passing through' that weekend on my way back from Spain on my bike See you all there

Personally I want as many low league teams as poss! Hopefully we have a good run and then draw Wigan/Leeds away. Do we get half gate for CC?

Yeah it's a split gate. Personally I'd save Wigan for the quarters and Leeds for the final.

Fair enough, I cant see us getting enough for a coach down for the day tbh, most who go will probably go for the weekend.

Couldn't agree more there

LISA will run a coach to the game if enough people actually book on and pay for their seats before Tuesday 20/03/2012 12 noon. They can book on at Finnese or Jitterbugs from Thursday this week.
The cost is £30 it will leave 9 oclock(optional change in time to suit the majority available ) for a 3 o clock ko on Sunday 25th March returning after the game. we can only run this coach if at least 40 people commit to it and if theres not enough interest a full refund will be given straightaway.

At LISA we are commited to helping Leigh Fans get to all the Centurions away matches , but we have to run this coach this way because of the little time we have been left with to organise it.
Thanks LYNDA

Just been told their ground is not available Sunday so the game could be switched to Saturday yet.

Re: Challenge Cup Pre-draw : Wed Mar 14, 2012 10:33 am  

I've just spoken to Mike at Mayfair Travel and if the game is the Saturday night then the overnight trip will still go ahead without a problem. Once the game is confirmed then he will start taking bookings.
