Challenge Cup : Tue Feb 01, 2022 8:25 pm  

We’ve drawn Bradford at home in round 4.
If Skolars beat Hunslet Club Parkside in round 3 ( which they should surely?) they get a home tie against Sheffield.

Bradford will bring a fair number down to Wimbledon.

Re: Challenge Cup : Tue Feb 01, 2022 9:08 pm  

good draw for us, will get a good crowd, possible TV + will get knocked out,so paper thin squad will have less games to play

The Broncos have not taken the Challenge Cup seriously, for many years.

At least we haven’t been drawn against one of the top 4 who’ll probably give us a spanking....oh hold on. Sigh.

1,302 was the gate for our swansong v them in 2014 when we both went down.
With a bit of planning, we should look to triple that, starting with tickets for a tenner and some decent EVENT MARKETING!!!!
Dare I even consider a "double header" with Skolars to create a festival of London RL?????

I thought it - you dared to say it.

Seems like a brilliant and yet blindingly simple idea doesn't it? If Hughes and co are committed to building RL in London (yeah, I know!) they should have been talking to Skolars and Dons last night. It's a chance to turn it into an EVENT! Kids for a quid, Dons ST holders too? The atmosphere on Sunday was really good, so here's a chance to build on it, surely?

Weekend of Feb 26/27 .Clock is ticking............

AFC have a home game at 3pm on the Sunday.
So you’d think we play Bradford on the Sunday

AFCW are playing Doncaster on the Saturday, so yes, Sunday looks likely

I would think that the chances of playing a double header with Skolars are highly unlikely, due to the pitch.
Wimbledon are unlikely to allow three games to be played on it, over a two day period. Shame though!
