Sunday 5 April Salford at home in Challenge Cup
Friday 10 April Rovers home
Monday 13 April Saints away
Friday 17 April Wakefield home

Any chance of moving the CC game to Friday night or the Wakefield game to Sunday, do you reckon?

Dont forget its the same for all the teams and what with our strength in depth this season surely it would be a distinct advantage to play those matches close together ! We've not been in such a healthy position for years, I would imagine we'd have more players to choose from than most teams come that time, how does anyone think about it ?

Why?? City play at home to Portsmouth on the 4th, so surely Duffen will not want the pitch 'turfed up' before a big game?

In my experience it's soccer that cuts the pitch up - it's mainly played in the centre circle and in the goalmouths with a few sliding tackles out wide. That isn't meant as a dig at soccer, I just find it odd that people think RL cuts pitches up more than the round-balled variety of football.

Not only is it your experience, the ground srtaff at the KC have said the same in print on more than one ocassion, and I'd imagine staff at other stadia have aswell.
