In the 3rd round I think all the frecnh teams are drawn away, and in the 4th round they can play at home, Harlequins played Pia at Pia a couple of years back OK, so maybe I'm being pedantic but the way the draw was done this round seems very unfair to the ametuer and overseas clubs. Why not just an open draw? Also I think the French away for Round 3 rule also supports my poitn above, what would it hurt to have a few games in France? Anyway enough opf my moaning, hopefully a few'll get through and I'll be happy. Me too, I suggested Hunslet, would have been a far better game to see, either way I will be there I think Yeh exactly, I know you won't agree with thbis but I think they could have evn beaten a weaker Championship side. OK so that's judging from their result against Celtic last year which is all I have to go on, I'm pretty sure Celtic pasted a few NL1 clubs, think what they could have done to a club like Hunslet. Anyway Lokomotiv 24-20 Leigh  Seriously though I think Leigh will win by 20-40. Yeah I thought it was unfair too... but marv pointed out in PMs to me that these clubs are playing in the 'english challenge cup' so in a away if they want to play then its the scrafice they make. well it makes it easier to see a Russian team this way than having to fly all the way to Moscow. |

I think they might have a chance against lower Championship1 (NL2) clubs but even the better sides in Champ1 beat the French teams, and I would suggest the LER sides are better than the RRL teams |

Seen this over on TRL.
All amateur teams get £2,000 for entering the comp and another £1,000 if they lose the 3rd round game.
The pro teams get all the gate money,(whether home or away),as well as
£9,000 for entering and £3,000 if they lose.

Marv... you have a dilema now... do you see Barrow, or loko or someone else? No Dilemma as far as Barrow are concerned, I will see Blackpool V Barrow at leat 3 more time this year without the CC. For me the bastard is not seeing Loko and ASC, maybe this means I can see London Skolars V Wath Brow though? |

Maybe ASC XIII will make the lord derby final and you can come down for that I certainly will make the attempt.  |

I would like to do the Lord Derby but I havent told you, well havent really told anyone but my muisses is preganant again so we have baby number 2 on the way. The Lord derby being in May might mean its too late for me to go such a long way. Thats why I'm trying desperatley to get some games in Early in the season, in the UK |
