Let's see if Hector wants to play ball first shall we. If he does, I suspect the RFL will give this a big shove.

Judging by the stick the Keighley lads gave anyone in a Bradford shirt last year, it could be a lively night. Then again, they might come down with banners demanding "Justice for the 96 Cougars" and burn the Stoop down.

I went to a game in Keighley three years ago and drinking in a pub beforehand a local described how a large proportion of those from the "Cougarmania" era now follow Bradford. I think Bradford are more unpopular than us in Keighley!

I go every couple of months to watch the Cougars and no Bradford are more unpopular than us in the ground, and after the Warrington game it seems that hardly anyone is going to Odsal these days,

But can we please play Bradford before they get their winning streak!

To late, think that the signing of Julian R could well put our chances of beating the Bulls down 50%.....if our past lost results due to tries etc by ex-players are anything to go by.

Poor idea for mine. What is the problem with just playing it in the spare weekend like a normal league match rather than messing around with stupid ideas of double headers?



If it was played on the day muted by the OP, I probably wouldn't bother going as I will be going to the Cup Final and can't afford/don't have the inclination to do both.



I doubt the opportunity to see the Skolars get tonked would add any more to the gate either.

Well I find this more appealing than the cup final itself and really hope goes ahead. Its worked for the Skolars the last few years. And this year the 2 london clubs have the chance to work together and put on a great nights show. Its a great opportunity that shouldnt be missed.

I have no problems with the Skolars making a big show of their match but we shouldn't have to sacrifice a home game for it - the game should be played in a situation similar to the original. It should be played ASAP and not left until August.

I am struggling to see any potential benefits of this double header for us anyway. I would be very surprised if people would want to to trek out to Twickenham to watch Harlequins-Bradford. Many will travel down on the Friday and won't be bothered. And we are on the wrong side of London for many. Plus a home game on a Friday night? Yer because that will work.

Welcome back Mr High Roller



The idea of a double header to showcase RL in London has to be a good idea. If it doesn't happen for the rescheduled Bulls game, I still think that we should invite the Skolars to play at the Stoop at some stage and really push to boat out marketing it.
