I'm glad it's Thursday. We'll get at least a full week off if we lose.

Crowd will be shocking though. 7k?

Think we will be lucky to get 7K on a Thursday

We played Hudds away in the exact same fixture last year and the attendance was 7100. If we can't beat that then that's fairly embarrassing!

Which probably included about 5,500 Giants fans so considering they'll bring 50-100 fans next week a crowd of other 7,000 would smash that to bits.

I doubt it'll top 8k which really is a poor showing for the game as a whole. It was a sign of the times on Thursday night when walking back to the car after the game I heard 2 kids (about 11-12 year old) talking about how the season was over now, basically saying now their season tickets have run out thats it.

So sorry to hear that, fellow Bluenose.

I feared the Saints game would be on the Thursday too so I would have to have make the choice myself. But given how the results went,I can now attend Goodison Park on Thursday and Langtree Park on Friday.

We managed 15,500 last Thursday. If the prices are set realistically (ie £15 adults, £10 owd gits, and £5 for kids), then there should be a five figure crowd on.

think we might bring a shade over 150 for this one

so its

2 vs 3
1 vs 4
5 vs 8
6 vs 7

so 5-8 all sudden death matches with loser going out? and the winners playing the losers of the top 4? and the winners from the top 2 into the semi?

Think i would prefer to be Warrington in this play off series with a warm up game against Widnes then a slightly harder game against (bookies odds) cas or huddersfield and then a real a tough game against leeds or saints?

If we win this week we get a week off. If we lose we have a tough match the week after

If Warrington/Leeds win they have to play a tough match the week after, if they lose they are out

I don't like this play off system, but I'd still rather be in our situation than theirs

So if we win, and Saints loose do we end up with the club call?

Re: 1st Week Playoffs - Who do you want? : Mon Sep 15, 2014 12:38 pm  

Hudds could end up with club call if the top 2 lose
