There's international games to be played. What do you expect them to do?

Just expected a Saturday then Wednesday etc like in the playoffs. Or even a Friday then Sunday same weekend. It's like this is a forgotten semi final |

Would be extremely prejudicial on A) Cheshire who wouldn't get to have Ben Mockford train with them due to being on international duty and B) Newcastle Eagles who would have to seriously consider a venue switch because GB are using theirs.
I doubt its forgotten by Cheshire and Newcastle fans either.

Quite fancy this, remember we went to Lions two years ago 13 points down to win then go on to win the cup. Only being single figures gives us a reasonable chance especially as we played so well beating Eagles last time we were there. Suspect Eagles will be happy with the break giving Getty a better chance to get fit.

Who knows who will be fit for eagles, Lasker, CJ & Eddie are all questionable, let’s hope it’s a bridge 2 far for the Jets |

And the winners get a crack at Solent, wonder who will be favourites for that game? Seeing as Solent are fairly settled in their position wonder how many of their fans will travel up for the final anyway?

They can always get seats on the Eagles coaches, assuming Mockford does all his scoring at the ECA tonight and not Sunday !

So Cheshire get a 600 mile round trip on Friday to play Plymouth, followed by a 400 mile round trip on Sunday to play the 2nd leg. That'll be fun for them!

Agreed - Eagles have the 9 point advantage, home advantage and no prior travelling so NO excuses, especially if CJ, DL & IM are fit again.

Niix are used to it, in December we went down to Scorchers on Friday 20th then up to Rocks on the 22nd, played havoc with the Xmas shopping!!! However we did lose both of them ( before everyone points that little fact out)!!! |
