muttywhitedog: This game should have been included in the ST package to compensate for no home game against Warrington, with perhaps all fans seated in the East & South. It would still not get all ST holders out of their armchairs, but those who would have otherwise stayed away may have spent some money, and created a better atmosphere.
Saturday afternoons at the DW/Brick rarely create an atmosphere anyway, so the passing person would just think the football are at home again.
Not sure how you could include a cup game into the ST when you don't know who/when or where you will be playing any of the rounds, it would have to be an afterthought somehow to add it to the ST, unless that is what you are meaning.
