According to the BBC website at the weekend the Challenge Cup QFs are on Thurs 30th and Fri 31st.

Can you post the source for that?
Don't recall the Thursday being used last year for the QF's (only pool matches). Would have thought that highly unlikely because it would be hopeless for travelling support. And EPRC site shows its as weekend of Fri 31 March/Sun 2nd April.

Hmmmm. Who do we trust least, the BBC or the spivs that run the European cups?
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

EPRC site shows quarter final dates as 30/31 March, 1/2 April so includes the Thursday as a possibility.

There was a QF on a Thursday in 2014 but not more recently.

Thursday / Saturday split could allow folk to attend both the Embra and Glasgow quarter finals...

French TV is fond of thursday's games.
As we are playing La Rochelle, one of the most exciting french club at the moment, where there are a lot of supporters and potential watchers, I won't be surprised if we play on thursday.

Thursday night certainly won't be a great time to maximise the crowd -and would probably minimise any likely travelling support.
But if there is to be on Thursday QF suspect we'll get the short straw-just hope not!

Question number one - will there be pitchside standing?

So tickets go on General Sale at 2 pm Monday - I take it season ticket holders will get the opportunity to buy over the weekend? Not as if we're short of time for selling them on this occasion.

Ok, so Season ticket holders can buy now, but there doesn't seem to be a standing option...

Those are unlikely to sell out - presume the priority is making sure that season ticket holders can get hold of their favourite pew.
