Saints VS Hudds
Wigan VS Wire

Love it!



If we beat shudds.

Pies or dire

where will we play at? Halliwell Jones or JJB

will they play at Knowsleyroad?

Halliwell or somewhere in yawkshire i guess.

HJ, Leigh Sports Village and Widnes are contenders, I reckon.

I hope it's not in Yorkshire again. I think it's about time a Yorkshire team travelled in this direction!

If being the key word there. Lets not get the cocky tag rolling again so early.

Location for the WvW match will likely be the Galpharm, ours is more difficult due to the early start of the football season.

Thats why i said IF mate.

Im not part of the cocky brigade.

Unless we have an unbelieveably low off day, Shudds will have to play one hell-of-a-lot better than they did to-day if they are to have any hope of reaching the final.

As for the venue; I'd say the HJ, it certainly should be west of the Penines.

seconded its always us who have to travel in the cup semis.
let some other bleedin teams have a go at travelling this way..>>>>>

Warrington is my guess, Saints get the main stand and seated end and Hudds get the away end (toilets)

Why?
All Lancashire tie will be in Lancashire.(well Widnes, Leigh or Bolton)
Saints v Huddersfield will be at Headingley.

If Headingley is worthy of a Semi then so is Knowsley road.

Wire v Wigan at Knowsley road.

Saints v Hudds at Leigh sports village for me, with HJ as a backup.
The Leigh sports village is easy big enough to handle the expected crowd.
Last time we played them in the cup semi the attendance was 13134

Widnes ground is too far west imo for it to hold a semi final.

Why would they take the Saints/Hudds Semi to Headingley? It holds 20,000+ and there is no way the game will attract that attendance.

If the RFL choose Headingley then they're dafter than I think they are (and I think they're pretty daft). A half empty stadium would look great on the BBC, not. It was bad enough today at the Galpharm in spite of Castleford's best efforts to fill the place!

I hope it's Leigh because that way the place will look full and will have atmosphere. Saints might even be tempted into song.

I think

Saints vs Huddersfield at Doncaster
Wigan vs Warrington at Widnes

I can't see our game being played at Doncaster. I would imagine it will be somewhere much closer to here.

Happy with the draw but IF we get through will make for a horrendous 3 weeks of nerves whoever we are playing!

Headingley - Good corporate hospitality. Plenty seats.
Knowsley Road - neither.

Remember we have a Test standard stadium

, so we should be more than good enough for a cup semi

It wasn't in 2004 or 2007

Only because it was considered too large for the poor travelling support from the pies.

Mmm, pot, kettle, black....

No it's just a cr@p venue with no facilities, no history and no soul.

what a joke!! we have one of the best grounds in sl. you only ever go in one stand so your opinion means very little.

here are the facts: the the north stand has a coprate setup second to non (just ask the icb) the carnegie stand is the newist in sl and the south stand is the best standing terrace in the game. even with damage it still holds 1/2 of your ground.

even in the western terrace you van get a pint that comes from a tap and you can use a toilet that has running water and isnt a porter cabin.

only wakey, celtic and hull kr have worse grounds than you

Least it's ours!!! better to own a bad ground than none
