very true mate.....and i doubt they need the money

SUrely they would have worked out the permutations before the results of todays games? Oh hang on its the RFL and ive had 1st hand knowledge of how amateur these muppets are....

Surely this was sorted out 9 weeks ago with QF draw, there are only a few permutations, Cas v Hudds Yorkshire winner, Hull v Leeds Yorkshire winner, Wire v Wigan non Yorkshire winner, Saints v Hull KR either or.
Doubt you can go to Football club, er we want to play rugby on your pitch in 2 weeks thanks.

At the risk of getting shot down in cold custard for saying this - what would be wrong with sending our game to Leigh Sports Village ground?

....and small time and damaging to the games image for a show piece semi final!!

Take on what the other poster was saying about petrol but 92 miles will cost you what £15 tops. Youd be paying for the ticket regardless even if it was at wire, and you'd still have a round trip of say 24 miles to travel costing you up to a fiver.

So basically, your quibling about a tenner!! And given RL ticket prices are far from riddiculous as the other poster seems to suggest, but are actually riddiculously cheap for the product your getting.....compare to what you pay to watch a drab game of soccer where you'll be lucky to get change from 50 quid for a ticket, and no family deals to get your kids in.

Top marks to the RFL if theve gone for Huddersfield IMO - Its realistically the most sensible option. Petty the RFL cant make it so easy and accessible for everyone and just play it on your doorstep at the JJB to save you the epically long journey of up to an hour and a half with that taxing change of train!!- that said some would probably then complain about having to walk, and what happens if its raining and they get wet!!





If we get to Wembley I just hope and pray the RFL switch the game to the LSV because that 200 miles is far too far to go for a showpiece final

It's too small.

ffs.....ive nearly choked on my beer.

forget the capacity issue.......itll be quicker going to hull

14 minutes and counting

Trouble at mill I reckon.

Just e-mailed my last minute request to the RFL to ask them to play it on my local park as if its anywhere else it may be too far away and I may not be able to attend. Hope they'll be able to accomodate me and ensure this game is accessible!

cock up at mill more like.

-4 and given up........

Cant see an announcement being made now tbh so expect it will be tomorrow

Either somethings not gone to plan at the RFL or wigan have got it wrong. Heavily suspect it will be the former, particulary when you look how the respective organisations are run.

Knowing the RFL, they'll have probably forgotten to do something ruddimentary like check Huddersfield Town werent playing on the saturday when making provisional checks for the semi final venues (thats if they even did the provisional checks in the first place, which it wouldnt surpise me if they didnt). Bunch of clowns!

Not all of us are lucky enough to live in Wigan. It's nearly 80 miles for me. I'd actually rather it be played at Wembley.

Lucky?

So a person should want to live in Wigan because the rugby team won yesterday?

ok...

Just one of many reasons id chose it over wire pal. Not just yesterday, but the fact we have the worlds most famous and successful Rugby team is a massive plus yes...That and the fact its not a $hitty new town full of Ikeas and Tescos. Your only one up on Skem!



I was more referring to the fact that I thought you would still be hiding under a stone though!



On a positive note for wires- At least your team is representative of your town....both have no history

Nah, not just yesterday. For most of the last hundred years.

Don't really care where its played, as long as Wigan play and I can watch.

Yes, but as we know, lots of Wigan fans don't actually live in Wigan... so you could have the best of both worlds, support Wigan, and live in a nice town as well.

Is that an admission from a Wire that wigan are the best?!

This just gets better!





May need one of these

I already said on another thread Wigan have the best team?

I do. I live in Chester and its a nice City, not a town but if I am perfectly honest it's no where near as friendly as Warrington or Wigan. That said if I had but two choices of where to live, Warrington or Wigan, it would not be that sprawl Warrington has turned into. It's a pretend Milton Keynes that has ended up like Runcorn (where I work). No doubt because of that daft idea of the Warrington-Runcorn New Town. What a complete mess compared to what it was when I was a kid (a nice town).

So are us Sintelleners Lancastrians again and not Scouse??

21 years actually,just to be predantic.

The last Semi between us was in 1990 at Old Trafford. Fantastic duel settled by a piece of magic from Hanley in the last minute. (ouch, it hurt saying that)
