A Bit Harsh, whilst there are only two pubs with in sensible walking of the ground, there are plenty of decent pubs in the town and regular buses between the town and the stadium.

According to League Express, Hull v Leeds @ Doncaster on Saturday & Salford v Wigan @ Warrington on Sunday.

Strange choice of ground if true imo.

What does Donny hold, 14kish? You would think after almost a 2 year break from big games we would be capable of taking close to at least 10k for this semi, especially if it was at Huddersfield and Hull always take a big following for the big games too. With a good 6 weeks to the semis and on a saturday afternoon you would surely be looking at a 16-20k gate at Huddersfield.

Doesnt work out like tho these days as people wont pay. Id rather play at a full Donny than Hudds with a stand completely shut down side.

At least it doesn't look like they're doing a Friday night semi final as has been the case the last two years (Leeds/Saints @ HJ '15 and Wigan/Hull @ Donny '16)

wish they were. my lad gets married on the Saturday.
wonder if they will miss me?

See you in the Semi Final guys. Lets hope in the next 6 weeks we can both gain ground on the all conquering Castleford side of 2017

Cas will still be a big factor come the play offs, if they learn from yesterday that is. I think what many of us suspected, that one off big games are a different animal to run of the mill SL games and Cas won't steam roll there way through a team showed big time. Powell is a good coach though and Cas have steadily improved and learnt over the last few years to get where they are now, so i see no reason not to believe he will find away to adapt his side. but the final hurdle is the hardest to jump, just ask Huddersfield and Warrington fans (GF one at least ) .

Should be a good semi final, hopefully both sides reach it with fully fit teams and we can have a quality spectacle.

I think what Cas could do with now is to actually have a bit of a slump and have to fight to get the LLS. If they keep going like they are in the league and wrap it up with plenty of games to spare and coast through the final few games I don't think that's good preparation for the playoffs where you need to be battle hardened.

Example Warrington in 2011, lost in the CCQF, just strolled to victories in the league after that really unchallenged. We get to there place in the playoffs and they can't get the job done in a close intense game because they hadn't been in one for such a long time.

Last few weeks of 2015, we beat Hudds at the death and then scraped through the semi vs Saints. Wigan cruised past Cas and then Hudds bent over as usual for them in the semi.

No point Hull turning up by the looks of it.

it'l be a close game could go either way. but you would always back your own team, would you not.

Not in this game, you have a spell over us, and it will continue in this game

No point you turning up, absolutely.

True we've got a spell over you at moment but winning the Cup last year I think has given Hull a confidence now in that competition like Warrington 2009-2012 and ourselves backing up in 2015 after finally getting over the line in 2014. Going to be close and could depend on how injury free each team is by the time we get to that game.

no point us turning up in 2005 either!


poor record against leeds, yep, we'll be underdogs, but we're capable of winning

cc winners tend to come from the teams that do it the hard way!
