14k tops is Wire's ground, thats 7k each for a semi. Wigan's average gate is double that, and ours at KR last season is well above (I use that as for this season, average gate wise, its a throwaway one, we're nomadic FFS!).
Shame as it is, Hudds is probably the only suitable place to hold a semi of this size.
Rather annoyed that its Sunday though, the Yorkshire two have a lot less to travel. I know its a couple of hours travel, but its a couple of hours travel on a Sunday night where most will be in the work the next day.'"

I'd have played it there just so it was this side of the pennines but there isn't a massive amount of difference time wise when driving to both.
Rafts of Wiganers would have got the train though with it taking only 10-15mins.
