Of co there must be a ground in Lancashire big enough for that Semi Final because St Helens don't exactly have a massive support and the self-styled 'greatest fans in Rugby League',Wigan,only sold a p!ss poor 6,000 for their Semi with us at Widnes just 2 years ago.

The RFL takes the view that it is better to sell-out a ground like the HJ than have 20,000 in the Reebok with all the empty space that would leave. People seem to forget that Challenge Cup attendances, even for semi-finals, have been disappointing in the last few years. The atmosphere at the HJ on Saturday was amazing and came over great on the TV when I watched the replay. They want something similar for the semis and who can blame them?

None of the three towns you mention are in Lancashire
