kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

Beltin idea , if you want the clubs and the RFL to lose money on playing in the semi final of the cup

The cost of renting would take all your gate reciepts

Stadiums like
Reebok, Ricoh, Elland Rd, Hillsbrough, Pride Park ,City Ground for a CC double header possibly even Leicester Tigers - Welford Road

London is too far and you want a capacity in the mark of 25-35k and i reckon it'd work

Quote: Odem "It doesn't create a new event. It just improves the existing one. How can Rugby League expect to grow if our semi-finals are attracting only 10k. We need to make our big games bigger.

What could be bad about taking our game to a place where it isn't too popular and filling the stadium with 36,000 people over one weekend.

Only a rugby league fan could say 'nononononono' to that.'"

WHY are the Challenge Cup semi's only attracting 10 K?

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg

Because the RFL are not marketing them as big games. They should be huge! Played infront of big crowds.

The RFL have lost interest in any rounds before the final. Would we not be better placed in terms of sponsorship and tv rights if the semi-finals were huge games?

Quote: NickyKiss "I'd be all for a double header but just play it locally rather then staging it in London or some other 'non heartlands' city.

I certainly don't think we'd have the same problems as Magic in terms of fans just watching their games because there would be a real interest to see who'd win both and who'd meet in the final. The losing set of supporters from the first game may shuffle off pretty sharpish but that's to be expected.

Somewhere like the Reebok would be decent.'"

I agree.

The two options I've liked so far are:

Blackpool semis (with a 9s tournament included to get everyone down there).

Manchester DH, with Magic in London (but not at Wembley).
