Leicester Tigers ground, Sixfield in Northampton (maybe a little small) or Oxford Utd where I understand the Wigan owner still holds some sway.
All easy for both teams to get to via a range of transports, all have held RL in the past and all of a reasonable size

| I think in a World Cup year, the RFL want to play it on the safe side, which is understandable. Sending thousand if Wigan fans down south, who will be buying up a lot of WC tickets, may stretch the finances too far. London WC fans probably won't watch the Broncos.
It's unfair on the neutral stakes, but I can see why they've opted for it.

6k of them turned out at Widnes at the last minute for a first round playoff game. I imagine plenty more would travel to a neighbour town for a CC semifinal.

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

WTF
We have been told that the RLWC has already made money. Are you suggesting that the removal of a neutral ground for this game is now about maximizing profit?
Shame on the RFL ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)
