Why are they playing a semi final on a Friday night? Just seems stupid. I know sky will be showing the match but it doesn't do anything to encourage fans of the clubs or neutrals that may fancy watching the game. I hope the tickets are set at a reasonable price as I am now going to have to take time off work.
Quote: meast "i do feel for leeds fans in a way, as with a semi final you want to enjoy the day, it's the occasion rather than just a match, and friday night takes that occasion away for me, i can understand the frustration.
however i don't really feel for leeds in terms of venue, as to my knowledge, they have usually had the benefit of not having far to travel, last year was the first time in 9 years that they had to travel outside of yorkshire for a semi final, Huddersfield on the other hand have only had 1 semi final in yorkshire in the same period, ironically the 2006 semi at odsal, where leeds fans were so cocksure of brushing away the challenge of these upstarts,their fans gave the semi final a miss and splashed out on final tickets instead
Matbe hudds would get more semis in Yorkshire if they got into as many semis as Leeds
I enjoyed the Friday night semi final, the only negative were the road works on the m62 on the way back
The more games on terrestrial TV the better. It would be good if they could get some league games on similar to the first deal the BBC signed for the football league a few years back. Where they got 10 live games.
