Let's play all semi final games at one stadium. Double header! Probley be better atmosphere between fans and attract better attendance. Dont know what venue tho.

Wouldn't mind that. Been saying it for years. TV scheduling will have the final say though. Will the BBC want two games on the trot?

It could be played anytime let bbc make the choice I'm sure they could fit it in. Does sky show one of them tho? If it wasn't for tv it would probley of happend by now.

Ok then the Grand Final.

Now that's a good idea. Only thing is, the RFL would probably want it at Cardiff, or Edinburgh, or God forbid, Wembley.

Any fixture involving Leeds will be played in Yorkshire.

Wigan v Wire would be played at Langtree.

Any fixture involving Catalans would be played at the nearest good stadium to the English teams own home.

It all depends on who plays who in the semis, but potential stadiums should be Galpharm, HJ, DW (now the football season has finished anyway...), LP..etc

Not sure on a double-header really as I think it would harm the atmosphere and I feel it would affect crowd numbers of the 4 teams. Unless it is is a London v Catalans semi final (unlikely) as the crowd would be abysmal. Other than that potential outcome I can't see much benefit of having a double-header.

I think a DH would be great, but would need plenty of build up.
Depending on the seating arrangement, the atmosphere wouldn't be that affected.

So as a saints fan If your 1st game in the semi final and you get through to final would you stay to watch let's say wigan play the other game or the team you want to play against or want to lose. Unlike magic weekend where people leave after there game more would want to stay to watch the other outcome and cheer on other teams. Even if you lose the game you might stay to watch you local rivals hopefully mess up aswell.
Would be good day out aswell if in right place after the match aswell as the two finalist teams might want a bit of banter or chat about the upcoming final. That's a few pros there. Can't really find out much negative things.

And I'd put forward Sheffield Utd as a venue that would be a hit. Big city, big modern ground. Would be great, and very attractive for the neutral.

Not sure about it being a modern ground and access is hardly great for supporters from outside of Sheffield.

I suppose not, but I just don't think a DH is necessary unless it is a Catalans v London game.

I think the opposite. I think a double header would likely get more than the combined total of the two semi finals separately, unless it is London vs Catalans, which would get a far better crowd in France as a stand alone.

Nobody seems to have mentioned the RFLs own stadium in Bradford.

I know that Leigh sports Village was in contention last year. This year - maybe not, with Langtree Park now open and Leigh almost certs to be in the semis...
