| Any SL ground would suffice, and some championship ones too.

| It would sum 2020 up if it were to be held at Odsal.

| What does it matter as there will be no spectators, and better than putting money into a football clubs pocket.

Couldn't agree more.
New build stadium, neutral venue and less than an hours drive for any likely finalists. Sadly, capacity and transport links don't matter this year.

You really are the gift that keeps on giving, aren't you? Just jog on back to Redvee with all the other strange people.

A completely empty Old Trafford stadium does nothing to "sell" the game.
We/'ve already watched a great Cup Final in an empty Wembley Stadium, it didn't exactly "elevate" the event did it ?

| Why don't the RFL try and raise some funds for a very worth charity (Rob Burrow's MND one for example) and you can pay a fee to have your photograph in one of the seats, like a lot of football clubs have done, and it would look slightly better than loads of empty seats, while at the same time raising quite a bit of cash for a charity....whichever ground it might be held in.

| The obvious choice is to play the game in France, we can have spectators at the game and it gives something back to the fan base out there. Yes teams will have to travel and it may disrupt preparations a little but if the the RFL want to turn the crisis into an opportunity this would be a good option.

Welcome to the 2020 challenge cup final, live from the mobile rocket stadium.
Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it does it.
Can you imagine the nrl taking their grand final to the mackay stadium?
Can you imagine the fa taking the fa cup final to the king power stadium?
Of course not. Yet you think it’s acceptable for us to devalue ourselves. Which is why we will always be a small time sport

| No problem with it being at Hull, could be anywhere really as long as it has a decent pitch. I liked the France idea, that could have been good, given a bit more publicity, but not sure about the Friday?

Friday night is a decent time for TV viewers and probably means that there is less conflict with Football.
France would be a good idea, if Catalan are involved and there could have even be some supporters allowed in .
Anyway, it matters not.
The KCOM is a cracking ground and just means 30,000 empty seats instead of 70,000.
Looks like the semis will be Saints, Wigan, Wire and then either Leeds or Catalan.
Should be a couple of cracking semis and a decent final.
Will the semis take place at the same ground as a double header or at the home ground of the top 2 clubs.?

| Having it in the Canary islands could have been an option, France would have meant isolating for any travelling fans and players. At least in Canary Islands that's not the case and they have a 32,000 capacity ground (on Gran Canaria) that's big enough for a full sized 100m pitch plus in goal area.
Would have been a fantastic injection to those in the areas that rely on tourism and are on the bones of their .
We can only hope Boris and the rest of his criminals are toppled by a military uprising to stop his genocide and everything gets put back to normal!
