WELSH RUGBY LEAGUE - PRIDE & PASSION IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36819.jpg



Don't panic it hasn't been decided by anyone yet. icon_smile.gif

There is talk of back to back Challenge Cup semi's at the Millennium Stadium on our site.

Wishful thinking from some I know. I think fans would go for it though if it wasn't for the money problem.

Virtually every fan I have spoken to this year have enjoyed themselves and mention the weekends down at Cardiff they enjoyed previously which meant they came back.

It'd be interesting to hear fans views on here about this.

One semi at 2pm and then one starting at say 4pm which would be doable as the two teams starting at the later kick off warm up next door like they did for MM the last two seasons.

What do you lot reckon?

Would it be considered as a home game for the Crusaders though? icon_wink.gif

Not a bad idea and one that would, again, increase RL's profile in Wales which seems to one of the RFL's aims. Would need to be marketed properly though.

I thought the same. Would it be able to cope with the demand for tickets as well once our Wembley band wagoners jumped on.

I don't think so. icon_wink.gif

I am a huge advocat of having the CC semis as a double-header. Not sure about Millennium Stadium, but if they offer us money again (hint hint Welsh Tourist Board! icon_lol.gif ) I would be strongly for it. Surely a game as big as the semi-finals will bring in a lot of fans if played at somewhere more exciting than bloody Huddersfield! Add that the number of interested locals and could be on.

WTB obviously want the business. I doubt they'll get the same number of fans coming down as MM over the full weekend, but reckon it will be at least as full (if not more full) than either day of MM. I'd not open the top tier, though. Middle and lower tier only. Middle tier reserved, bottom tier unreserved.

If they do it though, announce it now and not after the semi-final draw has been made so neutrals can plan for it!

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



I think that would be great but just maybe not in Cardiff, but have a back to back at another stadium.

I just think there are enough long trips for fans to make atm.
