The only problem will be if we are given behind the goals. Leeds fans will be massed on the half way line shouting at the ref for forward passes etc the ref will bottle it and decisions will go in there favour.
If there is no segregating fans wire must get fans down the side of the pitch also it will lift the team

not true.only the last few times we have faced teams from over the hill have we had the game over our way.before that we had to put up with:
1993 widnes at central park
1994 saints at central park
2001 saints at the jjb
2002 saints at the jjb
fwiw I would say salford would be the suitable and fair venue.

24554.jpg The Wire - It's Time To Believe
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with the twists and turns,
AS everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up through the pace seems slow.
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
that you must not quit.
NOW THE WIRE!:24554.jpg |

100 times better than Odsal. Leeds played Cas there a few seasons ago in a semi and filled it up nice new"covered" stadium with new modern facilities.

My lad was a mascot for England there a few years ago, granted it was a night-time game but hell of a journey and don't remember it being anything special but hay each to there's and all that, much prefer Odsal

True, but it's not that easy to get to compared to all the other options.

Gerrum on side ref: |
|
| Am I missing the point here, but as I see it, we have 2 games involving teams from either side of the Pennines? In the interest of fairness, I'd say play one game in Yorkshire and one game this side of t'hill.
How about Castleford v Widnes at Headingley and Leeds v Wire at Langtree Park? Both are neutral venues, one game on either side of t'hill. Widnes to Leeds is one and a half hours over the M62 and Leeds to St Helens is about the same distance over the M62. What can be so difficult with the above venues? Huddersfield is not available, we cannot play our semi against Leeds at Headingley because it needs to be on a neutral ground, so where else do we have in Yorkshire? Odsal and some people mention Doncaster, but Odsal Stadium as about as much atmosphere as the moon and Doncaster is not a place that I want to rush to visit and I'm sure a lot of other fans feel the same way. We have one semi-final that would be ideal for Headingley and another one for Langtree Park, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that one out.
No doubt in the RFL's wisdom, they'll probably send us to the KC Stadium and play Widnes v Castleford at Blackpool.
Rant over.

| Oldham and Rochdale for me. A few people may end up locked out but that's not necessarily a bad thing, will do the game the world of good to see the sold out signs up again.
