some bloke in the pub this afternoon mumbled it could be played in blackpool bloomfield rd...hmmmm i wonder

Had he had a few ?

yep heard the same thing myself les,can see nal al now on the big one with his wire flags all draping behind him...

widnes or leigh but likely to be at widnes again

where ever it is at were gonna win and fill everysingle seat

I'm still not expecting an official announcement until after the international at LSV. If it goes well then LSV, it the organisation etc is pants then Widnes.

Its a joke. I just want to be able to get my tickets sorted at the earliest opportunity. But hey, if this is the price we have to pay for making the big games then we will all just have to wait.

Seriously, has it been confirmed anywhere officially yet? can't find anywhere on the net!

The only place I can find it is on Sky Text where it's confirmed as Widnes.

Am I missing something as I haven't seen anywhere 'official' on the venue of the semis!

NOT confirmed yet officially. Leeds have their game against Saints down on their website as being held at the Galpharm. Can only think there is some issue over the Wolves venue. Personally I'm expecting confirmation next weekend AFTER the international.

On what map at the RFL does it show Widnes as being neutral between Warrington (7 miles) and Perpignan (1020 miles)?

Why not just have it at the HJ, let Tony ref and maybe have Simon Moran as the video ref!!!

At least not many wire fans will go as you are saving your money for the inflated prices in London eh!

Remember you were 10th last year and big underdogs against Wigan and then proceeded to do a job on them in great fashion, maybe the roles are reversed this year.

I think you are playing some great stuff at the moment and have a great defence (doesn't Jimmy look after that area for you) but who can say what the next nine weeks will bring, other than more rain...

yawn, oh sorry i must have nodded off after reading this utter twaddle

It has mate its at Widnes.

Sorry to admit but el red does have a point to some extent (with the latter part of his post). We can all sit here and expect Wolves to give "bottom of the table" Catalans a mauling but in the cup anything can happen. Last year it become clear that TS and Wolves had set their sights on Cup as play-off qualification was only "a possibility". Catalans have nothing else to play for.

As far as netral ground is concerned. the RFL have to look at the game in total. Whilst playing at a neutral ground somewhere in France might be good for the geographical spread of the game, its gonna be a PR disaster from the point of view of attendance and also the TV images.

When? No announcement from the RFL. Nothing on Wolves website (last info was "waiting for RFL to decide". Comment "confirming" Widnes came from radio commentary at Widnes game and the Sky text saying Widnes but newspapers in France (local to Catalans) are saying they think it will be LSV. Gived that Sporting Life is saying we are playing on the Saturday (load of tosh according to the fixture posting on Leeds wesbite), I'll believe it when I get a ticket with it printed on.
