Id be happy if it was played at the stoop tbh as its not really all that far to go. If it was played in Callais or Northen france id go, so a 45 minute car journey or hour and a bit coach journey isnt going to put me off hopefully seeing the boys secure a long awaited 13 year return to Wembley!!'"
I went last last year when we played at Huddersfield agaist Leeds in the semi we didnt take many and it took over 2 hrs to get to the ground and this time everyone coming from the same way |

A soccer friendley at Wembley should have no impact on the crowd. The only people who would watch a soccer friendly over the rugby semi final would only be the part time pub briggade anyway who are city or utd fans. Instead of watching us in the pub sunday afternoon, they'll watch the soccer, resulting in no change to the gate and just a few more mindless soccer morons watching wendyball in the pub over TGG! |

I'd be there if it was in Yorkshire, Lancashire or Romania but I know what the non hardcore fans are like.
We'll take about 7k and they'll take about 5k. Sad but can't see it being much higher. |

If its in Huddersfield then im happier than it being at Wire as at least fans who want to go wont be locked out and it gives RL a better image than playing it in a tin pot lego land - Also Saints Wigan at Wire is just asking for a few hundred Wire C0ckends turning up causing trouble....at least we can go to Huds knowin it will be a top game and day, with no trouble and just some good banter!'"
100% correct. |

Ill be in the pub in huddersfield for 11am  - Us drinkers avoid traffic! 
Even if you turn up for K/O, you shouldn't get stuck in traffic if you have a map. Theres about 10 different routes into Huddersfield so if ones busy just use another one! Never took me more than an hour to Huddersfield including the times Ive gone for GB v NZ/ Aus games where its been a sell out.
Even if you do get stuck in traffic, and it takes you more than 3 hours, while a pain in the ar5e its a small price to pay to turn up for your clubs biggest game of the season thus far! Id walk if it was a toss up between going and not going- If a trip to huddersfield puts you off your not really a supporter IMO. |

Pretty irritating to be expected to go all the way to Huddersfield for this game if the rumours are true.
There are a number of perfectly suitable local venues that other people have suggested. It shouldn't surprise me after all the years of being dragged over to Yorkshire when drawn in semi finals against Leeds, but still disappointed and surprised.

You just used "logical" and "RFL" in the same sentence.
With only 3 possible combinations, of course it would be logical. |
