Quote: gerr'emonside "Hope this is a joke?- If your serious then it just shows how cba and parochial the general RL fan is. Huddersfield is 40 miles tops from wigan,[*] and if you drive you can get from the centre of wigan to parking up near the galpharm in 45-50 minutes!!
Its unbelieveable people complain about this. Soccer took a manchester semi final to Wembley recently which, although its relatively far away, 3 hours in a car is nothing to follow your team to a semi final.
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!!
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.
