To be fair - a lot of fans boycotted that game on principle. I was nearly one of them but I boycotted Whelan in other ways. |

Yeah didnt think about that. surely you could split one of the stands on the 30/40 metre line though and make it a 50:50 split. |

It's not as simple as splitting the terracing though, you have the concourses/turnstiles to think of.

Hardly a long way to go, try Montpellier. |

| Quote: gerr'emonside "Blackpool would be beltin. Just about the right size for a Cc tie between us - think it holds about 17k and dont think we'll sell more than that - fans just dont turn out for the semis in big numbers like they used to.
Blackpool would be a crackin day out if the suns out too, they prob need the cash after being relegated from the premiership and the RFL have links with them already from the NRC unlike the reebok/ anfield or everton where there hasnt been a recent game of RL there and we would need to re-establish links.
Can see it being wire tho and fans being locked out - typical small mind RFL mentality.'"
The trouble with Blackpool is the stadium is an absolute tip. |

Exactly. Just split the stands for support purposes but we can mingle on the concourses - Gives plenty chance for banter then!  |

I don't mean for fighting, but the health and safety certificate of the stadium limits how much space is needed to clear people in an emergency, turnstile to fan ratio etc.
Shouldn't be much of an issue though. |

That doesn't even make sense. If the stand holds 3k then they'll sell 3k. Whether it's 1.5k each or 2k and 1k what does it matter? |

All I know from Everton is we have to have 1 turnstile per 800 fans in the stand. You can't just split a specific stand at any given point because it compromises the safety of fans getting out. If they need to leave in a fire for instance, there's only a certain amount of people that can get through an exit in a certain time.
I'm not saying they can't split a terraced stand, but it's not as easy as just drawing a line down it and saying Wigan fans to the left, and that lot to the right. |

That's Pretty unfair to Leeds and Cas.
Both Leeds and Cas have had very good wins today to get to the semi final.
Leeds nearly did Wigan at the DW and IMO was the better team abd you recently struggled against Cas.
Saints have a history of getting beat in finals by Leeds who defo have something over saints in finals and we needed to kick a last second goal to best Cas at home this year.
Whoever wins from out semi will be favourite but by no means are certain to win the cup. |
