2004 aye. In fact it was the exact same draw then with Wigan v Wire at Widnes.

would have thought RFL would want one semi in yorkshire, the huddersfield semi is the obvious choice.
what do you reckon, about an hour and half, hour 40mins from st helens to doncaster?

Would probably take above an hour for Huddersfield to get there as well and, with few neutrals from the local area, I can't see that one. Only reason it was so well-attended at Donny last year is because of Wakefield's proximity to the M1 and, well, nowhere's near Hull

Again, in 2004 there weren't any Yorkshire semi finals - they just haven't got the 12-18k sort of grounds that you need for the semi finals.

The att in 2004 for the same fixture was 11,175
so with the capacity at Widnes now being 14k it meant be a good bet it will be there

I think itll be at Widnes.

Yes they did, but I think they'll take one to Yorkshire this time.

Headingley for me with a 12/13k crowd likely.

Shudds v stains @ Dire or leeds
Wigan v dire @ Widnes or yorkshire

Take your pick one in Lancs & the other in Yorkyland

Wigan V Stains Final - ???? Remember 1989 the 27 - 0 final, bring back




Can you see the Fat Man

Its the biggest game of both clubs for years and who knows the next chance either team will be this close to Wembley?

The RFL should grow some stones and market the game and go for a big crowd rather than rely on the die hards and play it safe at Widnes which is easy.

With sweet revenge we got our fill !

Wigan 29 St Helens Nil!

Double Header at City of Manchester anyone?

yes please

Awesome idea that is.

It is.....you could treble header it MM style and have another outstanding SL fixture that weekend.

The RFL would make a mint and so would Manchester.

Its the Eng v Aus Ashes test at Headingley the same weekend as the semis so there's no chance of it being there.
