tbh i could see Wire selling more tickets then us if they were allowed.
They'll be confident of winning this one i reckon and will jump on the bandwagon.
If we can sell near what we sold for the Catalans semi and they could sell something similar then Widnes is nowhere near big enough but then i remember everybody saying that last time.

| That's less than 7k each, the figures don't really add up. If we take at least 9k to a game against catalans, add in extra for local derby and same principle at Warrington = mad rush for tickets!
Where else could they take it though, reebok,jjb are out due to football season. Only ovther place this side of the penines is Saints but they'd not have liked a semi at such an aging ground. I'd have prefered saints though.

| The RFL say the decision will be made as soon as possible this week as soon as they have spoken to all clubs involved.
I presume that means clubs that are in the semi's and the venues they are thinking of going to.

Can you imagine us and wire fans sharing terraces? Never in a million years it'd be a warzone - sadly. It's the only option.
Only options would be other side of the pennines but with the football fixtures not out yet they don't know when the Galpharm would be available I guess.

| If it is indeed at Widnes, it is a travesty, and highlights the total lack of balls that the RFL have at the moment.
What happened to holding semi finals at big stadiums and attracting big crowds like they used to? I would imagine this would actually put people off even trying to get tickets, thinking that they've no chance, so there's no point even trying. You will also get no-one attempting to pay on the door, and therefore no chance of speculative/casual supporters going.

Rubbish. You might get a few idiots, but it's hardly like Afghanistan, is it?
In any case, if people want a fight, then they'll fight inside or outside the ground.
I suppose at least if it's outside, it won't disturb the match and won't look bad on the telly.

I think you'd get quite a few idiots, especially if its a Saturday when the booze flows. Most Saturday games you see an idiot or two being stupid through beer. Theres too many hide away knooks and crannies in that shed rather than a seated stadium.

Surely next seasons football fixtures are done and dusted? I would imagine the RFL were already aware of what grounds are available for all possible semi's before the draw was even made. I would imagine as well that today they will simply be finalising KO times for the Beeb.

| I think Headingley and Hudds are probably the 2 best stadiums for the semis.

August 8th/9th is the kick off to the new season for the football league. Premier League clubs will be having their final pre season games, which for many are big bucks against big european sides.

Reebok is available on the 9th August according to the ground staff takes about 5 hours to change the ground round. So they could hold both on the same day there but think the BBC will want one Saturday and one Sunday

As long as it doesn't have to be an RL stadium - take your pick...
City of Manchester. Old Trafford, even with the top tiers shut. Goodison. Anfield. Ewood Park. Bolton.
