You just used "logical" and "RFL" in the same sentence.

With only 3 possible combinations, of course it would be logical.

Doubt they will play it at football stadium, season starts the same weekend as the semi final :/

Quote: (Saint) "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.'" FFS!! 42 miles from wigan maps.google.com/maps?q=wigan+to+ ... ddersfield 46 miles from St Helens maps.google.com/maps?q=sthelenst ... ddersfield I drive nearly as far to work every day!!!! And we wonder why RL doesnt get the respect and support we deserve with small minded fans like this.

We'll take about 8-9k, Stains well?

i understand what you're saying gerr'emonside, but the RFL have a duty to the sport to make it accessible. The sports council demand that, and they're doing it with the "pay to play" game. But if they make a decision to play a game between Wigan & St Helens 40+ miles away from the towns, it's not making it accessible.

Regardless of distance, 46miles is 92miles return journey, which is a lot of petrol and a huge cost on top of what we know will be stupidly priced tickets.... We're in harsh financial times, and ultimately people have families to feed.

yeah it dosnt start the same day, but there not gonna play a rugby game on a pitch they have been preparing for 6 months 5 days before the season starts are they?

Exactly. Most of us (and most Saints posters) will go, but we're not representative of the average fan.

Driving is all very well, but I normally go by train (so I can drink!), and it's 10 minutes v 1.5 hours (+ at least one change).

If there was no option, fair enough, but the HJ is perfectly feasible.

very true mate.....and i doubt they need the money

SUrely they would have worked out the permutations before the results of todays games? Oh hang on its the RFL and ive had 1st hand knowledge of how amateur these muppets are....

Surely this was sorted out 9 weeks ago with QF draw, there are only a few permutations, Cas v Hudds Yorkshire winner, Hull v Leeds Yorkshire winner, Wire v Wigan non Yorkshire winner, Saints v Hull KR either or.
Doubt you can go to Football club, er we want to play rugby on your pitch in 2 weeks thanks.

At the risk of getting shot down in cold custard for saying this - what would be wrong with sending our game to Leigh Sports Village ground?
