| Unfortunately I think you are overestimating the quality of the ground. At present there is a stand which holds about 300. I am not sure whether the roof has been put on it as yet as this was delayed by the awful winter weather. There is a fence round the pitch and if you are not in the stand you would be standing at that. There is no terracing.
It will be a real shame if the tie is switched but I think it would be difficult for Hemel to rent another ground at short notice suitable for the tie without it costing an arm and a leg.
Unfortunately the truth is that the tie has probably come too early in their life as a semi-pro club

That's the spirit, I'm sure you'll be made very welcome. Not sure why it's deemed impossible to stage it at Hemel, just because we're currently a SL side doesn't mean we expect special treatment and we'd be more than happy at Hemel. In fact I'm gutted we're not coming.
I don't think Belle Vue will do you any favours at all, it's a massive playing surface and that will only give us another advantage.

| We simply do not come up to RFL minimum standards for games involving SL clubs. I know we will be warmly welcomed at Belle Vue (although I was a Dons lad I used to watch Wakey as well)
BTW we play at our best on big flat pitches

I'd be interested to understand why the RFL think a SL side needs a higher standard of facility? Sport is 17 men against 17 men, and if Hemel have been accepted into the competition and indeed the professional ranks, then that's enough as far as I'm concerned.
I'm really disappointed at this. Hope it's a good day for Hemel, and that the revenue is used wisely.

If you like big flat pitches we ought to move the game to Odsal, just so we have an advantage

That's a good shout, an iconic neutral venue owned by the RFL.
