So glad thats its sunday. I was working the Saturday and I couldn't get it of!

Not sure if people know or care, but the BBC have a weekend of Athletics from the Olympic stadium next weekend which may well explain the ko times. Its the anniversary games and something I am sure will capture the nations imagination more than RL cup semis. As sad as that may seem it is I am afraid the truth.

Glad you guys got the game at Huddersfield, London weren't so lucky having to go to the neutral venue of Leigh Sports Village. Practically a home tie for either Wigan (probable) or Widnes. The least they could have done is make those 2 teams travel more than 5 mins up the road, but as the RFL would say "that wouldn't be fair on Wigan".

Terrible ko time I hope both clubs complain and try and get it changed.

Wouldn't say it was so bad. If hot it's cooled down by then. People settling down as a tv audience if been out and game will finish before 8 n kids off. Will breeze home that time of day on a Sunday.

that's a shocker, i know wigan have rfl favouritism most of the time, but this is being done just to guarantee wigan fans turn up in numbers, rather than have it at a sensible location like doncaster which at least is on a main line rail route from the capital. the rfl are frightened having the semi too faraway from wigan will result in a low crowd

I be worried about some fans drinking too much and spoiling the day for others, im suprised the police have allowed this. Also bad times for getting back on the train.

looking at the wire forum, they have been allocated the end the away fans usually go in plus half of one of the sides, looks like we will have the other half of this stand plus the other end (the two tiered end) Wasn't this the end we had when we beat saints in 2005?

also wonder if one of the sides will be fully closed like they did once before

They aren't opening either of the upper tiers

I'd have thought your top of the table battle yesterday would have pulled a big crowd. good Udders turn out though

hope all your 6k get to the semi or it'll be 3 to 1 Hull

The thing that I don't understand is, if the semi-finals are to be played at 5.00 and 6.00 UK time (for no apparent reason), why was a quarter final played at 4.00 in the baking heat in France? Was it just the BBC?

Being out numbered in fans doesn't bother me, never has never will, fill it full of Hull fans for all i care. If Hull didn't out number us i'd be very surprised, like i said 60-40 in Hull favour is what i'd expect.
The who has the most away fans p-ssing contest is between you and KR.

Think wire fans can be guilty of over egging their traveling support at times, some make out the whole population of warrington go to catalan

It Catalan themselves that said we had the most travelling fans, not us.

I'd say of the clubs with more home support there are only Leeds who we beat on away support, not that it matters, in truth though i wish clubs/fans were in a position in which the away allocation always sold out.

As someone has already mentioned the 6pm kick off is a slight worry. Wouldn't surprise me if the Police shut all the pubs given they're reputation for over kill towards sports teams from this area.
