The 2005 semi against Saints when we demolished the cocky feckers drew 16k, keepmoat capacity is just over 15k.
keepmoat is better located for both sets of fans, especially Hull fans by train, however Hudds ground is better in terms of view.

Last years semi-final was awful with FC fans standing ALL the time throughout the game blocking the view with stewards doing sod all. On top of that backwards and forwards for ale every 5 minutes, we certainly won't be sitting with the plebs this year wherever it is.

A sold out Donny would be the best option imo.

Quote: Tinkerman23 "Go on holiday on the 29th
The dates for the semi finals were announced at the start of the season. Same weekend as the last couple of years at least.

I'm happy to be playing on the Saturday and the Keepmoat is the correct choice of venue. Looking forward to it.

Each to their own, but IMO its a dreadful venue.

Transport links are poor. If you are travelling by train, its a taxi from Donny . Then there is getting back to the train station after the game.

Parking is a joke.

Not enough places for food / drinks before the game.

Slow to get in, even slower service on the concourse once you are in.

Simply not a big enough venue - We played Wakey there in '08 and it was packed to the rafters, last year we took 8-9k there. Its not unreasonable to suggest that, on a Saturday afternoon, we could shift 10k tickets for this. Leeds clearly have a bigger following then most other clubs and IMO could plausible sell 10k tickets for this.

Classic example of small time RFL. They are denying the opportunity for thousands of potential attendees, how can that be good for the game?

It really was. Remember the stadium literally bouncing at the end when Adam Dykes was spraying the home end with champagne. Hi Ho Silver Lining - fabulous afternoon, and Washy had a great game IIRC.

Your pitiful comment is like a 5 year olds, i made a relevant point about fans blocking the view and you went into full on infant school mode.

Thought of asking the fans to sit down?, or speak to the stewards?, or is it easier to moan here?
