It was at the Halliwell-Jones, ironically. Can't see a result like that this time though. My Dilemma now is trying to split myself in two so that I can be at both Widnes/Leigh & in South Wales for the Scorpions home game that kicks off at the same time.

Latest information is that it has been (unoffically) confirmed the semi final will be held at Widnes.

Joy! We won our semi v wigan there last year and as said earlier only 10 mins on the train! Come on the wires!

Why not increase the number of punters and play the game at Wire? Give Catalans the home dressing room to make it "fair", don't see what a 10 minute detour for the Wire fans does to make this a neutral venue.

Personally, I think the RFL are missing a trick here if the semi is in Widnes. I'd say it would do the game as a whole a lot more good if the match was held in Barcelona. This might be unfair to Wire fans, but consider the 18k+ that turned up for the last Wire-Cats match in Barca.

Catalans currently have reduced capacity due to stadium refurbishment and the club will be putting all focus on the Cup now that it seems clear that they probably won't make the play offs. If you have less fans able to attend home matches and the match held in the Catalunyan capital for their biggest game of their season I reckon they could get a massive crowd.

If the game was held in the smaller of the Nou Camp stadiums, which is a more appropriate size than the Olympic stadium, and strike a deal with FC Barca fans getting cheap tickets, playing on the fact that the Les Cats team that made it to Wembley were paraded at a football match, I reckon a good crowd is a dead cert.

It would also look fantastic on national television if RL could show how progressive they are by having a big game with a big crowd in a big Spanish city. Also, having 15k+ 'home' fans would look brilliant, very different and exciting to what we usually see of RL on the BBC.

Also, Les Cats might be struggling for form due to injuries, but the game isn't for nine weeks yet. Plenty of time for players to get fit and put in a massive performance.

Good luck!

All good points, but Wakefield aren't in the Semi-Final!

That they aren't, what's your point?
