Ouch, and the Leigh lot seemed positive that they were hosting.

Not sure who i would want to win. I expect this to be Leighs only chance as i doubt they will get to the Grand Final.

I'd like Leigh to win it. They deserve a shot at handing in an application. Have you seen their stadium? It's bloody fantastic and yet 2 Super League clubs playing out of sheds wil still get a license ahead of them.

I personally would only like Widnes to win and then either Widnes, us or Barrow to win the grand final, because we need to limit the number of teams that are eligible to apply for the next round of licences.

have got the england france game so should not be greedy.

Ah yes, slipped my mind. Well they're not really missing out then on hosting. How many does the LSV hold?

I bet the RFL would have winced at a Keighley/Batley final.

Could have played it at Ovenden Park and still not filled the ground.

12,700 - I said all along that the Galpharm and Widnes would host the semi's but no bugger listened

Gotta be a widnes win - one less applying for a licence.

Hats off to the RFL for creating a competition where it doesnt matter if you win something, you just hope not so many other clubs do.

Genius stroke that

I'd rather the RFL be presented with another headache of another club with a spanking brand new stadium applying. The more ridiculous we can all make the licensing process look, the better it will be for all in future.

One less club applying for a license isn't going to affect Fax in 2012 because it's only Widnes who are going up anyway IMHO.

Not really interested after our farce of a knockout, another fantastic opportunity wasted when you see the teams in the last 4, its one day Id love to sample.

Whoever wins on the day, we all know Widnes and Toulouse are getting the places in SL anyway...

Batley will turn Leigh over

Having now been to the LSV, i think if Leigh tick that box they will go straight ahead of us to get a license. While i think neither of us will, i'd still rather be a bitter git and want Widnes to win it and give us a little hope to be honest.



Keighley and Batley will both give them a run for their money in the Semi's though definitely

me too. long time since been to watch fax in a k.o. final. fax made big mess in both cups this time.

As you guys don't have a game on Sunday the 20th June why don't you come down and support your neighbours Keighley against Widnes it will be a great atmosphere and if we have your support then who knows what can happen.

For more info see keighleycougars.com

Thanks, Helen

If your club promote the game, there's no reason why you can't attract the same support that Batley did last week against Le Cats.
Good luck with it..

I hope you are right, and that the Cougars get past Widnes

That would make a refreshing final as opposed to some of the 'regular teams'

Widnes, yes but Toulouse? Having very publically stated that Toulouse MUST make the GF to even be elligible to apply surely even the joke that is the RFL would not have the audacity to renege on that ...... or would they?



On top of which, attendances at Toulouse are half what they were last season (although those published last season I felt should be filed under fiction anyway).

Nothing the RFL ever do surprises me anymore

hope you put money on it too.

Unfortunately not but a trip to Blackpool will more than make up for it
