No but that was over ten years ago when probably the only choices were Wigan or Huddersfield. We've had some quality venues built since then. That said I think a double header would attract some neutrals as well, if its correctly priced.

London v Catalan at a neutral venue in this country would be lucky to attract 500 spectators.

Play it in France, Toulouse maybe, and you'd get over 10 times that figure.

Tv talks which is why we have the huge gap and the BBC wont go for a double header they like there Sat and Sun game.

I think there is the possibility of a semi-final in France

Sheffield/London vs Catalans - Toulouse
Sheffield/London vs Hull/Huddersfield - Headingley
Sheffield/London/Catalans vs Warrington - Widnes
Sheffield/London/Catalans vs Wigan/Widnes - HJ Stadium

Hull vs Huddersfield - Headingley
Hull vs Warrington/Wigan/Widnes - John Smith's

Huddersfield vs Catalans - Headingley
Huddersfield vs Widnes/Wigan - HJ Stadium
Huddersfield vs Warrington - Widnes

Warrington vs Wigan/Widnes - Langtree Park

Can't see much past these venues being used.

Id suggest a certain Leigh based sports village could be used as well

Leigh will certainly be big enough, no matter who,s there

I doubt Widnes will be used, teams won't want to play on the iPitch.

They managed a two week turnaround between round 5 and the QF last year, with Cats v Wire televised. Semi final crowds have been poor here the past couple of years, take it to somewhere like Avignon and you are guaranteed a big crowd. Great PR too.

Two pages about the Challenge Cup and no demand for "cheap tickets" yet? What the hell is going on?

And Halifax, I believe.

I think we should take one semi to Moscow and the other to New York. Think of the PR and the hundreds of thousands of new people that will be addicted to our game.

You know what, with a little bit of money behind it we could easily get as many in Moscow or New York than we would in Cas or Leigh.

That’s not anything particular in favour of Moscow or New York mind…………

And didn't matter when Saints played leeds and then Bradford at Huddersfield !

You fighting strawmen again? How impressive!

100% agree, move Leigh RLFC to Moscow and Cas Tigers to New York. I predict a year after we do this RL will be the worlds number 1 sport.

now i could happily get behind that.

i miss going to fax

I predict the game will die a death unless we reduce the SL to all teams from West Yorkshire.

North Stand refurbishment should apparently be finished for the Northern Rail Cup Final on July 20th so it will have four operational stands as well for the first time in, well, ever?!

Do [iyou[/i even know what you're on about now? Because no-one else does.

Get yourself over for the Northern Rail Cup final in a couple of weeks, tickets start from £15!

I do. His point is as valid as anyone else's. It may not fit the criteria the PC lot snipe at but valid just the
same.

He may have a valid point if he actually made one. So far all he's done is make himself look silly. By the way, not all points of view and opinions are equally valid.

Would you mind telling us what his point is then since he seems unable to?

In your opinion. Apologies I didn't realise you were part of Rlfans admin team and actually decided the rules
of posting in this forum. Silly me.
