Out of interest, what is a proper price? How little do supporters value a semi-final of the Challenge Cup? How many other sports devalue their semi finals with mass discounting?

I know Wire won the coin toss but it was ridiculously daft not to just say "look, wear your green and red kit." It's not like they won the honour of wearing their home kit due to a higher league placing, just a random coin toss.

Gary Carter on Twitter saying Huddersfield and Salford not likely due to various parties not wanting them.

Salford is a logistical nightmare, can't see one being there.

Spotland would do me nicely! To be honest I think the parking/traffic issues at Salford are over exaggerated. It's far from ideal currently but name me a place that is when you have 10,000 or so people leaving at once!

I agree it is over exaggerated but there is a definite problem. Personally, I'd avoid it when possible because there's plenty alternative venues that could do the job.

What about a double header at the reebok?

Football stadiums are not being considered, I assume due to the championship season starting that weekend.

What about having to wait till august for the semis barmy put them back to the final in may for god sake

I agree its crazy to wait til August for the Semi's, even if they moved them back 2 weeks they'd have a much better choice of grounds available, and more time for the winning teams to sell final tickets and for fans to book hotels and transport. The way it is set up now teams barely have time to get tickets out to their season ticket holders/regular fans never mind sell corporate seats and attract 'new' fans.

Psychological battle mate, those are the one percent-ers.

What was ridiculously daft was Leeds over 12 month before having both kits yellow and blue and the Rfl signing off on it.

We've tried that in the past, same shirt but colours alternated, Rfl told us they're not significantly different, go change it.

If football grounds are not being considered... then you're gonna have to look at Wire v Leeds at Leigh.... and Widnes v Cas at Headingley.

Your'e right.

I apologise for suggesting it was Wire's fault. Leeds screwed up that year.

When the teams walked out. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Even Manchester United change to white or black shorts or socks, if there's a colour clash in the lower half of the kit. Maybe I'm extraordinary sensitive to colour, and believe the RFL could be more versatile with how things are presented.

But there was a precedence. The RFL made Bradford design an entire new kit - when both their home & away kits clashed with our garbage "spiderman" kit of 1997.

Arguably Leeds' 'clashing kit' in the 2010 final cost them in the game. Ryan Atkins scored from a Chris Riley pass after a Leeds bomb that probably bounced forward off Mathers, neither ref nor crowd could tell as all the players in the melee to catch the ball were in yellow and blue.

I also heard that Wire offered to play in their away kit but the RFL would not allow it as 'rules is rules' an dWire came out of the draw first as the 'home side'.

DW or Langtree over Leigh!

Langtree is a good call... I agree... would be better than Leigh.

DW however would be classed as a football ground.

I'd use LSV (Wire & Leeds) & HJ (Widnes & Cas). Modern stadia and not too big which would have the opportunity to sell out.

I'll expect us to have to travel to Odsal though, & Cas to Leigh.

Details to be confirmed. If as rumoured it's Cas-Widnes at Leigh on the Sunday then it clashes with our home game against Featherstone. Genius.

You lot will have to shift and play fev Friday night, much to the dismay of the rovers fans.

Wouldn't be too pleased with it myself either. Play the game at Leigh on the Saturday and the other one at the Sunday and then no fixtures are affected. Not exactly rocket science.

Wire v Leeds is the Saturday game at Langtree Park. The logical choice.

Good tie for Wire that, they have a decent record at Langtree, were as it's not been the best hunting ground for Leeds.

9k tickets to each side??

I think the record is down to the opposition, not the ground!

Cas v Widnes at Doncaster
Leeds v Wire at Saints

One each side of the Pennines would have been good, I would go to Donny as a neutral.

will be surprised if we take more than 5k.I would go for 10-12k max.
