Salford was the obvious choice because it's as close to being in the middle of the two towns as you can get without playing at Stalybridge Celtic's ground.

Because its a modern stadium & between us & Huddersfield

As has been said before by some on here, no ambition by the RFL in the venue choice resulted in a 1 ticket per ST holder policy. Some non ST holders will not/not be able to go because they cannot be with their ST holder friends or family. As an example, my wife (no Season ticket) wanted to go but she couldn't get a ticket at the same time as me and my Son so hence won't be going. The only option for us was to wait until they went on general sale and to buy seated tickets but there was a risk that they could of sold out by that time (Plus we wanted to stand). There are a number of people in the same situation. So it's entirely possible that we could end up with 9-10k in a 12 k stadium where we could have had 13-14k in an 18k stadium (Langtree Park). I think that one of the reasons for this policy is to have a full/nearly full venue for the TV screens. Is that really more important than getting as many bums on seats as possible?

A sign of the times that a CC semi final is not considered a big game for the Wire !!

I had my ticket on day of release - not missing occasions like these, glory days

After visiting the ground tonight thank God I've got a seat for the semi.

2,500 tickets sold for terracing behind the sticks looks like a bit of a squeeze to me.

Sardines comes to mind

whats the allocation for both sides because i cant see hudds bringing more than a couple of thousand

Is Anybody taking a DRUM????

Let's hope not.
