Seems a long way to go for two towns so close together.

Bolton would be the best venue.

Ron, you have already embarrassed yourself this week with your comments. You think you would learn.

Did anyone else notice the bowl within a bowl that they drew it from ? to ensure a lancs /yorks final.

no......other one will be at Galpharm.........ours will be this side of the pennines.

whats the capacity at Wrexham?

good chance to show that part of the world what the sports really about

Doing it the hard way will be the most rewarding if we manage to get to Wembley.

Play it at deepdale.

Leeds v Cas - Doncaster

Was thinking Bolton as a good option myself however i would prefer them to stage this at a rl stadium so it will be Warrington i think with the other game at Hudds.

Wonder whether the wire public will be 'saints for a day...........'

Good shout.

Decent sized ground.

Bolton have a home friendly on the Friday so may be free. CoM would be too big surely? Think they'll stick us in HJ but that's probably too small.

City of Manchester Stadium....




Or Etihad Stadium.



Whatever its ing called.

I'd be looking at City of Manchester, Anfield, Goodison or Reebok if the others aren't available.

Nothing else big enough in the area.

(Discounted Old Trafford as Slur Alex would cry into his whiskey if they had to host 2 games in a season)

Wrexham isnt big enough coz parts of the ground are closed. Id love it to be at reebok stadium. Bolton have a friendly there on the friday tho and a family fun day on the saturday iirc.

I will be surprised if its not at the HJ...

Capacity is 13000... so Wigan will get 6500 tickets

What a farce when we have over 10000 season ticket holders!

After thinking about it im extremely happy with this. As has been said before we have that big game mentality this year.

This is as big as they come. Much bigger than the Wire game.

If we had gone in against Cas or Leeds I dont think we would have that mentality as shown when we've played Leeds and Cas both times this year.

PS lets just play it at the DW like we did in WCC, we're Wigan Rugby - we do what we want

Garty would be seeing £££ signs

Deepdale perhaps?

preston are at home on the saturday

rebocks free unless bolton have a friendly

Deepdale holds 20,000 so 10,000 each and is a 30minute drive away.

Perfect.

Good shout, especially with the ML connections.

23k capacity.

which is ridiculous when we get 20,000+ for league games.

need a 25,000 capacity stadium at bare minumum

I hope so! Selling out the reebok would great and look awesome for the game with it on bbc too.

Wrexham is big enough, cos not so many stains fans went last time they were there, so they dont know the way.

Sunday could be a goer then.

Seems ideal to me.

Saints can't get 10K at home.

The game will be played at the HJ Warrington.

Deepdale 23,408 didn't realise it was that big. ten minutes on train from Wigan sounds ideal. Get Maurice on the phone.
That said, I'm sure they'll take the attendance at Widnes on June 17th into account and thus dump us back in Warrington.
