They should draw the venue out as well imo. Both team picks a venue (not allowed to pick home stadium) and whichever gets drawn out is where its played.

Don't the RFL now own Odsal, it would make a change for us to visit there in the middle of Summer rather than when its freezing cold!
It'll also give the Bradford fans something to watch, now that their 10 minute dynasty has faded as fast as Paul-Hunter-Mariners understanding of the rules.

Elland Road Anyone?

For a double-header, yes.

Nah, Reebok for that

Salford would suit me for our game.

We took around 7k to the semi-final last year.... if we took that again and Leeds the same, it would be too small.

It's vaguely in the middle of both clubs, capacity is about right and it's not in Yorkshire. Ideal venue imo.

I would rather have it at Langtree. Was a cracking atmosphere when we went on GF. I'm sure we could fill whichever terrace we get.

I love having the RFL in our back pockets

10k isn't big enough, though if their future planned capacity increase goes ahead as planned, then yeah, I'd agree.

I'd prefer Doncaster if it has to be played in Yorkshire.

Bramall Lane would be superb for me!

Shevington Recreation Ground please

Why play in Yorkshire?
Trailer Park, we have a good record there

Infact 100%

I hope it's either at the Galpharm or at Langtree park

If this tie doesn't draw a 15,000 plus crowd and wherever it's played then IMO the CC cup is well down the pecking order and is not the competition it once was

We only got 12.5k against Saints last year, and the HJ was a lot easier for both sets of fans to get to than wherever this one gets played. OK, Leeds are better supported than the scousers, but I can't see it being much better attended.

HJ is probably the best venue for the Wigan game

Crowd will be 13k MAX, it's easy to get to both by car and train for both sets of fans.

Hudds ground in my opinion but hoping for somewhere in Lancashire...

Weren't leeds drawn out first? if so, then the tie should be played in yorkshire. Same with the Wire Hudds game.

That's what i thought, usually there is some advantage to being drawn out first in this case it should be offer them a selection of venues other than their home stadium and let them pick it

Let them have it at Headingley, I don't remember loosing there to often. Be interesting to know what our win/loss record there in the last few years is... Bilko?

Last 12 games show 6-5 in our favour, with one draw.

We have the best recent record though with 2 wins and a draw in the last 3 games. The last time we got beat there was only from a last minute try as well.

We had a dry spell but overall we do pretty well there. We have had some fantastic wins there, the best probably being the play-off wins in 2003 and 2010.

It won't be played at Leeds though, I just got all giddy using Bilko's website for research

you mean Wire playing in their home county?..........nailed on.........Widnes
