fair enough, I suppose they are keeping the side free and the upper tier behind the goal if more tickets are needed for both clubs

At a guess theres about 16k seats on offer, should be ok, open the upper side if it sells well we'll need about 8 or 9k. They as proved yesterday have 6000 fans

Ok, but this season the only thing that's kept our attendance down is the away support, we generally have a core of 10k regular but travelling ranges between 1700 and 3500, obviously i'd expect more for a semi but i reckon at the absolute top estimate we'll bring 8k.

Shouldn't be an issue getting more tickets if needed. But we all know what West Yorkshire police are like

I think that after the flak they've caught over the City fiasco, they'll be keeping a relatively low profile for this one.

I'm sure if this hot weather continues I don't think the players will agree with you!

not sure about the 6pm K/O, makes it a problem for me from Worcester and for people with young kids etc.

I thought we were a family game?

Leigh is practically a home game for Wigan too.

Fooking take.
We are the fans who have to do the travelling.
Predictable.

Hull - Huddersfield = 72.3 miles
Warrington - Huddersfield = 43.8 miles
Widnes - Leigh = 17.9 miles
Wigan - Leigh = 7.7 miles

We were in the bar in Perpignan on Saturday after the game, and I said we'd end up with Wire at Huddersfield, didn't expect it to be a Sunday night.

Assume it will be on BBC2 as well, they wont move Sunday early evening programming, will they?

TBF you'd think that they have to plan a potential plus 15k stadium for our game. Who does it leave, Saints, Wigan, Leeds, Hudds. Hudds was always going to be the fairest.

Leigh is the right size for the Wigan game against London BUT, Leigh is actually part of the Wigan Borough and the transport links are terrible, there's no train link to Leigh, not sure there's a bus to the stadium. They should have taken London's fans in to account, i know there's not many but still, Salford and HJ would have been an easier options, especially Wire being on the main train link to London.

When I travel away its usually in car but im going to have to go on coach this time , does anyone know which are the best places for coach info ?? Thanks

Don't have an issue with us playing at Huddersfield, was expected, but Wigan playing in Leigh is a joke, why not Doncaster, much better transport links to London.

Ps is anyone giving widnes a chance tonight ?

Would have prefered a Saturday afternoon kick off, Sunday 6pm is not ideal for reasons already stated.

Still, we are in a Challenge Cup semi final so happy days

You've had 9,000 and 12,000 twice (one of them against Wigan) as attendances for your last 3 semi's.

Yes

Little and No

The Wigan attendance was down to them buying so little, we vastly outnumbered them, they all bought tickets for the final instead they were so sure they'd win. The other i think was Catalan, enough said.

I forgot London - Leigh = 200 miles.

Just saying you've hardly been having to break the doors down for your recent semi's.
15,000 capacity would have been more than adequate for our game.

10,000 of us 5,000 of you.

You think, i think Hull are going to be well up for this, but i did say myself a rough figure if what you quoted, i think at a push though you could hit 17-18k

Think we got around the 17,000 mark for our last semi at the Galpharm.
Obviously that was against Saints who are a lot bigger club than yourselves.

I'd liked to have seen the whole stand open rather than the lousy bottom tier .

you brought about 100 to the KC this season

A combination of terrible weather, ticket prices and it being a Sky game all the way over to Hull, that was always going to happen, we rarely take a good following to Hull. Don't get me wrong i'm not making out we're über fans, but we do have a decent bunch of away follows.
This isn't technically an away fixture though, it's a neutral fixture which is different.

Both Hull clubs i feel have the best following for an away match.. No questions about it. Regarding our fixture with Warrington, i reckon maybe 15K-19K will be there with us out numbering Warrington maybe 2/1
