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

I'd go with that, considering Hull's isolation way out East you make more of an effort going to clubs than the same clubs do going to you. The crowds too have the 'potential' to go over 15k.

We took more than 5000 to the Huddersfield semi at Salford last season. We had 3/4 of the attendance. It was like a home game with us having 3 sides and Hudds having 1. We took 4000 to Barcelona a few years ago for that game against Catalan at the old Olympic Stadium.

Yeah.
You might have scraped 5 thousand out of that p!ss-poor 9,000 semi-final attendance. (is that the lowest in modern history?). Mind you wasn't it at Salford, a whole 17 miles from Warrington?
I reckon about 4,000 though.
3,000 Giants.
2,000 neutrals and give-aways.

Banging.

I think Hudds took as many to our ground yesterday as they did that semi last year. There was hardly any of them, nowhere near 3000. And you're having a laugh if you think there were 2000 neutrals and give-aways.

On a Sunday and it being a semi final, I don't think distance matters. 17 miles, 75 miles, whatever.

Of not conceding 50?

Will any of them s you have as stewards be making the trip?
