but this is the rfl, they would rather have smaller full stadiums with some fans missing out, even new fans than playing at huddersfield or leeds and having an empty stand

(apart from last seasons wire v kr) few previous semi finals have been at leigh or salford??

common sense prevails both games should be at them venues

May be for the wire v wakey game but not ours, can see 17-18k for ours

hope so, still dont think the pies will travel in massive numbers, 4000-5000 at best if at donny on friday night

If the rfl have any sense (which we all no the dont have an ounce lol) our game will be the Saturday

Not disrespectful at all, your game is biggest of the two all day long, I still say Saturday at Headingly.

This is how sky bet have it.

Wire 6/4
Wigan 2/1
Hull 5/2
Wakefield 10/1

I like us flying under the radar

Hope it's at Headingley, we'd turn it into a home game.

I was a bit worried about the venue, Wakey chairman has said on twitter he would of bit your hand off if someone had offered him Wire in the semi's at Leigh on a Friday night, so presuming we will be at Donny on the Saturday? It holds 15k the attendance v Wakey in the semi in 08 was 14,716. I think we have 6k pass holders and we just took well over 4k to Cas just hope nobody misses out.

I'm from Donny and was at the semi final between Hull and Wakey and it wasn't a sell out. 15500 capacity and I can't see Wigan bringing enough to make or one. Plus if they were losing with 10 minutes to go their seats would be empty lol

As someone that lives in Cheshire I don't disagree that Lancashire is a cesspit but deeply offended you categorised us with Merseyside and Lancashire

See Wane having a Little dig your favourites because he hasn't got 10 NRL players just 10 Wigan lads but he's going to give it a go

In the end it is about the results not what comments are thrown backwards and forwards. If we win then I will just stick two fingers up at Wane! Haha



Besides which we have just as many hull boys so he can bake his words into a pie and eat them

Twelve academy produced Wigan players in the side today, and only two overseas players.
Do you want to have a rethink?

IF

Will beat them to progress to Wembley for hopefully my dream match against Warrington. Have seen Hull play Wakefield at Wembley.

Don't think we have ever played Wigan in a Challenge Cup semi.

I didn't say Wigan didn't have a load of Wigan born players now did I? I am just saying that we have 17 hull born lads in our squad, something people seem to be overlooking a little.

Also I forgot about Matongo so I will count him as well, although he was born in Zimbabwe he is still an academy product so 18 Hull boys/academy boys.

Just who are our 10 nrl players??

Talanoa
Fonua
Michaels
Tuimavave
Frank
Manu
Mini

Is he counting Ellis in that list? Or Naughton? Maybe Motu Tony as well....

They have Tomkins, Sarginson (off to gold Coast so should count him), Mossop, Tautai, Gelling....so they're not far behind. Frank Paul may even be here for them by then!

I hope we f**king smash 'em!

Doncaster or Huddersfield would be fine. Atmosphere at Donny in 2008, when you could literally feel the stand bouncing, was fantastic.

We definitely go into the semi as underdogs. wigan will have plenty of their missing players back by then and maybe nuuasala available. Tough ask but we need to beat the best if we're going to win anything

Don't forget Anthony Minichiello

Hull vs Warrington in 2013 at Hudds only got just over 10k, so you can see why the RFL, is thinking of using Donny.

If all members buy a ticket then it would only leave around 1000 for general sale (for both clubs).

Glad I've got a pass, Baldy can I borrow yours?

The difference is this year we are flying yesterdays attendance was all our fans apart from 10-20 or so Catalan so I can see us taking loads to the semi

kids were free yesterday, adults only £13 and it was in Hull. I doubt we'd take that many to a semi. There is this gnashing of teeth every year about semi final venues and they never sell out. For me, hudds makes more sense than donny for us v the pies though. Considerably closer to wigan than doncaster and not really significantly further for us

I get what your saying I can't see the rfl making Wigan travel all the way to Donny lol
