Surely the RFL will take into consideration the support of both sets of fans, local rivalry and the fact it is a semi final when choosing a venue. I cant see a problem with the Galpharm stadium being chosen myself and think we will get enough in there to make it worthwhile. Widnes is an obvious choice but is it big enough for the demand for tickets - i'm not sure!!

no it isnt. yes 2004 it was but its well known that rugby league is a bigger and better watched sport now i could be wrong but i think widnes isnt big enough please be the galpharm

one no-one seems to have thought of is

Deepdale- Preston


it's a similar size to JJB (24,000)
it's in Lancashire not to far to travel

Can't believe no-one has thought of this

i know the football seaso is starting around the same time but the rfl could go for somewhere like deepdale, preston. this holds 22,000 and i reckon each team could get 10,000 supporters each, its a semi final and a derby so they arent going to struggle to sell tickets

Here you go Yed.

I think that is a good shout.

It's pretty simple travel wise on the train from both Warrington and Wigan.

Widnes is the venue, 5500 for each club.

If true, that is a joke.
