Like the idea of a double header for the semi finals, however at Cardiff is just silly - firstly, we already have MM, Wembley and Old Trafford, all of which I support BTW, but also the stadium would look empty and what is a long established Rugby League event (rather than a pioneering one like Magic)

Double header at some place like Galfarm is a good idea though.

Don't think this would work at all, especially with the decent opportunity of a national league side or two getting to the semi's. Dumb idea really

too small for 4 teams imo.
That's why I suggested City of Manchester. Think it's around 44,000

Good point, but there are 10 weeks between the quarters and the semis. That's plenty of time to save up money for the semi. And you can guarantee that people will find money for the final should their team get there. It's Wembley!


Questionnaires of fans opinions won't necessarily tell you what they will do. Fans are fickle and change their minds.


36,000 would be an excellent crowd! Better than MM and better than most combined semi-final attendances in the SL era. And to be fair, most semi-final crowds have been have empty anyway so it's not like it has affected them.


The cup final is played in expansion territory in front of a sell-out crowd every year. The games in Wales are pretty much what got interest going there (15,000 Welsh people at a cup final).
And what's the difference between the Magic Weekend and a DH cup-semi? Neither have sold out, both have more than one game and they will (most likely) both host SL clubs. They are the same sort of event, no?



The only wild-card. It's all on the BBC if it goes ahead or not if the RFL decide they want it.

Are you 10?! That has to be one of the most poorly constructed posts in the history of the internet!

Galpharm?! Are you for real?! 24,000 for TWO games of RL?!

I can understand everyone's choice of Eastlands, and that would be good. Not really expansion, but I reckon it would fill.

Hope not - Headingley would be my choice if Rovers got that far.

I like the idea of a double header, but not in Cardiff, it is too far to travel and with possible trips to France, London (league and cc final), edinburgh, bridgend to interest RL fans..I think people would give it a miss.

poop idea
