When we lost to the Pies in the semis last time we had a bit of a crisis in the backs, and we had two forwards playing centre - Burns was one and I think Sibbit the other. Tried hard but not a patch on the centres we can play now.

as long as all our players remain fit, we should have a considerably better team on the park than then, however stranger things have happened, it wasn't that long ago (this season) we had forwards playing as backs! was it clarke i cannot remember.
fingers crossed and all that

Our ground lsv leigh would be a brilliant atmostphere when full as it is quit close to play we cannot fill it but you two would have no problem, and good luck for the game.
Knowsley Road. Traditional ground, rather than one of these identikit soulless stadia. Playing at the Leigh Small Village or Widnes' ground would be like playing at the Halliwell Jones. Plus KR has a bigger capacity.

I dont think LSV will be big enough TBH we should get at least 14.000 for this game.
Options are Reebok, Widnes, City of Manchester Stadium or Huddersfield it all depends on how big a crowed the RFL think it will generate the other option is Saints ground.
As for the other Semi that will be Leeds, JJB, Reebok or Warrington.

Both semis are a repeat of 2004 when our game was played at Widnes and the other match was at our ground and I can't see why that would change for this year.
One thing I know is it won't be at the JJB as Big Stu has said someone has mentioned.

Well would never be the JJB would it as its not a neutral ground. On the Widnes one you must remember attendances at both clubs have gone up over the last few years so would it be big enough? I am sure the clubs have input into this and if they feel they can sell out there season ticket allocation that would be around the 19,000 mark i think and then Widnes is not a big enough ground or is Saints ground.

My choice would also be Knowsley Road but i can't see the RFL going for it.
