Of co there must be a ground in Lancashire big enough for that Semi Final because St Helens don't exactly have a massive support and the self-styled 'greatest fans in Rugby League',Wigan,only sold a p!ss poor 6,000 for their Semi with us at Widnes just 2 years ago.

The RFL takes the view that it is better to sell-out a ground like the HJ than have 20,000 in the Reebok with all the empty space that would leave. People seem to forget that Challenge Cup attendances, even for semi-finals, have been disappointing in the last few years. The atmosphere at the HJ on Saturday was amazing and came over great on the TV when I watched the replay. They want something similar for the semis and who can blame them?

None of the three towns you mention are in Lancashire

There are no towns there

god damn it.

and how is that relevant to the discussion, in which everyone knows what everyone else is talking about?
