Great. Travelling all the way to Huddersfield, for a "reserved seating" semi final with a rubish atmosphere. Fantastic.

I wonder if the delay is over the BBC spitting the dummy out?

The Beeb will surely want this for Saturday lunch time, but if it is at Hudds then we have to play the Sunday...

You would think Maurice Lindsay being in charge at Preston he would be pushing for some RL games! BBC have a live football game on the Sunday but that is 1pm kick off.

Huddersfield is just a joke! but sadly Warrington went for far too small a stadium to start off with they should have made it 15,000 and then had the option to go to 18,000.

It took us 6 weeks to sell 3,000 for Warrington away and Saints are hardly packing Widnes to the rafters. Get it at Warrington, electric atmosphere, packed out, terracing.

As I said last night. The 2009 semi, had it been Wigan v Saints would have been played at the HJ, and that came from a member of Wigans commercial dept.

As it turned out we played Wire at Widnes and Saints played Huddersfield at the HJ.

Perhaps you are right! which is a sad reflection on this season, I am sure Wigan could sell 10,000 and then your 3,000 lol, not sure if most of your fellow supporters would agree you can't sell at least 5,000 for a semi, but then when it is Live on TV which is the cheapest?

It is the type of decision the RFL will make to take it to Warrington if it is in the North West as too many of our matches on TV show half full stadiums.

It will not be at the Galpharm.

I would have thought the HJ was fine for this game. 13,000 sell out no worries.
