I know it will probably end up being at Leigh or Widnes, but neither are really inspiring venues for a semi final. Still, if all goes to plan Wembley should make up for that.

So Which Rugby League club has he played in the cup for??

You can only be cup tied if you have played for another club in the same competition or that might be registered to.

Apparently both games will be played at the Reebok stadium, with an initial allocation of 9,000 per club, keeping the top tears of both sides of the ground closed. is demand rises an extra 5,000 seats are available per team, making a potential 28,000 sell out...Come on the WIRE

Would 9.000 per club not make a total of 36,000 the Reebok is not that big and they cannot be played on separate days there as the stadium is booked for a Testimonial on the 8th

Testimonial is to be played at 11am with an expected attendance of 1000 people meaning little to no work for stewards and staff, the saturday kick off is 6pm giving sufficient time for changing rooms to be turned round and lines to be painted on. meaning 2 games with 9000 each is 18000, plus 10000 extra if required = 28,000. thanks for dropping by

Surely the game can't be held at the Stobart Stadium. It wouldn't be fair on us with it not being a neutral stadium.
