I'd just love to beat them.
Small club mentality or not, I want that monkey well and truly off my back.

Any game involving the winner of Huddersfield v Castleford will be played in Doncaster.
Should wigan draw Saints it will be in Bolton (assuming the Reebok is available), if not then Widnes, Warrington or Leigh.
Saints or wigan v Wire will be in Leigh or Widnes (and there will be uproar about the choice of venue being too small, but then it won't sell out after all).

If we get saints wouldn't Wigans JJB be an appropriate Venue

Don't quote me .. but i thought Leigh's Stadium has a higher capacity than the Stobart. I think we will see a massive demand increase on our last Semi-Final, i remember queuing in the North Stand for 2 hours. At least it will be a bit warmer - CC was a May Final back in 2002.

Wont the like's of Widnes and Sts' ground be too small ?

It's always better to have a full house on television, though.

2004 was our last semi final at Widnes, there was just over 11k, 2.5k less than capacity.

Not according to Wiki, it says that Leigh has 10,000-12,000 dependant on a safety check...
