Ask the RFL.

Personally I think it smacks of a lack of ambition from the RFL. A capacity of 13,500 in a less than desireable location.

The Wigan v Wire Semi at Maine Road was a great occasion. The City Stadium, The Reebok or Deepdale would have shown far more ambition on the part of the RFL and been more fitting stadia for such an occasion.
A capacity of only 13,500 says it all CP.
Just not big enough for two well supported Rugby League clubs.
20K + seater stadium required for this CC Semi Final.
Whats the RFL link with Widnes.

Mmm on that basis then probably a far better choice. Not sure why I thought the capacity was 10,000 but on the capacity you quote far better geographically and a better facility particularly in terms of the whole complex, parking etc etc.
