What a ripe off!!!! RFL have picked a stadium that is too small and is overcharging for ticket coz they know demand will be there.

We could fill the HJ with our fans if prices were resonable!

Not much surprise about the venue, but I'm sure it's too small for a Wigan - Saints semi. Plus £10 more for a ticket (£28), than I paid for, at the same venue, on Saturday. That's absolutely disgraceful.

An absolute disgrace and a total lack of vision on the part of the RFL.

I'm just gutted that it's on the Saturday as I can't go. I do agree that the prices are a rip off too, although with it being a small ground the atmosphere will be good as it was on Saturday..

Saturday........... thank god for that, im on a track day at Silverstone on the Sunday :)

HJ was the obvious choice even though its the wrong one, surely theres a technicality that says we would use Latics stadium? lol.

They'd better not run out of 2 pint pots before the match this time! ha ha
