| Quote Foz="Foz"How would it look on the TV with only about 4k for a semi final?'"
Not much worse than the 7k for a quarter-final yesterday. And that was with a home side and opponents only an hour down the motorway.

I seriously don't think that the RFL will stage it in France though, as they will probably lose out on a lot of money due to a half empty stadium!!
i think we'll draw saints anyway and i think that should be at the Reebok as it's only 30ish miles from both towns and they could just open the bottom tiers and still get 16-1700 in, and it will look full on TV

| I still would go with The Stoop for Catalan even after hearing all these arguments, maybe a chance for London to see a decent crowd for 2 SL teams

Only because you live in London.

Playing the game there would attract at absolute most around 4000 Wire fans, and I think that's me being ambitious. Saints and Leeds would probablytake similar, if not even less in Saints case as they've experienced so many CC semis and finals recently. It could potentially be much less anyway as it's three hours away and like it or not many fans of the above three clubs will take the view of, "It's only Catalans so we'll be going back to London three weeks later and I'll save my money for that".
Catalans would take around 1000 at most, and again it could be much less.
Harlequins own attendances suggest to me there would be unlikely to be huge interest from nuetrals so we would probably be looking at an attendance of less than 5000. Barcelona, Leigh or Huddersfield would get double that so it's no brainer.
The only advantage The Stoop has is that it's a recognised Super League ground and the one most central to both teams but the disadvantages outweigh that solitary advantage.
If you want to play it "central" and the City of Paris has agreed to underwrite the fixture (I don't know if they have or not) then the RFL may consider that as it prevents them losing money while exploring an expansion opportunity but London offers no real attraction.

| Quote TF and the wire="TF and the wire"Bog mistake to play it anywhere but northern England IMO. In recent years, the emphasis has been on full stadiums and that seems the best way. I'll personally never forget the atmosphere for last seasons semi, which for me was the best in nearly 40 years of watching the Wire.'"
I agree. Last year's semi between us & Wigan @ Widnes was packed out & made a great specticle for TV

| If Catalans are to play in Paris then whoever draws them, Coachmaster will be taking a coach.
Price will be about £50.00 per person
or Maybe an overnight stay for around £80.00 Per Person.

£50 can't argue with that.
