Just because the venues have been decided does not mean the teams playing
in them have been. Think about it. Where else apart from the McAlpine and
Central Park were they going to play the semi's.
Having said that, I think the only thing left to decide about the
semi-final draw back in round 1 was which team would be the cold ball and
which team the warm one.

I hope so Lloyd. I'm looking forward to this game in a big way this year.
I do think though that the game should have been at Elland Road. If Leeds
get good results early on then I suspect in the current climate both
teams should be able to sell out the McAlpine on their own for such a
game.
Better buy my ticket this week.
Chris.
