Stadium
The Kirklees Stadium plays host to the match and whilst it is a great stadium when full, it can often be too large for the giants and that can lead to a disappointing atmosphere come gameday, something that could be especially true for a match up such as this game where there will understandably be a lack of away fans in attendance.
The stadium is one of the easiest to recognise come match days thanks to the sweeping roofs of the stands and the fact that the ground has played host to many big matches including international test match, including England and Great Britain matches and matches at the Rugby League World Cup when hosted in the UK.
It has also been a popular choice as a neutral venue for Challenge Cup semi-final matches, with its 24,000-capacity perfect for those types of matches.
That is built up of 4 separate stands, all of which are general access all-seater stands, with one stand behind the sticks been a 2-tier stand, one down the side of the pitch been a single tier one, as is the other stand behind the sticks.
The final stand is the grounds main stand as is made up of two tiers, some corporate hospitality facilities and the grounds media facilites.
Location
The match takes place in the town of Huddersfield which is known as the Birthplace of Rugby League.
That is because it was at the George Hotel in the town when the owners of the northern based Rugby club met back in 1895 to form the breakaway Northern Union- the forerunner of the sport of Rugby League.
The town sits centrally along the M62 motorway, thought of as the sport’s traditional heartland of the sport and in a region still a hotbed of the sport.
About
This features two traditional clubs, both based in their respective heartlands of the sport and who both will head into the match with expectations of the win.
With how close things are in the salary capped sport of Rugby League, matches between two evenly matched clubs can really make or break the season for both, which sets this match up perfectly.
