Quote: RHINO-MARK "The switch to ER was a no brainer given the building works , & all the others listed were pre-agreed pre-arranged regular fixtures.
Also if we played a season away from Headingley so be it.
This is a cup qtr final drawn at random we are the home side & cant fulfill the draw.
Its the same with Wigan in the play offs why bother with a draw if you cant play at your home ground?'"
This is a a no brainier because of the building work, we've been using the cricket sides facilities this year. Where are the dressing rooms going to be if we can't use the cricket side and it's not just a place for players to change into kit you'll need proper medical/physio areas at this level now, can't just have them in the car park.
This will have been pre arranged you could tell by how quickly they announced it, Leeds will probably have know for a while but their was no need to announce it before because we could've easily been drawn away or even knocked out in previous round which would've left the issue non existent. Just because something wasn't made public doesn't mean it wasn't in the pipeline
We can fulfill this game just like we could fulfill our league game vs HKR. The only difference is the fans got more notice but as I said until this weekend past their was no guarantee we'd even be in the Quarter Finals.
