A bit harsh on the Hudds ground. There are a lot worse in SL. I actually enjoy going to Hudds.

Gone downhill ever since Ricky's closed.

Is the Gas Works still open?

Quite, it's a great ground

Why does any team have to be relegated? Expansion is the way forward even if the greedy SL club chairmen can’t see it.

100% agree, now this may sound like I’m just saying this because of the position we are in but honestly I’m not. The best thing SL could do now is say we are going to a 14 team SL for next season, no one goes down, Toronto automatically promoted and the chanpiinship play off moves to 2-6 from 1-5. I honestly don’t see the downside.

We have got a good mix of traditional and expansion clubs, straight home and away fixtures then a playoff for SL champions. This will likely happen in 2021 anyway so why risk not having a London team in the league who I think bring a lot to the value of SL

Works for me!

The game sometimes specialises in holding itself back.

Head of Steam & Kings - both on the station, Sportsman & Slubbers are all great pubs. great train service. Good ground. Apart from the cow bell what's not to like?

Ricky's is closed

How on Earth is the ground rubbish? You have seats (with decent legroom) plenty of facilities in the stadium, two bars literally next door, and more importantly for you this Friday given the current forecast a bleedin roof!!!!

The downside to expansion is SL clubs taking a cut in TV revenue next year as it would be spread further. Will they do that to save Leeds or anyone else? I'm not so sure, even if that is the plan for 2021. Too many teams operate on a knife-edge to expect them all to be willing or able to lose a chunk of income at short notice.

I think p&r is a stupid indulgence for a sport with too few big teams, designed to assuage fans of a couple of mid range championship sides, whilst driving short-termism amongst all SL sides caught in the mix. All in the name of 'excitement' that a whole bunch of sports - including RU - see no need for.

But we can't bet on it being removed to save us - I think if we finish last we'll go down for a year at least. Worryingly right now without my blue and amber specs there's nothing that gives me any confidence to think we won't finish bottom except our current points difference advantage.

Good post but you forgot the best of all. Magic Rock Tap. Worth travelling to Huddersfield for even if there's no game.
