Oh Sh*t, as well as the postcode test I now find I fail the snobbery test too.
I wish Wakey would hurry up & build their ground so that I can transfer my bandwaggoning to them.

Man City had a large stadium, crowds of 20k-ish, even in the lower divisions and some fairly large financial resources to get back into the top flight, and then a nice new stadium and subsequent huge private investment to start to move them upwards. Hunslet have an average attendance of about 103, play in the middle of an athletics track on a council-owned leisure centre and probably have a turnover that your average city centre burger van would be disappointed with.
I don't see it happening.

| I can't ever get excited about the propsect, as in the 24 years I've followed Leeds, they've always been an irelavance. I don't even see games against them as a proper Derby.
Although, going to watch Leeds play them at Elland Road was my first ever 'away' game. I remember being shocked at the ridiculous amount of fences around the stands.

| Quote: bramleyrhino "It won't happen. The club is on it's ar$e. They'd have gone bust had they been admitted in 1998/9 even if neither of their fans can see their rejection as anything other than Hetherington's work.
Asking whether Bramley would be welcomed is a more valid question than asking about Hunslet.'"
To be fair most national league teams are in that situation theres no money in rugby league at our level but i would say we are in a stronger position then most of them.I must be third fan because i dont blame Mr Hetherington for that in fact Wakefeild are ones i would blame but thats ancient history.

| Quote: Revol " The River Aire would physically mark the divide between Rhinos fans in the North of the city and Hawks fans in the South. Plus it would be interesing to weed out the glory hunters from the true Rhinos fans (ie - The folk you see walking round the areas of South Leeds wearing Rhinos jackets etc).'"
I live 'south of the river'. Im no glory fan, I live and was born in Leeds not Hunslet. I dont give a damn about where I live in relation to the River Aire.
I am a Leeds fan. Stop your babbling.
