Yes as you say hopefully Leeds hull Warrington hudd/Catalan make the semis but for all your sarcasm it won't interest you so better focus on your magic weekend trophy

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.

Personally I don't see an issue.

We have to remember that all this building work going on has to be paid for to the tune of £35m how the hell Leeds and Yorkshire are going to ever pay that back I have no idea but a test match at Headingley I am sure will help Yorkshire fund some of their obligation.

In the meantime some sacrificises are going to have be made until the building work is complete and this is just one of them. In fact once the building work is complete sacrifices will have to be made as we are going to have to pay rent to fund the new stands.

Is going to Fev to play a Cup QF so much of a pain?? No it's not.

I would rather be going to Fev than be out of the cup as we nearly was on Fri or have travel back over M60/M62 again which is a total nightmare on a Fri night these days.

Teacup, meet storm.

There's nothing wrong with the pitch at Fev. There were some unfortunate injuries to some Hull players that night, but they could have happened anywhere. I can't recall many other bad injuries there this season.

It can cut up towards the top end during prolonged wet spells, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with the playing surface.

Well were there this week to get the run down before Leeds

You are 100% correct.

Re the money, I suspect GH has a finger (and most of an arm) in that pie for Leeds not to exercise the right to play on their own pitch. Just a hunch.

Doesn't the club still own the Headingley Lodge and "Headingley Experience"? That's some good corporate revenue right there on Test Match days.

It's GH's usual clever technique to distract punters from the pending thrashing on Saturday. 10 in a row. Leeds by plenty.

Have you ever won when it counts though? You know like the countless grand finals and challenge cup finals we’ve won.

Even if Cas win its not 10 in a row unless you for some strange reason choose to forget about the GF.

Every minute matters.

Clearly not the 80 minutes at Old Trafford
