I'd would rather we maybe take the game the game on the road to London

But in terms of taking the game to Elland Road, we still have very little presense in our own city outside of North Leeds. We have a 800k population and still only get an average 14k home fans a game, and have done for the last 10 years. Which is great for a RL club but could we do better? The answer is a big YES.

You can walk every inch around this city today and would seen no sign of us winning the treble (other than back pages of the YEP) and that season tickets are available for 2016.

We could build our brand so much bigger and the WCC is a great way to do it. Having it at HQ shows no ambition and is purely to line the pockets of the club
. Which I don't have a problem with, but I wish we could look at the bigger picture.

An abomination.

ISC really have run out of ideas.

Home shirt - cack
Magic shirt - cack
Majority of off field wear - cack
Treble shirt - cack

I have to agree. The recent crop of replica shirt have not looked great and is it just me or do they look worse the closer you get? The printing and graphics, to my eye, look cheap and tacky.

Haha! It looks like a cast off from the early 90s football kits, just worse with right angles and straight lines. Wouldn't be quite as bad without the third Wembley one.

Couldn't they have maybe done it in 3 being sliced at a 45 degree angle instead so there isn't quite so much going on..?

thought for a season or two now the Leeds jerseys & training gear has been complete cack. i wanted a couple of new vests for the gym ,so bought some really nice and well made Cas Tigers stuff instead !

No-brainer really. Pointless giving up home advantage, paying rent, losing out on concession income etc to somewhere like Elland Road just to stick an extra 5-10k on the gate.

Correct I was home less than a week ago and I noticed the changes in the city once again very cosmopolitan now and lots of tourists and visitors etc if it had been Philadelphia Phillies who had just won the World Series or eagles won super bowl it would be splashed all over the city

It's a testament why We are known as the best run club when we can get more money playing in front of 21k at Headingley than 30K plus at ER

Indeed, and next year we can not sell out HQ for an SL game, we can sell cc final and gf tickets for a diverse, hold 4 nations games at Huddersfield, Wigan, Leigh and Hull and not sell them out either, we can count out foxy bingo, heinz bug soup and first utility sponsorship money and wonder why it so low, then wonder why the wcs doesnt have a sponsor yet and then blame it all on the union media

Because playing the game at Elland Road would generate so much more publicity and sponsorship for the occasion and the sport as a whole.

yeah it would. 3 games pitting the best 6 teams in world rugby against each other to decide the best competition and crown the worlds best club, getting 100/120k between them will get people talking, it will get publicity, it will be covered by the papers, it will be on the news, It would get a hell of a lot of mentions and a hell of a lot of visibility. That of course being the reason why sponsors, sponsor.

3 glorified friendlies barely breaking a 20k average wont.

And where are these 120k spectators going to come from? This isn't Field of Dreams. Nigel Wood isn't Kevin Costner.

It's alright bandying these numbers around, but there is absolutely no evidence to support the possibility of reaching them.
