It wasn't funny the first time.

Not the best game we could have had for our first game with a new coach and umpteen new signings having not gelled.

Although, we could play Hull KR and lose like we did last season with Leigh as they are high on enthusiasm having just been promoted. Prefer to lose to the champions rather than someone we are expected to beat if you get my meaning.

However, i hope we gel. Doing pre season different this year as for the last god knows how many years we have gone away and done warm weather training, this year it looks like we are with the armed services battle readying ourselves.

Games at elland road eh! An attempt to break some records and attract some new fans apparently. Cheap tickets and getting people through the gates.

I for one am shocked, certain posters assured me that was a terrible idea. I'm sure the dynamic duo will be along to tell us they are still right soon enough...

Do you honestly think that Elland Rd will attract bigger crowds for run of the mill SL games than Headingley?

Leeds haven't sold out Headingley in years why does everyone think they need a bigger arena?

All those who have renewed their ST are going to be happy that a load of people are going to attend the game at a significant discount to what they have paid. I would have thought the Bradford have showed giving away discounted tickets has no future.

Are you justifying this on our previous capacity or our 12.5k capacity next season. Both these games at ellan Road will easily beat the full capacity.

no ,but you know the saying 'any cock can crow on its own midden'

Yes. Without a doubt.

Also using Elland Road as a marketing tool and needing a bigger stadium are two very different things.

Getting 38k through the door once or twice and trying to make 2 or 3k sticky is a vastly different business in every way to one trying to get 30k through the door every other week.

Both these games should beat headingleys full capacity when finished and previous capacity. There is no reason that with some effort those games shouldn't sell out.

there does seem to be a bit of a relationship developing between Radz ,GH and LCC .Radz recently plugging the Rhinos ? I wonder if he has aspirations of a redeveloped ER hosting major RL events ?

I admire your optimism, but Leeds united cant sell out ER for big championship games when over the last few months they have looked like serious contenders for promotion (granted that looks a false dawn right now ) but no chance we get close to capacity for a few poxy SL games. People may be willing to go to big one off games in their droves but unless they are practically giving the tickets away i would be surprised if we filled over half of ER.

You might want to wait until we see what crowds they get, sure you claimed we would get loads more than usual. And I think it's a move born out of necessity rather than us wanting to move games there.

Yeah I think I might be one of the people he's referring to. For the record my position was that if Headingley can accomodate 12k, there's no need to move 6 games to ER as they wouldn't get great crowds, it would look rubbish, and the club would lose money. I also disputed how easy it would be to "sell it out", considering there's often lots of empty seats at Headingley and even the semi took an age to sell out. IF there's a simple trick to attracting more people through the gates, we should use it to fill Headingley. I hope that's not too contentious

Having 2 games there is a bit different. Especially if Headingley can only take maybe 10k. You can exploit the pent up demand and let people in for a fiver.

Not sure the KR game will get a great crowd, but Cas should easily beat 23k

BIB - I'd be very angry if people are being let in for a fiver when I've paid full price for my season ticket.
