Because one is incapable of following what is happening before his very eyes and the other has no interest beyond turning up to get his paycheck.

Quite possibly.

This (Stallone film bashing) could warrant a thread of its own.

In relation to ...my Mom will shoot, I couldn't comment. I haven't seen it. I have heard rumours of how bad it is. So maybe similar to posters on here, I could assume how bad it is without knowing myself.

What about one of the Spy Kids films, he has about 6/7 roles in that film - GULP - I know.

Oscar.

For mine the superior 'quality' system lost out. I'm sure there are other instances where this has happened before.



A three hour blank tape (Thorn Video Cassette E-180) used to set you back around £10 individually. DER used to do them in packs of three for £27.99 .... bargain.



I've basically kept them although over the years I've thrown many a mouldy tape away without knowing (or wanting to know) what's on there.

I keep toying with the idea of transferring some to DVD but I don't seem to find the time or the neccessary motivation.

Almost as big a surprise as 13,692 turning up to Headingley for a knock out game against Wigan in SL as opposed to only 9,242 turning up to Headingley for a knock out game against Wigan in the CC, where both fixtures required the need to buy an extra ticket to attend.

My point stands.

Your point being exactly what ?

That you refuse to go to the game because....erm thousands of others can't be d either ?

The larger 13k attendance for the play-off game v Wigan, as opposed 9k for the Cup quarter-final in pouring rain, may have been because fans were eager to see if Leeds could qualify for a 4th consecutive Old Trafford appearance.

Where have you read that?




We have a 52, and it's incredible. I hardly ever watch anything that isn't HD now.

A point made irrelevant by the fact no-one shall be watching. Furthermore if your concern is the new fan watching for the first time, this is also not a factor. The only people who would be able to see that Davies and French are out of touch are already fans of the game.

Thing is that the BBC audience relates better to the old man and Davies than they do to a Northern hack and some white haired fellow they have never heard of.

Can we throw into the mix as well that one game was available to anyone with a TV on a free-to-air channel, while the other would have required the armchair viewer to have a Sky Sports subscription?

Perhaps that forced more people to get out and watch the play-off game in the flesh, although it wouldn't account for the full 4,000 difference on its own.

wasn't it reduced capacity for the cup game?

That's an overly simplistic way of looking at things. You need to factor in other things such as:

1. The CC game being broadcast by the BBC
2. Horrendous weather for the CC game and a sunny evening for the play-off game
3. Leeds having beaten the form team prior to the play-off game
4. The CC game having an early afternoon KO, affecting those involved in the amateur game, including me

I think it's more likely that a combination of the above put paid to a high attendance rather that the cup having lost it's appeal.

I used to think that too. When you first get it, if you flick between the two there seems to be little to no difference.

After you've been watching HD a while though, and you have to watch something that isn't you really do notice it.

Although, I'm convinced they're gradually and subtly deliberately reducing the quality of SD television to boost HD sales.

Have you ever seen those Sky stands in the White Rose (or wherever) that are showing a football match in split screen with half HD/SD. The SD part must be doctored to look worse surly? I've never seen a picture as bad as that on a modern TV!
