And Leeds play in Headingley, not Leeds city centre but are called Leeds. What's your point? In fact, Headingley is bigger than Glasshoughton so why aren't you called Headingley?

Glasshoughton is an ex coal mining site that is being built on. It's no mans land between Cas and Pontefract and could quite easily be called part of either. It isn't one of the 5 towns of Wakefield and before freeport and Xscape consisted of a cricket club and football team and a dozen houses. Glasshoughton = cheap land with the best transport links in the area. It is as simple as that.

You are incorrect actually according to SLstats (the oracle!)

Hudds best average was in 2009 (7,90icon_cool.gif rlhttps://www.slstats.org/t7/Huddersfield+Giants/rl

Cas best average was in 2000 (7,980) rlhttps://www.slstats.org/t10/Castleford+Tigers/rl

However, you are definitely on the up (despite a small -6% blip this year ), whilst Cas have been consistent (to a degree).

I wasn't a few years ago, but now I'm sure - I want FEV in Super League. They keep that enthusiasm in the League, they have a nice enough stadium, but they could use a wee bit of work, but it's as good, if not better than Belle Vue, they love RL round there, they'd be quite a good addition IMO.

So basically you want Fev in because they are enthusiastic, love rugby league and have a less cr@p stadium than wakefield?


Widnes, Fax, Barrow, Leigh and Tolouse are all more prepared for SL IMO at the moment.

Isn't that the entire issue? Same watching Barrow on Granada and saying the ground isn't far off from SL standard, well yes it is. Belle Vue & The Jungle etc are not 'SL Standard' plain and simply so if clubs are trying to match their grounds then that's just plain stupid. They may be in SL and have met certain requirements in the past but a 'SL standard stadium' in RFL terms is not simply one in which SL rugby is played in.

We are talking about a ground with two half stands on the sides and two behind the sticks with no roofs and saying it's fine for SL based on the criteria?

You do understand Headingley is part of Leeds dont you? The same as places like Guisley, Rothwell, Holbeck, Beeston, Wetherby, Otley, Burley, Chapel Allerton etc.

Because Glasshoughton is part Castleford, same as Headingley is part of Leeds.

because its part of Cas. If you are from GH you are from Cas. What I was saying is by your thinking Headingley isn't part of Leeds.

You missed out Hunslet from your list. Should they be called Leeds too?

Typical scouse humour, dont you just love it

From one muppet to another, Middlesboro is in Teeside now and Hull is in Humberside, if you don't get my point then ask a grown up to explain it to you. All Widnes is, is an extension of the A562 from Halewood out of Liverpool and like Skem house the overspill from the great city, you should be honoured really your just as much a scouse as those are

These posts are really bizarre.

To me, and probably the vast majority of people who like RUGBY LEAGUE, the KEY POINT is the game on the field.

Everything else is secondary, yet somehow all this rubbish and rhubarb about the colour of bog seats, who has a brighter light bulb than someone else, etc.,etc., has taken over centre stage.

Absolutely crazy.
