And where would we play? Wheldon Road? Belle Vue? Post Office Road?

Not very. Capacity of Belle Vue is currently reduced due to the bearing capacity of the crush barriers apparently falls short of the standard. Can't say I remember the last crowd surge at BV for this to be even an issue.

Isn't that Leeds Met Borough area. A bit like Wakefield has 335,000 pop, but places like Cas, Hemsworth and Knottingley wouldn't say they're from Wakey.

Other teams should try to do as much as they can, but Leeds have mostly done it off the back of years of success on the pitch. For example there were no Leeds shirts being worn by lads from Wakey in the 90's. Also imo it's nothing really do with being insular, we'd happily welcome fans like any Club, from anywhere they'd prepare to travel. For a team like Wakefield, we're hemmed in by other RL areas like Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Cas/Pontefract, so it's a hard sell. The only place where we've had a few supporters from is Barnsley. No doubt if Wakey had Leeds success in SL and population to match, they'd be taking fans from other areas too.

Strongly disagree.
If you are taking the game to new areas entirely, then fair enough but, to steal from your neighbours is off side.
Your club's attitude on this is arrogant and unnecessary.

Remember, treat people with respect on your way up as you may be seeing them again on the way down.
A bit like last season eh

If your neighbours are doing sod all to attract new fans, then why not

The challenge is if in 3 seasons you are still in the same comp, 2001/3 saw you with about 1700 averages.

With their lack of investment, I think it's only a matter of time until Saford are relegated. Following which their demise will continue and the club will be a bottom half Championship club, if it exists at all. I predict the 2017 million pound game will be a 2016 re-match.

But in the meantime, I think selling nearly 5000 two weeks before Xmas (and that's probably more than half of the superleague sides could muster) a positive wouldn't you say?!

Give him time, he'll find a negative in there somewhere.

Most definitely a positive , good to see the East Hull faithful sticking by their club , just from a structure point of view , are you looking forward to the season , and the potential climax of the middle 8s ?

Im not sure that that's the case here.
Leeds advertising in Bradford, really ??

As I said, it's just grubby

I think the challenge is to ensure we aren't still in (or back in!) the championship in 3 years time.

I totally agree

Absolutely looking forward to next season gubrats. But as R.B.A has already said, hopefully just this season in this division.
Leigh have shown what it takes to get out of this league, so their model of last year is going to be ours, so it seems.
Looking at our season ticket sales and increased sponsorship it seems will be close to the cap next year, and with a fair bit of cap and overseas spots available for the Middle 8's (hopefully), Tim could eventually add some very good players to add to a fairly decent squad to make a strong push for promotion.
It's intriguing next year, many voices were heard from Leigh fans regarding the possibility then reality of promotion this year, but already it seems that we are not as much of a threat next year already from some fans. My take on it is that our obscurity to shout about our possibilities of getting back to superleague will suit us down to the ground. If there is one year to avoid the middle 8's, then it's next year.
But in the meantime, I can't wait for the beginning of the season.

It is a bit of a cheek complaining about Leeds trying to spread their fan base when the Bulls in their heyday did the same .
