You really didn't need anything after that.



Seriously though, whilst it isn't the worst ground in Super League, it's a long way from the best. And it definitely isn't an appropriate stadium/location to accommodate 13,000+ fans all travelling in from outside the city.

The train may be great for those who can afford it, but a family of four could have gone today for £20 on the official club coaches compared to £65 on the train.

What it's missing is a big carpark. Other than that i think it's comparable to most new grounds. Leeds is a pretty big place, it's not reasonable, unlike Warrington, to just expect a centralised location with good motorway links.

On a similar theme, I loved Wilderspool. Very atmospheric. Good bar at the back of the Railway End. A bit too much sand on the pitch though

Give over, Wilderspool had the best grass pitch anywhere in world sport for several years. We covered it in manure every other week.

Big game ?, there was only 13k on today , Headingley regularly handles crowds of 17-18 k comfortably

Not when all the support is away.

not quite getting the 'semi final at a neural ground' thing are you?

Stick a roof on the away end and it'd be my favourite ground in the league.

I think this is spot on & sums Headingly up.

I hate semi finals, it brings all the weapons out, had to contend with some areshole and his dad who turned up just after kick off, who were chucking beer around just cos they thought it was funny. Also they had his gf with them who had snuck a full glass bottle of sambuca in, which was getting passed to a couple of teenage girls who I don't think we're with them.


They spent I'd say over half the match not looking at the pitch and struggling to stay upright.

If you got hit by the Pringles can, today, it was this that did it. And to top it all off he openly starts snorting coke in the bloody crowd, like no one is going to notice you sniffing your house key mate.


wigan away is usually like this as well, kids on the booze.


Wasn't sure afterwards if the girl that was in a mess near the coaches(she was in a bad way) was one of the ones near me.


Bloody ridiculous.

no it wouldnt, if it was in lancashire, it would be the worst SL ground

What does Lancashire have to do with anything?

Love the western terrace when the suns out, miss swapping ends like in the old days.
