| Quote ice cold alex="ice cold alex"Headingley easily the best traditional ground in world rugby, maybe even world sport.
And it's still miles better than most of the soulless new grounds. Once the new north and south stands are built it will still be world class Rl venue.'"
I was sat in the North stand today on the 40 with the luxury of my very own TV screen it was brilliant....unfortunately the TV screen was stuck on a post but given our performance it wasn't such an inconvenience.
I understand that as it's propping up the cricket ground that it's not a simple thing to resolve but with this shambles the open West Stand Headingley a great traditional ground in rugby/world sport my ar$e

Big game ?, there was only 13k on today , Headingley regularly handles crowds of 17-18 k comfortably
'"
I think maybe your question about the attendance is answered by the ground's poor access for visiting fans of which there were two lots yesterday. Traffic really is a problem wherever you go these days but i can't help think Huddersfield would have been more convenient for all concerned.

| Quote ice cold alex="ice cold alex"Love the western terrace when the suns out, miss swapping ends like in the old days.'"
Agreed. The away end at Headingley is brilliant on a sunny evening but I will acknowledge that I hope the weather on Friday is better than it was yesterday. I was quite impressed with that terrace we were on yesterday though. I haven't been down at that end in about ten years since the last time we swapped before it was all done up. The terrace was bigger than I thought it was and it was perfectly dry where we were standing.
I acknowledge some of the comments above about transport issues as it is fair comment that for a family the coach will be a lot more affordable than the train, but I stand by my earlier posts about Headingley itself - it's a great ground.

| Quote Les Norton="Les Norton"Headingley's main street is probably around the same distance from the ground as Warrington town centre is from your ground. It would probably be half the size as your town centre so has plenty of facilities.
If you class the Carnegie Stand as being open to the elements how do you feel about your own ground with its unproportioned high roofs compared to the height of the terrace?
Headingley's definitely a horrible place to lose a game at, especially if your the massive favourites'"
You're wrong on both counts there pal. I walked from Headingley centre to the stadium yesterday and it was definately further than the HJ to Warrington town centre. Also I got wet through yesterday near the front of the Carnegie, whereas I have stood near the front of our south stand for 10 years and never got wet.

Oh, I see. The memo was never sent to Leeds as Headingley got top rating. And I don't recall that being the reason why Wigan had to sell their own ground and start having to pay rent on somebody else's.

You sold your ground to save you from going bust sunshine.
Thankfully Headingley wasn't inspected by Wigan fans, but an independent panel.

| Wigan probably sold their ground to help pay for the salary cap cheating.

Top rating by whom? Two of your stands North and West are poor pee poor. I went on the train so didn't have any travel chaos and Headingly had enough on offer pre and post match
In defence of pieman and despite the jibes to the likes of Wigan, Salford, FC and Huddersfield you don't have to own a ground to have the right to play in it and with the exception of Salford's AJ Bell they are better than what you have to offer IMO
