Utterly crazy.

BUT

Was always likely to happen with the cricket being on. Is that under reduced capacity as well?

Exactly what I was thinking! Are they expecting a big gate?

The main factor in this is that the walkway around the North Stand (cricket side) is shut off. Hence having to send all North stand ticket holders down the sides and having quite a crush when getting to their seats, instead of being able to use the top entries in the north.

Admittedly, it is a farce. But crowd safety is no.1!

The sooner Headingly gets a new North & South stand the better.

I know there isnt alot they can do with the away end, but Im almost certain they could dig it out and rebuild it to be a standing end with a roof and just lose the 2 corners with the floodlights in.

I understand that is the case, but how does the North stand problem take 10,000 off the capacity. They could just close that stand.

To be honest though, is this slightly in Wigans favour? Less home support but really good away support. Leeds will not be using their usual dressing rooms. Their usual home matchday experience will be different. Could this have an impact? Maybe, maybe not.

Agreed, I honestly think that they'll shut the top half of the north off and reduce the capacities in the West and Carnegie.

Aye the SS changing rooms will be in play, unless, they're shifted upstairs to one of the suites in the north/carnegie. Tis to your advantage with out doubt. How much it will affect them is anyone's guess though.

TEN THOUSAND CAPACITY???!!!

ANd all because the cricket is playing on the same day. In that case, Leeds should be compelled to either offer to play the game at Wigan, or move to another venue, for instance, Elland Road. Leeds United are out of season now, so it shouldn't be a problem.

But 10k for a big CC game between RL's two biggest clubs, and one that's going to be on the TV? What a joke.

Or maybe we should just send Yorkshire to play at Scarbrough?

I doubt we'd get much more than 12k anyhow.

Yes it's not great

But realistically I don't think there would have been too many more than 10,000 on anyway - challenge cup games don't pull in the crowds.
