fans-2.30 kick off-beers-emotions run high could equal trouble
magic weekend both our fans and leeds fans have let the clubs down last couple of years, also leeds fans fighting at wembley too
i reckon there will be an empty block or at least half of one between both sets of fans |

Both games back to back would increase the interest within the game and maybe encourage new fans to go along for the spectacle, it would push up the crowd (especially from a neutral perspective) and the TV audience would be treated to a double header of games that actually mean something as a combination (so long as the BBC would allow their whole BBC 2 afternoon to be dedicated to it instead of their usual rubbish)'"
I love this idea. Similar to magic but more than 2 points at stake. Could of nearly filled Huddersfield with both semis. Would maybe be the shot in the arm cup needs. Would the BBC cover nearly 4hrs of league in one day though |

This would be the best idea IMO, can easily do it somehwere central and accessible like bramhall lane or even manchester |

Quaint idea, but not reality.
It's naive to think there will not be some Leeds fan who will bring up the uprooting of the posts in 2000 and that some Hull fan will not respond.
Why risk it? Segregation all day long. |

Elland Road maybe, still a neutral ground and now it's back in Leeds United hands they may be keen to make money from it where possible. And it's got a bit of Hull FC history attached to it too... |

Wouldn't be very neutral though if it was in Leeds. |

Home advantage is meaningless in pro sports (for reasons I've explained previously) and elland road isn't headingly. Sure you'd get more Leeds fans than if it were at the keepmoat/KCOM but the reality is the venue in itself with respect to playing performance means nothing.
otherwise why have we lost more at home than away and our really poor performances were at home? |

Home advantage meaningless in pro sports? Are you sure about that? |

Elland Rd is a horrific ground. I'm 5' 1" and even I struggled with leg room when we went to the 4 Nations Final there years ago. My much taller friend had to watch the game on the concourse as she simply couldn't sit down. |

I'm interested in what you say. Why do you think home advantage is meaningless in pro sport, when pretty much every single set of stastics displays that home wins occur more often than away wins. Every now and then an individual team might throw an an anomoly for a short period, but the trends certainly show that home games definitely are an advantage? |

 Oh he'll be sure. He's that arrogant, he actually believes the guff he writes and that despite there being no evidence or facts to back up his opinion, we should all deem it credible & not challenge it.
Of course, numerous studies have been conducted by academics into home advantage in sports and found there to be a number of contributing factors. Home crowd influence on the players & officials, travel, "home comforts" etc.
There are anomalies (like us this year), it's not a rule, but the general trend supports home advantage.
Take the Premier League for the 1617 season:
www.soccerstats.com/homeaway.asp?league=england
The vast majority of teams had a higher win rate, more points, more goals scored and less goals conceded at home. Look at Burnley, Spurs, Leicester and even Hull City.
In SL so far this year, only three sides have a better away record than home record (us, Wakey & Hudds).

It was a "Scientific Study" based in the US, just another of bumpy's irrelevant arguments. |

Funnily, I was looking at the same stats for Superleague. Now these include the Magic fixtures where one team is named as the home side, but..
2017 so far
65 Home wins
44 away wins
2016 (up to R23)
72 home wins
64 away wins
2015 (up to R23)
88 Home wins
46 Away wins
2014 (all rounds)
115 Home wins
65 away wins
and so on.

Pah, you can prove anything with stats 
Our home form (or lack of) is an odd one though. I'm sure I remember Radders alluding to it last season that perhaps the players felt under more pressure to perform at the KCOM in front of our fans. |
