Wembley of the north indeed.

Yeah your home 8's games to be played at Odsal.

Where is the funding coming from ?

If the move to Odsal is true it'll just be away games for me. Cancel my goddam season ticket sir.

Me too - that ground is in a terrible state not fit to hold SL games

Wouldn't bother me for a few games if needed for the re-development.

Probably rather go to Elland Rd but at least at Odsal money will stay in RL

If Leeds were to introduce a Taco Bell franchise, the dilettante massive of Leeds would be queueing up the night before the official opening

Another silly rumour. It's been rubbished by the club on Twitter this morning.

But you will go to Wheldon Road & Belle Vue (sic)?

Yes I think it would be announced first about the funding

I'd be very sic if we had to endure either of those doss holes.

The last time I went to Odsal a large chunk of the terracing was taped off because it was unsafe - that has never been the case at the Jungle or Belle Vue whenever I have visited

That terracing was taped off as there was work being done to reinforce the fixings that held the barriers in place. All fixed and safe again now. Odsal may be a relic but it's not unsafe now.

That's because the lot of it is unsafe.

Are all the concrete standing areas now open?

Just like Headingley in the past?

Problem with going to Elland Rd is that if it were the home games of the 8s we were needing to move, because of the idiotic, terrible system we have, we have no idea where they will be or who they would be against.

It could be a real opportunity to get people through the gate, especially those who dont normally attend and to get on the front foot but it simply can't happen under this stupid system.

They're closed behind the posts so as to concentrate the crowd in one area. It makes for a better atmosphere and is cheaper to steward when we have smaller crowds. It's opened up for the bigger games e.g. for Leigh last year and probably for HKR this year.

Now that we are staying at Headingley while southstand gets knocked down,capacity down to 13,000 wonder if all games made all ticket with no away fans.while we play crap we still get 13,000 +

I can only speak from my own experience

That's a dangerous game to play though when you have your usual home supporter base that exceeds that capacity, then those floating fans and few that miss out on tickets may be lost by the club, especially if it does go into a lull on the playing front too expecting all those fans to just suddenly come back on mass is not a given. The club has spent many years building the core supporter base and a lot of that good work could be undone by the way they handle these building works.

It's a tough call for the club whatever they do.

Exactly this.

Prevents them co-ordinating with the football club fixtures/pitch work and marketing big one off events.

The right decision IMO. While this will mean 2000-3000 people miss out (some of those been away fans) there is no ideal option.

You can't stop away fans from visiting. Reduce their allocation by all means but there's no way the RFL would allow a total ban and rightly so.

Exactly this i expect a pre-agreed number between us & the RFL wrt away allocation per team based on their average away support.
