Just seen it on SSN that the capacity has been reduced to 10,000 because of Yorks v Lancs in the cricket match,thoughts please.

Disgraceful. Advantage Wigan though.

Why?

Because they are more used to playing in a half empty stadium

I'm assuming he means that a packed Headingley crowd can be quite intimidating and the fact that only 7,500 Leeds fans will be there compared to Wigan's original allocation of 2,500 will somewhat less so.

Room to improve attendances on.............Leeds on the other hand??

Oh yeah massive advantage then

maybe they should just give you the cup now

In it to win it as they say!!
How's your chances by the way

Dont you follow the game? we have been knocked out

Mattyb walks out of games at half time so yeah he half follows the game

Not as many home fans and a great away following.
Leeds will not be in their usual changing rooms.
The match day will not be the same as usual.

Leeds really struggle with this year after year at the Old Trafford changing rooms. In fact they bring in a cardboard replica of the Headingley changing rooms every year to put up so they don’t struggle..

woooossshhhh!!

How big did you want the whistling smilie exactly???

Do they bring along a cardboard replica of you as well.

It wouldnt work

Lol at the clutching at straws for every llittle thing that might give wigan a meaingless advantage. None of the things you've suggested will make any difference to who turns up on the day and wins.

Oh NO, not the usual changing rooms? I bet the bookies lowered the odds on a wigan win when they heard that, however will leeds cope?

If you're looking for ''advantage wigan'' things look no further than the injury to peacock. That will have a bigger imoact than different changing rooms ever would.

Took me a bit to get that one but

Rugby is more important than cricket.

Chin up pal, you might get the next one!

Is this serious? I'm gutted, I was hoping that a massive crowd at Headingley on the BBC would be a cracking advert for the sport. Could they not just say sod it, we'll charge half price, free for kids and ask Leeds Utd if they can play at Elland Road?

Or do a rain dance?

Yep, you're right. We should play this fixture at Widnes, that's much better.



Sorry Jonny but we have home advantage in a qtr final CC game and we're not going to move to another ground just to get a nice looking crowd on TV.

Hopefully the game itself will be a good enough advert for the sport - and besides, it's guaranteed to be a sell out so that can get a mention!

There will be 20 people who actually WATCH the county cricket game ( if that) and yet it will cause a "problem" for the RL part of the ground!!!

Who is pulling whose chain?

Elf & sayftea is the reason stated.

The risk analysis will be a good laugh if anyone can get hold of a copy.

What crowd would you have got, i'd guess at 17k ish? So will the cricket team be compensating leeds and the pies?

This is a wind up.
