As Leeds 6 is probably similar in area to your small town, are you people actually on Google Maps, or is Wigan simply represented by a large cow pat, not that far from Manchester?

Did it actually take you 7 minutes to think of that reply? Oh and there's nothing worse than laughing at your own jokes, Frank Carson used to do it, it doesn't make your statement anymore funnier..
Didnt check out Leeds 6 (whatever that is, I presume you mean Leeds postcode 6) I checked out farms near Leeds city centre and by jov, I thought my LED screen had burst into measels....

| As someone who is probably more knowledgable about the areas of Wigan and Leeds than most on here, I can confirm that lionarmour87 and BillyRhino are talking absolute crapola - no change there, I know.

Indeed petal, big cities have postcodes. I think we have 25 or 30. I expect at your nearest crossroads, there'll be an old horse trough, and a wooden signpost pointing in your general direction, with the legend, Wigan 3 leagues inscribed on it. Handy for back in the day when Old Frank was the star turn at t'club! Or maybe he still is in your neck of the woods!
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if there were some "farms" within our postcodes. Leeds City council have many and strange ways of spending my council tax, and a trendy little urban farm where you could get in touch with your green side sounds right up their street.

| I went to Central Park and I've been to Headingley. Central Park was a much better stadium. More seats, more standing room and more cover.

| Quote ="hula89"Dont even know your own team do you?
The RU club is the same business as the RL club. It is one Business known as "Leeds Rugby."
See now I didn't know everything but I knew that part. So how can a tenancy agreement be signed by themselves?
You need to look it up. And btw you still haven't proved that you own the whole ground?'" Leeds CF&A Ltd runs the Rhinos, owns the stadium (excluding the cricket pitch and stands but including the hotel and main pavilion), charges rent to Leeds RUFC Ltd, has millions of ££ in the bank and makes good profits. This is quite clear to anyone with a basic understanding of financial statements and/or the set up at Headingley.
Leeds CF&A is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leeds Rugby Ltd, which in turn is owned by Caddick group.
Leeds RUFC Ltd runs Leeds Carnegie RUFC, has sod all in the way of any assets and relies on direct and massive subsidy by Paul Caddick and Leeds Met to survive given the losses made. I believe the company is now owned directly by Caddick group rather than as a subsidiary of Leeds Rugby Ltd as it used to be before a controlling interest was sold to Leeds Met University - who subsequently gave it back when they realised what a turkey they had bought. The company pays rent to Leeds CF&A (the Rhinos) - but probably not at a market rate.
Since Leeds own their own ground and have to pay for it to be developed themselves it isn't as easy as, say, abandoning one's own historic stadium to move into a new football ground being built nearby where one doesn't have primary tenancy. But those are the challenges homeowners face that tenants do not.

That's why central park is currently a shopping centre.

Not really because they would still be overshadowed by a whopping great big dump.
Plus the prospect of you lurking around in your anorak would be enough to scare anybody off.

Lurking is a much under rated pastime young Warrior.
You could learn much from cruncher, who I suspect spends much of his time in dark corners, although to be fair, your description of him as a whopping great big dump is a tad cruel.
Accurate,...... but cruel

And yet we are still able to offer cheaper ticket prices despite being the poor tenants!
