I never thought I'd want to sit down. Did 30 years in the old SS, but people get older and going away to grounds with seating more and more often has gotten me used to it. We moved to the Carnegie a couple of years ago and I like it in there.

Interesting times ahead, Yorkshire CCC play the same day as Leeds v Wigan on April 13th. Expecting Rhinos May play at Elland Road.

Well Leeds vs Wigan is always a tv game. Are they going to be set up for a Sky broadcast by then with a studio (even temporary) or main camera position? Sky will want to as usual show a decent chunk of Leeds matches throughout the year and won't want to miss some of the big ones.

that would make sense. easy access from motorways for traveling fans, reckon this was played Sunday afternoon could get 20k plus. reckon if we promoted it well could go for a record super league crowd,

More so Leeds are away that weekend so expect it even more.

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Wed Nov 29, 2017 8:53 pm  

Just had a look at the Sky fixtures and we're on Sky at home 4 times. The current Elland Road matches vs KR and Cas the aforementioned Wigan clash and Hull in Round 5.

The Saints and Warrington games later on in the year aren't yet down as being on Sky even though they are always normally chosen (they've already got some games as late as the last three regular rounds listed such as Saints vs Wigan, Wigan vs Warrington).

That Hull game in Round 5 you'd have to wonder if Headingley will be ready for a Sky broadcast with both main stands being worked on. It's also on a Thursday as a stand alone fixture for that night so they can't just switch and show another match. So one thing that may have been overlooked in keeping games at Headingley is the Sky factor.

There's already a temporary camera position set up on the North Stand side. Accomodating Sky won't be an issue.
