I think that is probably the number one thing that let's the ground down. The food offerings are better at Castleford, which is just embarrassing.

I understand that they are limited on beer offerings due to the deal with Carlsberg, and that sponsorship deal has been in place for nearly 30 years now, in one form or another. But it is definitely time to look at alternatives or a split deal when it is up for renewal.

I'd definitely kick the food vendors into touch, though. The food is bad, it is overpriced, and there is no healthy options. They need to bring Wilson's pies back as well.

I can't remember the last time I ate at the stadium, but I have got quiet fond of the burgers at the Ugly Mugs Cafe behind the South Stand on St Michael's Lane. Recommended for pre-game scran.

Couldn't agree more.

We got a chance to give feedback on match days few months back as my partner is disabled and to be fair I just slated them, zero filter.

After the game during the beginning of the season they touted that the SS bar would have interviews, bit of music etc bar open.
They did that for all of two weeks or so leaving myself and my disabled mrs waiting for the crowd to die down in a big empty bar area with nowt going on. They used to at least have the Carnegie bar open so we could wait in the warm previously but thats gone.

Coupled with the disabled toilets fiasco we had to deal with a few times last year I just though stuff it, heres the truth.

I can see why Myler wants to go. He is going to be used as cover if he stays at Leeds, and likely won't get a game unless someone is injured. York have got a real asset, though. Great for them.

But who does that leave in cover at Leeds now Hooley and Myler have gone? Alfie Edgell and Lumb at fullback, and young Sinfield to cover the halves?

From a club point of view, they must be freeing up cap space to make another signing - hopefully a senior prop.

You'd hope there will be some incoming on the back of this. We've just lost cover in two positions.

The Carnegie bar? The cafe place under the East Stand? That’s been open for every game this year.

To be fair, if things aren't right you should tell them. Warts and all. That's the only way they will make a change.

I thought they had interviews after every game. I've definitely seen them grab a player and drag them on the stage for a few minutes. The ones I've stuck about to listen to tend to be brief though, and look like they want to get back to the changing room. Maybe they are finished by the time you get to the concourse?

The music tends to be the same couple of groups before the game. I've not rated any of them, to be honest.

Is the Carnegie Bar (now the Global Cafe Bar?) not open after the game anymore? That's a shame if not. I've not heard anything about the disabled toilets, but I don't have a reason to use them.
