Headingley has become the glorified stadium that RL has been asking for for years. The atmosphere isn’t there as it used to be when it was old fashioned, which is a fact from us all. The other thing is it will constantly bring money into the club with the games being played there.

Last season we had a majority of super league games played behind closed at headingley, then this year we have the same, with us having the Quarter Finals of the Challenge cup. No announcement of where the semi finals will be yet but would not be surprised if they was at headingley again, which is more money in the clubs pockets. They’ve also got the women’s super league grand final at headingley.

I personally wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being the England RL base in the future too.

Granted the atmosphere isn't as good as it used to be but it was pretty decent at times since it opened. The dwyer drop goal it seemed to be bouncing.

Think the wakey match will be close. We have the forwards. They have the backs. Hoping for a Leeds win but have a feeling Wakefield by 2 scores

Injury report basically confirms that Gale and Eastmond will be back for the one which is huge for us, makes a huge difference to the squad. Also says no news on the injury for Alex Sutcliffe so I’m not expecting him back this week.

The club chose money over atmosphere.

We just have to accept that the atmosphere has gone forever and move on.

The Wakey game is being streamed on YouTube by the way. Fantastic news!

Just another reason to knock the club.

Get the best stadium in British RL and our fans still criticise the club. What a fanbase.

This.
The ground and the stands well 3 of them look superb and full credit to the club.
But the atmosphere isn`t as good unless its down to how bad they have been playing when crowds were allowed to watch.
If the team gets better we might see the SS rocking again.
We can only hope.

Pretty much what I think with Sutcliffe and Hurrell swapping sides at centre.

Remember plenty of flat days before the ground was reconstructed. As you say, there has not been much to shout about since the new stands were completed. Winning team will turn up the volume.

"The club chose money over atmosphere" isnt a criticism of the club?
