The winner of the Leeds Saints game will be favourites for the cup. But thats the good thing about the cup, Favourites count for nothing.

If the clubs had some balls they would play it at Elland Road, if Leeds FC aren't playing there.

Or you could always switch the tie to St Helens. Our ground is free of unwanted guests:wink:

Are you privy to Massimo Cellinno's plans and intention's ?wow they will be upset I will miss this by a few days coming home for the pies game.Leeds are drawn at home and they have proper sized goal posts .Leeds once played at E R in a big game and used Hunslet's goal post's and Hunslet won the title.

Large problem. BBC already have there slot announced for Saturday 26th April 2PM, Leeds Carnegie are at home that day in their last game of the season, cannot be changed due to being last game apparently. Unless BBC want to play ball and have this game on, they'll have to change the slot time.

Leeds RUFC will move to South Leeds or Otley or somewhere. There is no question of them interfering with the primary users of the stadium.

Guess sky will take up their option to screen a game?

Put it one way i'm more confident playing Leeds at Headingley than i was playing Huddersfield away. I hate us playing the Giants, even when they was only just coming good under Brown they always made life difficult for us.

Large problem? That's no problem at all. Leeds Carnegie have an average crowd of 2000 and will be at home to a team from Penzance in a game that irrelevant to the league because the 4 teams in the play-offs are already decided. (I didn't know this, not caring about Union but looked it up).

Rather than miss BBC exposure for Leeds, the RU side can be shifted to Otley or Harrogate or wherever, where I'm sure they'll be happier anyway.

This would have to be in agreement with the RFU, Carnegie & Cornish Pirates aswell as they have plans in place for the game already.

Re: Next round... : Mon Apr 07, 2014 8:44 am  

They could just play a doubleheader, as Harlequins RU and RL did a few years ago at the Stoop. (Was the RL game v Saints?)
