I think we all need to remember that the Coaches were hugely discounted by the club at the price of £2.50 each way for S/T holders

You having a laugh? In all the times I've been to the different incarnations of their stadium, I've never had any issues getting to and from the ground. Different story at Headingley though.

But I'm not about to get involved in the dick measuring contests going on between the Wigan and Leeds fans on here. If they want to do that, take it to the effin' VT.

I certainly didn't bring this up as a pop at the coaches, drivers, coach companies or the club. It was a great and very much appreciated gesture by the club to offer discounted travel and I'm sure it resulted in far more fans being at the game than would otherwise of been the case.

Did the RFL take the fact that there's a test match taking place at Headingley into consideration when organising fixtures?? I was going to go on Friday but, I don't think I'll bother now

The sky/RFL axis are not really bothered who & how many turn up to games ,they are quite happy with sky revenue & as such are not really bothered how many fans they inconvenience & annoy with there strange scheduling.

Of course it is , had a conversation with someone and didn't question it , I feel such a fool

I think Headingly looks like a tired old ground now rather than a nice traditional one. But it wouldn't take much to change that. Look at the Carnegie Stand.

Some new safety regs, get rid of the posts that block views and upgrade/modernise the other three stands/roofs and it'll be a cracking stadium.

...for Leeds home games that is. It'll be great for Leeds fans and 2000 travelling away fans. But with the infrastructure around the ground it isn't a place for 13000 travelling fans from other towns on a large number of coaches and cars for semifinals.

On the train to Leeds 'ere. Looking forward to the match tonight with no travel issues experienced so far or expected...
