Headingley always boasted the tallest posts in RL
I got a different view of the ground last night from Carnegie Upper, and unless Ive missed something seemed new (with little plastic pennants on top rather than the golden finnials) and seemed even bigger and wobblier than before. They are virtually as high as the stand roof
Is this the case or have I not been observant? If new, any idea how big?

Well, now they play RU there the posts are extraordinarily important.

Funny you should say that. They're identical to the ones at Hull RUFC's ground, right down to the dinky little plastic pennants on the top,Well, now they play RU there the posts are extraordinarily important.

You can't have a million pound RU pitch and short ars ed RL sticks now can you.
Integrity is shown when no-one is looking.

Flipiing 'eck. The new season has started! Enough with "oo, aren't those posts tall" talk. Talk about important things like what the refs are wearing.

The old ones were taken down when the pitch was relaid and new, taller (I believe) posts were put in place.

It's January. The weather in Leeds for the last 4 weeks has been horrific. It looked better than Saints pitch anyway.

Everton don't they? TBF I can't see any pitch in the north of England being in top condition for the next month anyway.

The new posts are satisfactorily huge. But those little flag things are totally naff and pointless.

Indeed, presumably the old ones had to be sawn off or something.
I can't believe preseason is over and we're still getting threads about the new posts at Headingley.
Astute analysis from a Wigan fan:
Rumour going around Headingley that Wire will have to play the second half with 12 men.
It seems that they forgot to bring the half time oranges, and Solomona ate Chris Bridge instead.
Don't know why he was hungry, as he looked as though he had eaten the whole youth team before the game started.

Seem to remember that the tallest posts in RL used to be at Station Road, Swinton - didn't they end up at Eccles ARL when the ground was demolished?
