Craven Streat is presumably doing wonders for HXR’s cash flow and certainly offers a different experience to literally every other ground since Toronto. Understand your frustration given your lot were the only ones who were allocated tickets on an oil rig, but it seems to work out for every other game. Yes you are correct in where you understand the Well to be. It’s only got about 7/8 rows of very narrow terracing with a dreadful rake and quite a significant space in front of it, even after the pitch was widened. Would think there is tonnes of scope to build an entirely new stand in that space without affecting the existing structure (other than potentially the pitch-facing lounges). I reckon the views from the main stand offers one of the best perspectives in RL for what it’s worth.

Tbf if seems that they’re doing plenty for fans at the Rotterdam End. The one area that seems prime for improvement but never seems to be on the radar is The Well. Plenty of room to build a decent stand or terrace with a decent rake (most importantly) and without affecting the existing structure.

ABK stein spotted in Barnsley on Friday night but no sign of it on draught

Moylan can stay where he is, seems to be working quite well. I’ll happily give Hardaker a lift to a final destination of his choosing.

BBC Sport website headlines the game as a “classic”. Not sure I’d go as far as that, but it was pretty enthralling stuff on the whole. Cas absolutely deserved something from the game for their comeback late on and a point apiece was more than fair, even if it did take 10 minutes of nonsense to get there. At 28-22 you could just see Leigh’s heads were down and overall lacking some leaders to be brutally honest, and the Cas equalising try felt inevitable in that sense. Took some nuts to land the kick, too, fair play.

Tbf with some of the motorway diversions I’m pretty sure I’ve ended up virtually in Sheffield

The current ground would hold 10,000 if it was an NRL ground! It could easily be developed in to a much larger capacity with the banking in place already, but as always finance would be likely to be the issue. Current one is surely in a much better location than where the new one is planned, but others will know better than me on that one.

Doesn’t need to be anywhere near as Magnum PI as that. Each club is legally obliged to be able to provide the attendance and ticket sales, and the RFL already routinely receive this information every week via the ground safety officers.

Get bed lad

Cos Spurs have already surrendered most of there free weeks

Tbh the theory of super clubs (and indeed franchises in its various forms) has that as a very real possibility Manchester, London, Paris, a merged Hull club and whatever else yet Wigan and Saints were unaffected and taking up two spots

As a Leigh RL fan, I pretty much disregard it. EFL incompetence also means I’ll be at Leigh v Cas after all! (been out boozing in Peterborough all day today with a Giants fan who I am sure you and @meast will know. And I’ve got to get him a ticket for the play offs on Friday!)

Utd can’t play on that weekend because they can’t guarantee that they only play on the Saturday. But the local area is basically on lockdown from the Friday so they’d do well if they played at home that weekend unless they weed in exceptional circumstances.

I don’t do a bad ‘un, Roy, you know that!

The key is getting in early enough with the football clubs before they’ve already used up their allotted 7 shifts Old Trafford are pretty well versed on the Grand Final being one of those (if it isn’t an international weekend) along with Manchester Marathon, but the others would need to be a sharp shift, particularly Spurs with their NFL commitments.
