  1. I would like to say Bramley to resurrect the club ,but I realise that's not on since LCC destroyed the village and it lost its identity. Hunslet still going ,but similar happened to them . Halifax is still a RL town . I think Halifax
  2. I'm not comfortable about losing our identity and " heritage " NRL? We gave them the game in 1908 .phew just saved my bacon with that correction
  3. That must have been a rare Leeds good performance at boulevard in those day
  4. Not complaining about the publicity Our game is getting, but I'm getting a feeling that NRL is being talked about like NFL .Are we soon going to be owned by the Australian competition and a franchise of the NRL ? Will the new American fans enthusing about our sport be saying NRL is also played in more countries than NFL. Australia has been successful in taking their game to many other countries.
  5. I thought it was a great game both teams put their bodies on the line . Last ditch immense tackling very exciting game . I do with the tribal comments about the ref and just because its Wigan.
  6. I think Leeds Rlfc are in the process of commissioning a statue of that iconic image of Sinfield and Rob Burrow embracing each other .
  7. As a little lad in 1950s not many had TVs and not many had one.not on our estate any way soccer was only on on CUPFINAL day . Rugby league was the only game in town in west Leeds beyond Armley from Bramley over the river Kirkstall Burley road area meanwood woodhouse etc .only thing about football I'd knew about was John Charles going to Juventus etc . Even lads who attended football schools still played RL in streets and the park Headingley just up the Hill Barley Mow up the other hill . We talked about Boston , Bevan ,Jones Stivvy, I remember sitting on the straw in 1957 Leeds 13 Wigan 11 38000 attendance Boston scoring 2 length of field tries . Times change but cherish the memories
  8. It will be interesting to see the attendance for the Leeds wire game if there is a big difference to the other two . I will see two games on the Saturday. If Leeds are doing well and I say that advisedly it could be a bumper crowd and same goes for Wire too .
  9. Well I'm soon going to take the 25 minute bus ride Into town have coffee and bite in Trinity hear all the different regional accents commenting about how much safer they feel than in those other cities to the west and how they are so glad they moved to this fine city .
  10. I love the Leigh folk since 1971 and I know your comment was tongue in cheek, but leigh is closer to everything in the town .I think Bramley station is closer to ER
  11. Yes some of them only come to drunkenly do that silly Mexican wave.
  12. The only Leeds United fans who arent aware of RL are the out of Towners and there are many of them ,but most out and out football fans are descended from Hunslet or Leeds Rl and a bit Bramley.
  13. Well Leeds hasn't got the gang culture that other cities that dont need to mention
  14. After the game if traffic is heavy I'll walk it into town it's not that far . I've done it before only about 3 miles maybe less
  15. Headingley has got the location I.E all the amenities bars restaurants etc and 19.800 capacity it will look full ,but wait what about that bloody wester terrace? Yes but it's high summer great chance it wont rain . Yes ,but the bloody Sun will get in my eyes . Sorry
  16. I'll definitely go on first day .nice to get back to my local
  17. If this is going to be the last magic why not have the last Hurrah at a RL ground at least it would be full at a smaller stadium ?
