2025 Attendance Thread

Is that why they look to be relocating to Halifax which is a true RL town ? -
The RL historians on here please correct me if I'm wrong . The west riding area went NU /RL as opposed to foot all in the mid late 19th century . There were 3 RL clubs in the city and one mediocre football club .in the 50s as a very small boy the only thing I knew about Leeds united was John Charles I was taken to ER a couple of times it seemed miles away and although we used to play both soccer and RL in street Headingley was at the top of the Hill and Barley Mow top of hill other way .apparently Leeds United used get average crowds more than Leeds rl ,but Hunslet used to have a decent fan base and Bramley too . A few old Wigan fans on here will remember the 1st round of RL cup 1961 38000 at Headingley same week 8000 at Elland road that was when they were struggling relegation. What I'm saying is Leeds was a RL city because football was late at the table in the area

Probably but this project is hoped to be finished in 2030 and it's still only in the pipeline. The new O T might be built before then -
