No, are you really that short sighted?

How could funding a new stadium with community facilities, regenerating an otherwise wasteland area, be described as anything but for the "benefit of the town"? I'm sure there's much more profitable ventures elsewhere that do not benefit the town at all which they could invest in instead?

Yeah its solid. I'd expect Wakey to hope to beat that 7.5k mark going forwards in future seasons.

They're a decent side but I hope Leeds have enough especially at home. Leigh are probably the best of the middle pack of clubs at the moment, and that was a solid contest between two sides in that pack today.

Yeah I think Leeds at Headingley are another level this year, or at least they can be. A win would also see Leeds cement themselves in the top 3 whereas a loss would see us drop into that middling pack a bit more, which will be a big motivator too. Should be spicy at least!

Certainly sets up Leeds vs Leigh in a fortnight!

Perhaps worth being on here and other threads, over 8k in for the Womens Cup Final at Wembley, and an average viewership around 250k too. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/challenge-cup-final-viewing-figures-revealed-as-hull-kr-v-warrington-wolves-thriller-wins-big-for-bbc

Easily. And with that the whole conversation around the Giants would change.

Its definitely the sort of atmosphere the club should aspire to and what other clubs use to their benefit every week.

Dynamic pricing strikes again!

Its actually the Juventus Model

Absolutely, get them a ground like York has and it would be ideal. Imagine if they had been in that a decade or so ago in the league leaders shield winning times.

Indeed, I thought that was remarkably good for Huddersfield this year. Hopefully it had some energy around it despite the result and can really get the aspirations for a more appropriately sized ground in Huddersfield realised!

I'm pretty confident now that we are in the top 4 sides in the League; but for slim losses to KR at home, and Saints and Warrington away we'd be even more convincing in that position. We're really growing well and as you say a settled (and fully fit) spine is helping massively. If we can take at least 6 of 8 points out of our next 4 fixtures too I genuinely think its game on come October.

Whisper it quietly but Leeds are building stronger and stronger throughout the year. Very very tough to beat at home, building on the platform of a superb physical effort. BA has been marvellous for this team.

I don't I'm asking you as I understand you know more? If it is just semantics then what is the point of a CBS!

Thats fine, but in this case they weren't doing that they were joining a community benefit society. Is that not a different arrangement?

There's lots out there on google. Key to this for me is that fan/members were actually part of a community benefit society not a "traditional" small shareholding arrangement? Surely that changes things.

Championship and League 1 they have had in before so would expect again. I don't think they've ever had French domestic teams in, and would have thought they would have made more of a shout about it if they were included. Sadly.

Yeah hadn't noticed that. I expect most NRL teams to be in the 80s with Origin and Kangaroos closer to 90s. I wonder if any rogue fully licensed international sides will be in this one too. I remember the Czechs and Canadians were in the last game on launch but the likes of France and Wales weren't!

It quite literally is the definition of parochialism.

Whilst it would be disruptive it also offers the most potential reward too. I agree there are easier ways to simply up the capacity though
