Hopping Mad Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I see YCKL are part of the inaugural women's Super League season. It appears some of the teams will play a few of their games as curtain-raisers to men's fixtures. Any plans to do the same at York? YCKL's opening game, against Castleford Ladies, is on April 22, potentially the same afternoon as the York City Knights-Catalans Dragons Challenge Cup tie. Seems like a great opportunity to promote women's rugby league by playing the two matches back-to-back at Bootham Crescent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many reasons Bootham Crescent isn't suitable for 21st century sporting events sadly. http://www.alldesignandprint.co.uk Printing & Graphic Design with Nationwide Service Programmes | Leaflets | Cards | Banners & Flags | Letterheads | Tickets | Magazines | Folders | Brand Identity plus much more Official Matchday Programme Print & Design Partner to York City Knights, Heworth ARLFC, York Acorn RLFC & Hunslet RLFC Official Player Sponsor of Marcus Stock for the 2020 Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some way round the limited dressing room space surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopping Mad Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Have to say I knew nothing of this new women's Super League until, a couple of weeks ago, stumbling across interviews with the captains of Bradford and Featherstone, two of YCKL's rivals in 2018. They featured - very impressively, I thought - during the last hour of BBC Radio Leeds's Sunday afternoon RL programme, which I caught driving back to York from the Sheffield-Toronto game. Both women indicated Bradford and Featherstone would play at least some of their games as curtain-raisers to Bulls/Rovers fixtures. Do Odsal and Post Office Road have (at least) four dressing rooms?

davet Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I presume YCK Ladies will also benefit from the new community stadium and have their matches there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
