I know ST holders get to use their tickets and I see there will be free buses but I can't imagine we'll get the bar takings etc and I'd be interested to know what rates the Rhinos will be charging us (I can't believe it will be gratis)? I believe it a looser for us, and it should be the bulls home game that gets switched. Sad about this negativity. Think this is a great plan. Sounds like rhinos given us a good deal and it’s something different. Got to feel for those trying to change things up at the rams. Next thing you’ll know people will be wanting winter rugby again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the deal that we have been offered at Leeds gives us more net income than playing at home? What if it gives us more than the Bulls playing at ours? 10% of a lot is better than 100% of nowt!! We really need to trust that MS will not make decisions that are not in the Rams best interests!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddyfunster Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I just believe that it should be the Bulls who forfeit the home game (by this I mean income) and cover costs, as theres no real playing advantage, for this one. Afterall the Tetleys stadium is the permanent home of our Rams not the other way round. Okay I don't know the facts of the deal, but like BSJ said playing into the hands of the conspiracy theorists. I'm one in that case and it stinks! The future's bright, the future's RED AMBER & BLACK! http://www.jmgaskets-seals.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have been on the bottle!! Oh and a Friday night in january to start the season!! As a traditionalist (you know, play a game on a Saturday from September to April with three points for a try and two points for any goal) I dislike the squad number system and now, the golden point. It wouldn’t be so bad if the system outlawed the drop goal for the ten minute period. Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therein73 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Will the Rams North Stand season ticket holders be guaranteed a seat at Headingley ??? (for the Dewsbury game, at least) Hope it's more enjoyable than the last time we played Bradford at Headingley.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silcoates Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Dews.are a club holding on to their champ, spot by their finger tips. So we give away our home advantage. Bradford will be laughing and Leeds ,of all clubs will make the money ,Dewsbury will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield Ram Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Let's make the assumption that MS knows what he's doing. He might just have done the calculation that the share of the gate from the Rhinos match plus the rent from staging the Bulls v Rams "away" game at Dewsbury was worth more than the other way round. It's the same game at Ram Stadium either way, but if the Bulls are at "home", we can charge them rent. So as it stands, we get gate share from the Rhinos plus rent from Bradford for the "away" game. Might be wrong but one thing MS isn't, is financially ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or stress on a ref who thinks nowt on given a penalty for offside in the twentieth minute of a game underneath the posts then thinks twice in the first minute of golden point. But at least getting a point out of it lessens the disappointment of sudden death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
