Stadium looked good, but it was bloody cramped. Squashed in like sardines, poor view of the pitch and only one bog open. My prostrate is not a fan.

Smashing stadium shame it looks like Lego bricks but enjoyed the seats and view in South stand.

It was a very good choice of game by whoever picked it for the first game, then we get 2 or 3 more big games coming up in the next few weeks. 

Yes, the 'pick of the round' format looks a winner. Should be even better next Monday.

Should have come in the South Stand ...... plentiful and luxurious

Fev were well worth the win, but still a lot to come for me (poor kicking, and quite a few handling errors tonight). For the Knights, we sorely lacked a second half-back but I was most disappointed in our inability to hold parity in field position, and that our forwards didn't make more of an impression....

Hope it looked good on the screen - highest attendance of the round for a Monday night (televised) game !

Looked amazing ....well done all involved

Lego brick seat effects are all the rage. Breaks up empty seating....it works well

Thought the coverage was very good by Premier Sports, much better than Sky's coverage of Super League.

ANY way it's time to forget about the result instead what about the tackle

Just in from watching the game live. Decent effort from York, I thought, against opposition who will be too fast for most in the middle division. Watchable game. On the way out, I overheard a couple of complaints about Pauli Pauli's contribution. Official attendance announced as 3,602. Interesting to see, in the media area, an empty seat marked Martyn Sadler.

As it happened I was accredited for the game but felt unwell on Monday and thought it best not to go just in case I had the dreaded virus. Today I've discovered that I haven't, but it's best to be cautious, although it's a great shame I wasn't there.

And here's my comment on Twitter to that effect.

Good to hear, Martyn, you've sidestepped Covid. Enjoy tackling your next live match!

Made up for missing two easy lay offs to runners earlier in the game that would have been tries. Overall he went well though....wish we still had him

Pretty good play-by-plat commentary on the telecast too.  Who is that commentator anyway?

Why he's not Sky's guy is an utter mystery.

Did they rip them out like at LSV?

or was it Leeds didn't think it would be advisable to introduce him in to the British game just yet?

yeah, just like Leeds somehow never played Cam King or Nu Brown despite all the knowing predictions from the shroods on here...

He’s outstanding, really good commentary. Knowledgeable but hands off to pundits at right time and really gets excited. More of him please!

Was looking forward to seeing the presentation of this match on Freeview as much as the game. Tuned in last night at 10pm but nothing. Searched Freeview for RL and nothing so far. Where have I gone wrong?
