Phil W Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I noticed the Super League awards, Championship and League One awards all at Headingley. Plus Sky often use it as a base for rugby league including a studio for the French derby. Leeds will get paid for this, but does anyone think this is right? It just seems a bit odd that one club is getting extra income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facilities are great, If other clubs want to host things, they'll have to improve. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeF Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 RL fan criticises RL club for having facilities that can be used for a multitude of events and which create additional income streams. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Wilson Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 The facilities are top class and the money is staying in the game. Fair play to them. 6 @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I'd rather money stays in the game in this way, than say a Football club, but agree it should be shared around between those that have suitable facilities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where should these events be held? One of the main reasons to rebuild the stadium the way they have was to create extra revenue from the facilities, and they are easily the best in RL (or both codes) in this country.

Saints, Warrington have good corporate facilities off the top of my head. I don't see a small hotel as a reason why it has to be at Headingley by any means.

An hotel doesn't make one bit of difference to somewhere holding a corporate event. Warrington and St Helens have places to stay too strangely enough. Are you trying to make out this hotel was blocked booked for this event? Did anyone even stay there? You sound awfully one eyed about this to be honest just because you are a Leeds fan.

No im just pointing out why it may be chosen for these things. Not sure why them being held there seems to ‘trigger’ some people, it’s nothing to do with me being a Leeds fan it’s just pointing why headingley is a good place to hold these events.

Jesus wept, the Leeds persecution complex really is in overdrive this year. It really isn't wrong to share events around those clubs that can host them. Other clubs have invested in their facilities and should reap the rewards of that investment too. You rather strangley seem to have an issue with that.
