Anyone know why?

Maintenance innit.

Have they got a safety certificate yet?

Poor form from the rhinos on this one. Robs big money maker/only chance to see the first time squad b4 season kicks off.

Dont worry though it'll be open for kick an clap a week later



I wonder which would have got the higher att if it was open?

Why, probably cost more to open it than it takes in gate receipts.

Poor form indeed.

According to club it was maintenance planned all along. Surely if that was the case they'd have announced it as being closed when tickets went on sale? Knowing they had this game on surely if it was planned it would be timed better to avoid next Friday? I smell a rat!

I would have thought there would be a decent crowd on friday, prob more then the tykes would bring in!

I don't think it will affect the attendance. I'm going to take the chance to watch the game from the relative comfort of the Carnegie stand seats.

I assume you didn't attain a GCSE in Maths?

He's an accountant......

Oh the irony.

I assume you have personal hygiene issues.

Why are we sharing our personal assumptions about posters btw?

Work appears to going on at the two areas affected by safety issues at the moment. When I spoke to one of the "suits" at the ground today he said the areas were undergoing remedial work and the entire South Stand would be open for the Hull.k.R game.

Including both corners?if thats the case we may be stuck with the old girl for longer than we thought

All the work was going on in both corners, the "suit" said both areas would be open for the first league game (H.K.R). I'm chuffed to be honest, I think the old stand is a lot more atmospheric that what the downsized version would have been. I know there's a few stanchions that can impede your view but it has an atmosphere all of its own now most of the other clubs have soulless identikit stadiums.

Agreed if all we are going to get is a smaller paler imitation,then why not strengthen and improve what weve got?

The Manly team will not have encountered anything as intimidating in their careers when they run out for the W.C.C. The Aussies always say how much more vocal and passionate English grounds are compared to the ones back in Oz, just wait till they run out in front of a sell out headingley and a packed South stand.

So we now await to see if the capacity is raised to what it was

Probably a shade under.

Slightley OT but does anyone know if the supporters club is open friday night?

Av a word with your sen man, intimidating for god sake the south stand is full of spotty virgins that sing pathetic childish songs many stolen from leeds utd, you wouldnt intimidate an U12s team let alone the aussie champs

You've met Lawrie Lee then?

Having watched NRL games live down under, and watched many on TV, I can definetly see the WCC game been the best atmosphere that most of the Aussies will have ever encountered.

Every 20 minutes, someone on the Mic on pitch side shouts "come on lets make some noise" etc.

CARRYON!So where exactly do you come from them MUSH?

Irrelevant were i come from, if you think the south stand is intimidating your very much mistaken, that wont change if im from mars or venus
