Probably and it was the best game I have seen for quite some time as well, but the England v Kiwi game was not far off... and of course the crowd would be smaller so the RFL will not agree with you.

The 24-0 New Zealand win in the 2005 final had 26,534 there.

I know, I was there, but if Frosties is correct, and he is usually, then we are almost certainly way above that figure already. What is the capacity minus the top tier 33 to 35k?

id be amazes if the RFl sell the £30 and £40 tickets out, only then would there be a reason to open the top tier, id also assume its too late to open it now

Well Frosties seems to think that they are sold out and I have a £40 ticket (which of course was £30) so not sure.

As I understand it the issue with the top-tier is the safety certificate and public liability insurance premium cost, with the insurance being the biggest thing. Leeds Utd have not bothered because the overall yearly premium is not worth (given they don't need it) it but getting this sorted for this or any other big Leeds Utd one off games is fine.

Good game that. I was there. The year before GB v Australia had over 40k there didn't it?

So was I, with John_D, Puig-Aubert and Andy Gilder winding up some Aussies who were around us as we were shouting for the Kiwis. Was a quality day out that as we'd been on the lash in Leeds all afternoon as well for good measure.

has the ref been announced or are they still bickering?

answering my own question

Apparently, Leeds are trying there best to get hold of a safety certificate for the game. They are only allowed a certain amount of games on the certificate, which is reserved for the big ones, hense why Charlton the top tier was not open.

The forecast is for heavy rain. I may be clutching at straws but that should help us. What ever the weather we are going to have to play out of our skins to win the game. But hey I'm an optimistic sort of person I tip us for a shock win and the start of the comeback towards a bit of parity.

Did you see the the Aussie Olympic comittee are using our model to try and ensure that they win more gold medals in the next games. English/British sport is on the up. Why not RL as well?

Oh indeed it was.

All together now...

"You all work in a Walkabout bar...."

Is this just a regular service? Or one of the specials?

Eh?

It's one of the busiest roads in and out of Leeds joining the motorway exits to the city centre loop.

Dear God




I thought someone would have got the The Specials reference

If you were known for being a sharp,witty and funny poster Loz maybe some of us would of twigged!!

have you not seen my other posts today?

comedy genius mode im in today

I've just seen the "robin" reference to the st helens spotlight and did chuckle so i'll give yer that!

Andy, they always go from there for Elland Road and have done for as long as I can remember. It is so they can turn right by KMPG and come back round under the arches to pick up again.

I know, I was responding to what turned out to be an attempt at humour from Loz.

Arghh, sorry, now don't I look like the nob!

Yeah thats what I thought. The special service moved for the WCC though didn't it, is it back under the train station?
