Good excuse

Thats what I said, three quarters of a stand in what is it 70 odd years?

So you bag us for having a council run ( not paid for, all grant funded ) stadium, then use the excuse your council wont build anything for you

Some would say ' Iconic '

, some would say old and outdated

LSV is a soulless and drab stadium, no 2 ways about it

US ? Be good to see you if you come to Dewsbury on Sunday.

My apologies to Leeds fans for using your message board for trying to get a former Leigh Director to start watching the best Leigh side in 30 seasons in Championship games again.

Subscribe to Centurions TV and watch our games this season I think you will realise that your comment is wrong.

If you come down and get my garden sorted this week frank, I'll come to Dewsbury

Leeds have spent more on their stadium in the SL era than any club other than St Helens. And that includes Warrington.

Much of the ground is still a band-aid job though.

WRT the South Stand... [url=http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/leeds-rhinos/leeds-rhinos-famous-south-stand-in-closure-threat-1-3722005Is it safe?[/url

I don't think that's what I said - you seem to be having a difficulty interpreting my post. When I said "... Leeds City Council pulled the financial plug on their contribution", what I meant was the financial contribution that Leeds City Council where to give was pulled. I hope that's clear for you now.

What I didn't say was that the "council wont build anything for us". When an investor pulls out at the last minute it's difficult to instantly get another investor to fill their boots. This is the way when you own and maintain your own stadium, something you don't have to worry about when you're simply tenants, renting your facility.

Anyway paint it whatever colour you want - I know which stadium I'd rather be stood in come game nights.

Better than a Eunuch .Charlie knows

Im intrigued at which quarter of the Carnegie Stand doesn’t exist? Is it the bottom quarter? because that seems dangerous

West stand isn’t ever going to be massively renovated, there is no point and no reason it would ever be cost-effective. The North Stand needs to be done with YCC so that’s a fairly complicated job. The Southstand will be done soon, when the club can get the Southstand they want not the one they were allowed to build at that time.

That’s the difference between Leeds and some of the less well run clubs, they don’t have to make short-term fire fighting decisions, then can take the time they need to secure the right long term ones.

Glad you lot don't like Headingley because you won't have to visit it again for many, many years.

I and would have thought most Leigh fans think Headingley is a great RL ground and on TV always sounds like a fantastic atmosphere, don't tar us all with the same brush LeedsDave. Oh and go easy on us when we play you.

Substandard IQ levels generally remain constant on this forum.

Leigh fans by plenty

They do, although I anticipate a rise of a few percent with Wimbledon just around the corner and YCC's season in full swing.

OTOH, the average IQ on the VT shall sink to a depths previously uninhabited.

We can all be thankful we aren't Australian I suppose.

Leeds by 60, you look the best I have ever seen you this year and we have a far more important game a few days later v Fax
Would love to come back with a better chance in a couple of years time though, enjoy your team as that back line looks special and peacock simply isn't human

Given how much the club spent on it two years ago you would think so wouldn't you.

last time I went to Headingley, was Bramley v Leigh when Garry Shcofield was playing for them...GOOD GRIEF ! (we won that game)

I remember that, we gave him some stick too !! Mike Ford Coach ?

Anyway, back to topic. Headingley one of my favourite grounds and even though we lost, Leigh did not do too bad last time we played there I think.

Was it a 42-24 defeat in 2005 ? It was 24-24 for a good while.

Time before that was 1993 I think. We lost in the last 5 mins (think it snowed !)

If Leigh keep them below 50, they would have done really well. Would be nice to see us score a few points too.

It was 42-24 in 2005. Leeds decided they only had to turn up to chalk up another 50+ margin victory but it didn't turn out that way. I recall one of your Kolpak Stiffs back then (Leafa?) jinking past Mathers with ease to score under the sticks.

Mathers would develop that turnstile routine of his into sheer perfection a couple of months later in the CC Semi against Toulouse when Sebastian Raguin breezed past him without offering to pay the admission.

2005 was another season where Leeds received no luck whatsoever in any of the CC draws. They were presented with the tough assignment of Warrington, Pia and London all at home followed by Toulouse in the Semi at Huddersfield. Basically, a free pass all the way to the CC Final itself. Unfortunately, they had to face whipping boy SL rabble at Cardiff which was a step too far.

If Leigh keep them below 50, they would have done really well. Would be nice to see us score a few points too.'"

Was a funny night at Headingley, Leeds built up a 3 score lead then Ashley Klien ' pinged ' them for forward passes in 3 consequtive sets ,all of a sudden their game fell apart, Sinfield was throwing the passes that deep they were going in touch

We pulled three score back and were pressing to take the lead when McGuire pulled of an interception to get them back on track, that settled them enough to be comfortable for the last 20 minutes

That was the season the fixture computer planned us to play 2 weeks running.
