Not forgetting folks that the previous list was incomplete as it didn't include all SL seasons, only those where Leeds have finished ahead on the Attendance League table in response to Soprano's point re Leeds United.

Here therefore is the complete list for Leeds over the SL Era: +/=#FF0000- % on previous season

1996 ….. 12(11) ….. 8,581 …..
1997 ….. 12(11) ….. 10,998 ….. 28%
1998 ….. 12(11) ….. 12,164 ….. 11%
1999 ….. 14(15) ….. 13,482 ….. 11%
2000 ….. 12(14) ….. 12,674 ….. =#FF0000-6%
2001 ….. 12(14) ….. 12,881 ….. 2%
2002 ….. 12(14) ….. 12,157 ….. =#FF0000-6%
2003 ….. 12(14) ….. 12,846 ….. 6%
2004 ….. 12(14) ….. 16,028 ….. 25%
2005 ….. 12(14) ….. 17,012 ….. 6%
2006 ….. 12(14) ….. 15,677 ….. =#FF0000-8%
2007 ….. 12(13) ….. 17,558 ….. 12%
2008 ….. 12(13) ….. 17,043 ….. =#FF0000-3%
2009 ….. 14(13) ….. 15,774 ….. =#FF0000-7%

__________
With only Les Catalans still to visit Headingley:

2010 ….. 14(13) ….. 15,372 ….. =#FF0000-3%

A steady decline year on year since Coach McClennan took over from Coach Smith.

no problem with the ban,he deserved it. my anger is the fact you see others get away with shocking 'tackles' with only a letter issued. you see shockers week in week out with nothing done.
i'm all for stronger discipline but you need consistency

Why should he?

I think the Cas lot will love it.

She looks like that scary women from the 80s who didn’t do too well in this part of the country..

If there is a bright side it wouldnt of cost much in petrol

In a perverse way I think it might have been better for us and Carl had he being sent off.

That and has previous record might have seen him get a 'sending off sufficient'?

I've thought for some time now that disciplinary action and the length of any ban depends on whether or not the 'incident' was during a live Sky game and how the commentators react to the 'incident' which usually has a direct corrolation to how much public outcry there is amongst RL fans to the 'incident'

I think Carl had no chance of reducing his ban such was the public outcry to the 'incident'

Personally I thought it was a bad challenge that probably looked a lot worse than it was and given that Ganson was in charge and how he's never afraid to show the red card,I said straight away to our group that he was going to get sent off.

I look forward to the next bad looking 'incident' on sky to see how Stevo & Co react and what public outcry results

you are right, why havn't more Leeds whinos been disciplined like Keith Senior and Ryan Bailey and many others over time ???????????????????????????

Any chance of getting that in English rather than Uggggggg?

Justice prevails.

Which makes a change.

Lets hope it prevails the next time O'loughlin or Tompkins hit someone high or late or the latter drops with his knees in the tackle.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Come back when you have a quarter of the honours won by the most famous Rugby Club in the world.
What did Sinfield say tonight. Leeds had gone thirty something years without winning a major trophy.

That will never be said about Wigan.

When you get anywhere near this please post again.

I've seen Wigan win more in my lifetime than Leeds have won in their entire history

That's fantastic, no really. But that had no relevance to his comment, and also none of your current team have any achievements in a Wigan shirt as of yet.

Yes Rouges all bought and paid for by mr lindsey not a wigan youngster to be found anywhere near the first team in the ninties, sorry maybe a couple !! oh and sorry a team of antipodeans as usua pretty similar to the way it is going now.

Just review the rhinos acadamy winning 3 grand finals on the trot something wigan will only ever dream off !!!!!!

Edited for accuracy.

Still clinging to the past glories of an unequal comp and brown bags full of notes changing hands!
Oh and comeback when you have'nt disgraced our great sport with sly and underhand methods of cheating the system.
As proud as your history is it's still tarnished by that slimeball Lyndsay and his lack of honesty.

It's good to see primary school is out for summer.

Ellery Hanley, Lee Crooks, Gary Schofield, Shaun Wane, Andy Gregory, Alan Tait etc etc.
How much did they cost you?

What did they win with Leeds?

We've just won 3 in a row and you're banging on about our old players!

Still can't remember Leeds having to go, cap-in-hand, to a major supermarket and sell off their greatest asset because they'd mortgaged their future, by spending more than they could generate.

Does your "lifetime of watching Wigan" include the reasons for the introduction of the salary cap?

A bit out of character for you is that one Roguey.

One thing I've never seen in my lifetime of watching Leeds is them suffer the ignominy of being relegated. How about you with Wigan?

That would be why he's qualified to comment now then.



He spoke the truth. He didn't say what you just put.



Judging by the honours page you've linked to how many Championships did Wigan win between 1960 and 1987? Not quite the 32 years Sinfield spoke of but close enough to put your 'never' comment in perspective.

In terms of the Championship it's currently another 11 years and counting and despite good league form so far, the play-offs haven't even begun yet let alone concluded and while you perhaps have already decided the outcome, losses already this season to St Helens, Warrington and even Leeds shows it's still all to play for and that will be on the night.

Leeds have been remarkable underachievers throughout our history. That is undeniable. Why that has any relevance to this season or the last 10 years I've no idea.

What is interesting is that after a fair few years in the wilderness, Wigan appear to be well and truly on course to challenge for major honours again. A great thing in itself. Sadly its also bringing out the Wigan fans who seem to assume that the last 10 years or so have somehow been a blip between periods of absolute Wigan dominance.

Back on topic, I do hope that Ablett's ban signals that the Disciplinary is going to get tougher (and more consistent) on foul play generally. Whilst Nathan Brown's comments earlier this year came across as a bit hysterical, his basic point about thuggish play (particularly directed at playmakers) being more tolerated in SL than the NRL is correct.

Or when Senior kicks out in the tackle, or Bailey leads with the knees... or any kind of dirty play really.

Thought it went without saying, but obviously not.

And as a big city we have other sporting teams that vie for the publics attention, Leeds Utd, Leeds Carnegie, Hunslet, Bramley, and Farsley Celtic (when solvent)among others. Plus the small matter of just because you live in Leeds, doesnt mean you support Leeds.
