i watched Hunslet beat Swinton at Sedgley last year - they looked a well organised outfit with March taking total control of the game. From what I have heard, they've been strong at the start of this year too. Seems that at least one SL team slips up against a Championship club each year - so I don't think it will be easy...

I've organised charity football matches at that stadium for the last 3 years. Can get quite a nice little atmosphere in that stand.... and I've had around 1,000 people for each game... so full...it could get pretty noisy.

It's a nice little set up... big dressing rooms so the players will be comfortable... Nice bar there too... In fact, there are 3 bars there... one set out like a pub, the other 2 are more along the lines of function rooms leading straight out onto the stand... but I'm not sure whether they will be open.

Not sure what the match day parking will be like as the car park at the stadium itself is normally restricted for those using the facilities (members I guess). There are large car parks within a couple of mins walking distance.

Looking forward to seeing us play there.

can't be too far from Leeds rail station methinks?

No chance they'll reverse the fixture with their stadium only holding 2450?? Will be going either way, hopefully it will stay at theirs but I'd imagine they'll be looking at receiving money if it was at ours wouldn't they? 50/50 split in cup games?

I wouldn't worry I doubt it'll be even nearly full, they've averaged 492 in their first 4 games (2 Northern Rail Cup, 1 Challenge Cup, admittedly against Warrington Wizards, & 1 league)in a pre season friendly against Leeds they got 932, so we'll be lucky if there's 1,500 in there. Not knocking Hunslet just thought I'd mention it.

Our away following didn't manage to sell out Moor Lane when we played Swinton there so I doubt the capacity will really be tested. Don't really know what the financial incentives are foe teams with regards to gates in these rounds with season ticket holders getting in free - there may well be more non-season ticket holders (between both clubs) attend the game over there than at the Willows.

About a 15 min bus ride. IIRC it's the number 12 or 13 bus that you can get from near the station & it drops you right by the ground.

Good Draw, ill be going

Hopefully we can smoke them!

Yeah it's walkable but takes around 45 minutes from the station, however this does take you past The Grove, www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/42740/, one of the best ale pubs in Leeds but out of the way for Headingley visits. It is a nice little stadium, but does have the dreaded running track between the stadium and pitch. One main bar at the back of the stand, very few other bars in the immediate vicinity though. It'd be walking distance for me if I wasn't doing the Leeds half-marathon that morning

Consider Halifax's predicament: Bradford have 10,000+ season ticket holders alone. Will there be [iany[/i gate money?

Rather not dont like heights!

According to the 'fishul website, it's all Smartcard holders, so presumably this covers both categories...




[iSouth Leeds Stadium[/i

Looking at that overhead where do you park? There isn't many spaces

Chance for Reds to check out their Challenge Cup opponents next Thursday as Hunslet are on TV, at home to Dewsbury, on SKY Sports.

Challenge Cup Ticket Information

[iSalford City Reds Season Ticket holders and Members are reminded that they are entitled to free entry to the Reds' Carnegie Challenge Cup Round 4 Fixture at Hunslet Hawks on Sunday May 8th.

Fans are advised they do not have to collect a ticket from The Willows and entry will be gained into the South Leeds Stadium on production of your Smartcard at the venue, and will be directed to the correct entrance upon arrival.[/i

looks something like the plans for Swinton's Stadium and all weather pitches at Agecroft

[iWe all know it can be 'iffy' to rest players but I feel we have a few player carrying knocks and it would not suprise me if our head-coach decides to give young Spencer, Owen, Adamson [Toby and Snyed a run out again the Hunslet Hawk.

Also what has happened to Rob Parker ?

[/i

Such be a good day. Another clash with United is disappointing and bound to harm our following.

Interesting question - he's not shown as injured on the official site squad list - is he just out of favour?

Holdsworth has got tickets for Utd vs Chelsea according to twitter. Look out for an 'injury' in training this week.

Maybe he's already been told he can have the week off?

He's exactly the kind of player who I'd want us to be resting - give Sneyd a chance to shine and save Holdsworth for some 'special treatment' from Championship forwards

Apparently Rob Parker has been ill and hasn't resumed full training yet. So once he is somewhere near match fit he might be playing again.

Quite a sizeable car park on the top right of the aerial shot posted above.

Despite the running track, it's a terrific view from the upper tier of the stand.

Hunslet fans are a good bunch who know their stuff and the bar is pretty decent as well.

[iThanks for the info 'Leyther_Matt'
