And me. Although Hull have only lost twice at home all year (against us and Wigan) however it'll be interesting to see how Leeds react to their loss on Saturday. Should be a good game that should.

Yes, I also think Leeds will prove better opposistion against Wigan than Hull FC will.

If Leeds win they will be away at Wigan on the Sunday so it wouldn't matter about Yorkshire CC

Dont forget if Leeds lose and Huddersfield win they will also swap places due to better points diff.

indeed if Leeds lose and Huddersfield win then Leeds will finish 6th and be at home to Hull KR

And I suspect if that was so it would be the Friday game to avoid clashing with the football on Saturday and the cricket on Sunday.

Three pages and i'm none the wiser. I've come o the decision that i wont be devastated if the kick off times mean i miss it, it isn't knock out yet.

I Have gone through ALL the fixtures on the bbc website for cricket and football. Quiet this debate is going on. I don't know...

Another words... The only possible confirmed fixture in week 1 is Wigan Vs 4th... Which will be sunday.

If Leeds beat Hull they will be away to Wigan on the Sunday and we will play on the Friday. If Leeds lose then they will be at home (in the bottom 4 group of games). Leeds United are at home on the Saturday and therefore Leeds will play friday night and we will play Saturday.

as for leeds and the football has nothing too do with it. thay are not ground sharing... If that was that was the case. which match would of too priority last saturday, there were what 5 different games going on in london, all went ahead.

West yorkshire Police will not allow the play off Rugby League game and a Football league match to be played at or around the same time. In simple terms...they cant handle it!

so yorkshire police are lazy. Thats what your saying...

the met could handle 5 games on saturday, but yorkshire police can't handle 2 games...

YEP. They forced Leeds to cut their tickets sales for the cup game against Wigan because they had a cricket game on as well.

Lets not forget though we are only playing Friday night because the MET didnt want to handle our game whilst there is rugby union on at twickenham on Saturday (ignoring the fact that there is an England game on on Friday at Wembley)

but this is the same met who handled the following games

warrington Vs Leeds. Challenge cup final
chelsea v stoke
spurs v wigan
millwall v coventry
watford v leeds
brentford v rochdale
St Albans v Hampton & Richmond
leyton oriant v exeter
windsor. (horse racing)

ALL THESE EVENTS WERE IN LONDON LAST SATURDAY

And they were playing cricket at Lords.

ok so thats about half a million people extra in london on 1 day, And your telling me that leeds cant handle 60,000 for 1 night

Yep !

Well not quite the MET would not be at

watford v leeds
St Albans v Hampton & Richmond
windsor. (horse racing)

Normaly they would but as its the Jacks who are arriving in Leeds then maybe not.

.......Friday's game can be Wigan -v- whoever. If the DW Stadium is unavailable, Wigan will just have to find another venue to play the game at.

well maybe not the horse racing, But why would the met not be at the football games. I thought police had too be at football games as well as stewards.

I hear Widnes is the local babysitter.

Not in the Met Police coverage area

Not entirely sure the problem at Headingley is a police problem, I think it's a case of access to the Western Terrace and North stand having to share access to the CC ground. Not to mention the shared press facilities.

The rugby pitch is normally the car park for test matches at Leeds. That will be one of the reasons.
