We should be getting around 3,000 next season, we were heading that way towards the end of this season. With less games against smaller teams, the added attraction of seeing us play bottom SL teams and the fact that games are meaningful again with a chance to win promotion we should see a fair increase in attendance.

Neil, you are obviously far too clever for me, however I note it took you nearly 24 hours to line up your proverbial ducks.



What percentage do Leeds get then from their imeadiate catchment area just out of intrest?



If you are so confident in what your stating why not do it in your own name instead of pretending to be someone else? I thought it was only me who allegedly uses multiple user names on here





The clubs stratergy is great we've both helped implement it and hopefully the club will reap rewards if adopted as part of a long term sustainable plan but that's the bit if. In the meantime don't attempt to patronise people or mimick them for either being less fortunate than you or simply having a different view point as It doesn't reflect well on you as a person or the club mate.

Ey up! That's a new one Charlie





FYI plenty of people on here know exactly who I am (which is nobody, just a fan) including Leyther Matt, TV Boy and yes, Maurice!

Nozzy my friend , I wasn't referring to you in my post , please forgive me , I also call Nostradamus Lad , Nozzy , and that is who my post was on about .

Anything below 3000 is a failure. If the rumour is true and we do play bradford at home week 1, anything below 6k is a failure!

Bradford is not a rumour, its a request put forward by the club, wether the RFL give it us is another question

Hope we don't play Bradford game 1 as we can guarantee a good gate for our first home fixture of a new season regardless of opposition.

Would much prefer us to build up slowly and get momentum - this season's form counts for nothing come match day 1 and lets not forget as Champions we are there to be knocked down.

In saying that Bradford are expected to demolish every team next season so would rather us not play the rank favourites game 1.

Personally I don't remember Bradford fans ever travelling in great numbers so I'm not too sure the away support would better a Fev or a Fax but it would beat an Hunslet or a Swinton so we should be up on that plus the locals will be more interested in Leigh v Bradford so the intrigue factor will help.

Would think most teams would like Bradford at home early on in the season before they get used to Championship Rugby, try to catch them a bit arrogant and off guard. Not sure many would want to go to Odsal in February though.

I'm not sure, fully rested and with a SL mentality day 1 could be the worse time to play them before the championship mentality kicks in - they won't be playing at the quality of stadia they are used to or on quality pitches they are used to and in front of crowds they are used to with media coverage they are used to - that fall from grace will affect players (and fans) in the head as much as on the pitch.



The negative side being if they take Leigh to the cleaners its damages our campaign on day one as people we'd like to get back won't believe we are up to the challenge, of course the alternate to that is we could flog them and expectations go into over drive......



I'll be happy with Hunslet at home for the first game with little pressure or expectation's in front of a good gate as no-one has seen the team play for months

And what if we did them handsomely?

Well I don't care when we play Bradford quite honestly.



Just hope it's not too cold.

Give us Hunslet
