On one hand I'm enjoying Leeds success and Bulls demise after years of grief from Bulls mates. The boots on the other foot now as they say :)

On the other hand, Leeds v Bulls games are now a pale shadow of what they were, and just doesn't seem right thinking Wakey are probably West Yorkshire's 2nd best club over Bradford.
Typo corrected :wink:

The problem for SL is that when Bradford are doing well they have the potential to pull big crowds etc. Can we really say the same about Wakefield? SL needs clubs like Bradford for numbers. Same with Wigan (lots of spaces there yesterday). Huddersfield had 10k+ which is encouraging and Cas should see increases.
Back with the Bulls, we should get an investigative journo to track down 'show us your trophies' man now....... :wink:


Huddersfield gave away plenty of free tickets to the university and colleges in order to have a 'record attendance'.

I don't include Humberside clubs when I talk about Yorkshire, especially clubs with North East/Gateshead origins :wink:

Wakefield are the 2nd best club in Yorkshire, albeit a long way behind the No 1 club in Yorkshire, and the UK :wink: :)

and piss1ing myself at how poor they were, especially the 5 mins when they got a penalty and missed touch conceded a try then kicked out on the full, i text a friend and said how distant does 2003 feel now.

should all Leeds fans live the moment while it lasts at present because like at Bradford it doesnt las forever!

Leeds' success looks pretty sustainable, given its basis in strong youth development, a relatively thriving city and a stadium that is up to snuff despite some problems.

Bradford... well, they've been in the brown stuff a lot worse than this before now. BTB's right that it's a shame for SL as were they in the same shape as they were ten years ago they'd be putting another 5k on average attendances when they were at home and 2k when they were away.

As a Leeds fan, there is some initial satisfaction, when remembering how "big and scary" Bradford were and the tramplings we suffered at their hands.

In reality, however, a former top club sliding into a steady decline, financially in addition to performance and support, is never a good thing for rugby league. As supporters of a minority sport it should be of concern to us all.

Leeds needs strong. healthy oppositon. (as long as it isn't Wigan- they can decline all they like :wink: )

I doubt that even in a few years and we still aren't winning trophies we'll ever be as bad as what they were last night.


But we WERE as bad as that at one time.

For those revelling in their demise, you are morons. SL is supposed to be improving, not getting worse.

You can tell the ones who have only been around since Bradford have been good as Bradford didnt even register on the radar as a rival before 1996.

I would hazard when Leeds hit a low point pre SL and in the first year of SL, Leeds were in a far worse state than Bradford are now. It wasn't that many years ago that the South Stand were protesting to get rid of Hetherington!!!!!

Quite. Leeds have been in a much worse position than Bulls are now but half of this lot probably werent even around then. They have only known a successful Leeds so are in no poition to take the mickey out of a club on the decline.

I was talking to some (proper Australian!!!) Manly fans at Elland Road, saying that 10 years ago I would never have imagined Leeds would ever get to play Manly at Leeds, and that despite the result, it was a measure of how far the club had come since then. Losing last week to me didn't really matter.
I got to watch Leeds v Manly in Leeds!!!

Without causing too much controversy, the fickle glory hunter fans of today pi5s me off at times expecting us to win every game, and booing when we dare lose! Hetherington needs these fans though as they are the ones that rush to the shops and buy all the new shirts to show how big a fan they really are!!!
