Giving up home advantage : Sun Nov 23, 2014 3:45 pm  

I don't mean to sound patronising but some of te clubs we are playing next year need to face facts. A home game against Bradford will set most of the clubs up for the season.

That said their grounds aren't big enough to stage the match. I would expect a number of them wil give up home advantage to play at Odsal. The ground is large enough and with it's iconic status would attract a bigger crowd than say Leigh's ground for example. Sheffield playing at don valley will be big enough but the rest they could really cash in by moving the fixture to Odsal.

Will they see sense though or will fans' stubbornness rule the day?

Maybe you should play all the games your involved in at Old Trafford or maybe even Wembley to fit all your fans in.

Then we can all go full time on the back of the hoards of Bradford fans that will attend all these games.

We could get the police to shut off the m1 down to Wembley to allow for you all to get there or maybe have it widened to 6 or 7 lanes

How on earth did you end up so skint.

This would never happen. Why would it? Fans would be in uproar.

Don't think we will get many in at Don Valley

at least I know where the word 'bull' originates now

Isn't there a limit on how much you're allowed to catch when fishing?

Re: Giving up home advantage : Sun Nov 23, 2014 5:13 pm  

Stop fishing!!

I don't think there's many grounds that would require them to give up home advantage, if any. Half of the stadiums we'll be going to are better than odsal anyway.

You could not get your fans to go to away matches when you were in SL, what's changed all of a sudden

Chuff me, that's made my day. Funniest thing I've read on t'internet for ages.

If you're fishing, well played

If you're serious, see a doctor.

Good to see you've done your research on your new league too, I think you'll find that the Don Valley is now a pile of rubble. But I'm sure it could have held your nine million travelling fans.
