I may well be in a minority here but i am looking forward to going to bradford on boxing day to watch some festive rugby. And also to see some of our new signings play for the first time. Even if it snows i will be there i do miss the festive games we used to have before super league bradford on boxing day and leeds on new years day with close to full houses. That's something summer rugby can not replace.
Good luck with that - Odsal has never been the best place to watch a game of rugby buts it’s worse than ever now! I was there the other night to watch our granddaughter play tag, and at present I would say it’s not fit for purpose. Wear some old clothes as half the terraces are covered in thick cloying red clay thrown up from the track by the stock cars etc, and it sticks to everything, the track around the pitch looks like it’s been ploughed. Utter hole - certainly won’t be paying my money to go and watch anything there!!

Come on! What's not to like? Sub zero temperatures, a possibility of a soaking and seeing a load of ring rusty players make mistakes. Then if you haven't died of hyperthermia you can watch the second half when a load of subs come on who you can't identify because nobody bothers announcing their names. The game will get even worse as most players will have barely met, let alone played together and it'll end with no real obvious conclusions to draw.
And this year you'll get covered in sticky stuff from the new track too.
Just need to find my opera glasses!

Never been a fan of pre-season friendlies, add Odsal in to the equation and I’ll definitely not be going, might have gone to the Shay just to get out of the house.

for a friendly. I don't think so.
