Say what you want about Central Park...we always gave you a roof. £20 to stand in the rain is scandalous, it is compared to £18 to sit at the DW.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that mean that you Leeds Rhinos do or do not own your ground? Coz to me that looks like a shared ownership.
Yes you are mistaken .Headingley the whole complex i'e rugby and cricket,was always owned by LEEDS RUGBY,FOOTBALL,CRICKET AND ATHLETIC COMPANY LTD.Which was the title when it was first built in 1890 and leeds stjohns moved in as the rugby team and became owned by the company.In the 1920[circa]the whole freehold was signed over to the rugby club by Sir Edwin Airey the milionare builder.When the club was bought by Mr Caddick he got the whole complex plus the debt he and mr Hetherington introduced the newly formed leeds rugby union club which at that time were financed by Caddick,but since then they were taken over by Leeds met university,Leeds carnegie ru club have got a tenancy agreement just like you have at that ground you play at
Soon we will be dancing the Fandango

That's more to do with the unspeakable acts you Yarkshire lads get upto with your woollen friends!!
When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club. We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens. Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before. Shaun Wane 8/10/09

Dont even know your own team do you?
The RU club is the same business as the RL club. It is one Business known as "Leeds Rugby."
See now I didn't know everything but I knew that part. So how can a tenancy agreement be signed by themselves?
You need to look it up. And btw you still haven't proved that you own the whole ground?

you see thats the misconception of small town people of a city like Leeds,we have to travel an awful long way out of the CITY before we see any kind of farm animal. If you listen to the Authentic Leeds accent its not like the yorkshire dialect,Like the dialect that Wigan speak with it sounds rather quaint at the side of the Manchester accent
