Another case of ''If it aint outside of Yorkshire its not bloody worth visiting'' I'd take it you'd travel if it was a Hull game?

Not impractical at all but it is convention, given the location of RL fans, to have one in Lancs, one in Hull and one in W Yorks. Plus this year the fourth game was Wembley. When it's built they can play the equivalent of the Wales game in Cas Vegas
Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

Im coming from Holland and would go where ever it was played, so you should not blink an eye at an hours drive!

Great news that they've opened the upper tier, hopefully it will sell out and Elland Road will be a caldron of noise. Whenever the austrailians have possesion we need to make it as intimidating and hositle as possible as in the NRL they're not used to playing in such an atmosphere. I'm all for respecting them pre and post match but when the game kicks off give 'em 80 minutes of hell.

If you were disagreeing about the wooden seats, then I'm afraid I can confirm that there are still a large number of wooden seats. I was sat on one at the Leeds-Melbourne WCC game last year.
If that wasn't what you were picking up on, apologies for mis-reading your post!

Agreed. I hated seeing some people clap the Aussies onto the pitch at Wembley.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS
