not commercially viable, take 4,500 off the capacity (West Upper) and that is just short of 7,000, extra stewards, no extra income. It just wouldn't be worth it.

So how does spreading 8k supporters around every section of the ground work?
Or, to put it another way, are they likely to cram everybody into the lower west stand? Kind of defeats the object if they do.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Don’t care how they do it to be honest, just get some fans in the stadium match day, the vulnerable, the scared people like yourself, stay at home. Anything’s better than no fans

Cup run anybody ??
The Cup is an interesting point. If non Super League sides withdraw that means we only need to win three games to win the Cup plus we get a week off whilst other sixth round games are taking place.

Making nasty assumptions as always.
Just worried by the thought of ending up sitting near the likes of you come the next game.

but also brought those who were 4 points in front closer....not forgetting they have to play more games in a shorter spell than us...some results may go our way....may be a blessing if we stay (almost) injury free
leeds for example havn't played the likes of wigan, saints, catalan or cas!

Did I say that? I respect the opinions of people who fear the worst, it’s fine don’t go to the games, lock yourselves away whatever, but don’t slate the people who want to get on with living and getting back to normal, as long as we stick to guidelines, respect others, then I’m sure it will be fine, covid is going to be around for for a long time, best get used to the new norm.
