    For some reason Saints announced this as a Sunday game and Leeds announced it as a Thursday one. Realistically it was never going to be a Sunday game.

    (There aren't any announced cricket fixtures for that weekend, the Ashes test the following weekend is the only one when the stadium isn't available for the a whole weekend during the SL season).
    I thought the cricket owned the ground?

    The trading is undertaken in the company 'Leeds Football, Cricket and Athletic Company Limited'. Accounts can easily be obtained from Companies House.
    This company owns the land and buildings and runs the club. The accounts filed are to October 17. the turnover is £11m and the stadium is shown at a value of £12m. The directors report refers to the major redevelopment of the stadium and the south stand so it is fair to say that the stadium is owned by the club.

    See my reply above - they are wrong, the stadium is owned by the club (albeit they are not called Leeds Rhinos Limited)

    The first game of the season always has an above average crowd for the opponent, as fans are all excited again and need a fix after the break. Last years opener vs Cas drew over 13k even though it was on Sky, the highest ever crowd for a Cas game at LP.

    Even though a Thursday night in the middle of Winter is the worst possible way to kick off a season (it's as though the game doesn't actually want any publicity) there's no reason why this game shouldn't be very close to a sell out.

    Somebody posted something that was wrong and then reposted it as a fact again, so I corrected it.

    You obviously care otherwise you wouldn't have commented!

    "Play-off games weekend of"
    Before the dates - the dates of play-off games and CC rounds were not included in the first release of fixtures, while highly unlikely the grand final could have been moved to the Sunday

    This is true. The cricket club own the cricket stadium, the Rugby League club own the RL stadium.

    A new company called Headingley North-South Stand Limited has been set up as a 50/50 joint venture by the two clubs to oversee the redevelopment and management of the new shared stand which is being built on land owned by the two clubs.
    FWIW the stadium isn't valued at £11m, that's historic depreciated cost in accounting terms and not a reflection of 'value'.

    Thanks for that. Appears my old chap was wrong. I'll let him know when I visit his grave on remembrance day. ��

    I work some weekends so Sunday games mean very little RL for me. Plus having games on a Sunday ruins the chance of doing anything with the family on a Sunday. I know you're retired RG which means every day is Sunday for you
    Friday night for me, definitely.

    Saturday teatime would be best for me but not a lot of others.

    Particularly if it was a Hull or London trip
