Probably not being football league club grounds has a lot to do with it, games could continue at neutral grounds until November at this rate.

Lol I’ve been waiting to do this, will we play Houghton or a runner at nine with the new rule changes. Lucky Leeds how much revenue will they get for hosting these fixtures, we know they need help to fund their new stadium. Will Sky really care if no supporters are there, as long as their sat dishes are selling. At least the Hull supporters won’t get drenched at the uncovered end.

Think houghton will be brilliant with the new set restart rule, expecting big things from shaul to, plenty of broken field, hopefully our boys have been working on fitness

I wasnt saying its a conspiracy to choose Headingley just doubting that it was chosen because it had dressing rooms at each end of the ground.
In the current situation ask anyone in R/L which ground would have been the first to be chosen by the RFL and it would have been Headingley.
No conspiracy just fact.
Understand Huddersfield applied to host games even though they dont own the ground.

It's SL not the RFL who chose the grounds. And as is well known the SL administration isn't particularly close to Leeds.

FWIW League Express reported, yes, that the stadia needed to have appropriate infection-mitigation controls including multiple, separate sets of changing rooms, that the host clubs only cover their costs on these games and that the real incentive to apply, apart perhaps from some residual home-ground advantage, is to give exposure to their naming and in-ground sponsors.

And Huddersfield home game is now at Headingley,

Who cares where it is at, just glad we are close to starting again soon.

Decent start to the season, good chance of beating Salford and hopefully getting our season back on track.

Wigan Huddersfield & Salford I believe offered their facilities.

Re: Salford v Hull 9th August Headlngley : Fri Jul 17, 2020 2:24 pm  

Latest from BJ is that we hope for the crowds back from October (1st I think)

Re: Salford v Hull 9th August Headlngley : Fri Jul 17, 2020 4:41 pm  

First round is at Leeds, second round at St Helens, third round at Warrington. Cup round games so far confirmed are at Huddersfield.

To be clear, Wigan didn't apply to host games.
