We got slated by many people last season due to the state of the Pitch let’s hope it’s not a resemblance of Bridlington Beach come April time...'"
just a couple of points to raise here.
1) The Festive Challenge game is a contractually bound game so the decision to reschedule was a prerequisite and not a revenue based decision.
2) Bridlington Beach is a pebble beach and not sand. |

I imagine that it would be good for the players to get some match time under their belt too |

It's another Hetherington master-stroke.
Leeds have immediately halved their wages bill over the festive season for matchday staff by holding both games on the same day.
They can also get equipment on loan from Premier Rugby to ensure the game goes ahead that otherwise wouldn't have been available. |

Hopefully it'll have the same effect as it had at Newcastle www.worldcupweb.com/rugby/news/v ... p?id=28223

I'm with David on this one, from a rugby point of view, I doubt it's a game the coach or players need or want in the middle of their pre-season preparations.
In addition, it's bad enough the rugger buggers ruining the playing surface at this time of year without us adding to it. |

I'm not quite sure how playing on the surface once a fortnight constitutes "ruining it" mind... |

Just out of interest will the Rah Rahs be contributing a £1 of their hard earned cash to charity ?

I think its what they do with the pitch once they're on it that TVOC is complaining at |

I bet some of you have settees with the plastic wrapping still on them from when you bought them in DFS three years ago - "you can look at the upholstery but don't sit on it or you'll spoil it"
I could grow a lovely rugby pitch full of lush green grass if no-one ever played on it, dead simples like.
