Just wondering who the winner is financially here, do we get a %age of gate money or do we just get the TV money? Are the whinos the only winners financially in this joke fixture???

Whats the new capacity at headingley?

We will take loads and Hull usually bring a lot i think the RFL expect this to break an attendance record and make Toronto look like a success.

We will get 30% of any tickets sold as we normally do, since it's an away game.

We don't get anything else - it's Toronto that are missing out. Their hospitality to sell, their ticket revenue at home.

Won’t break any records for a SL game which is the 31,000+ that watched Catalans v Wigan at Barcelona last season.

I think it’s a joke cas hull Leeds Toronto fans all in one ground could be a recipe for disaster and how’s it going to work who stands where etc.. only one who wins here is mr heatherington lining his in pockets

I think it’s a good idea really. Should be a good atmosphere for us lot and an extra match for the same price (hopefully)

Standing and watching one game of rugby in January is enough when it’s freezing cold, even worse if it’s raining or snowing stood in a open end. I think many like myself will wait for a weather forecast before I decide to go for the one match

I like to get there early😜😜 same difference it’s not going to be cracking any flags is it. I went to last years friendly at headingley on a sunny winters day but my feet were still like blocks of ice by full time, no way would I stop for another game

Happy enough to turn up at Headingley for this one,there may be logistical problems fan wise but i don't see there is anything to lose by giving it a try. Be interesting to see how many Leeds and Hull fans turn up early to see Sonny Bill's baptism in Super League,let's hope our pack can give him a warm and not too friendly welcome. His presence will certainly add some spice and extra media interest,just a shame his first game wasn"t down the lane, no doubt he would have loved our facilities with the added joy of 80 minutes of freezing temperatures and a pumped up Wattsy to look forward to.....now there's something I'd pay to see.

😏 I thought exactly the same in terms of our facilities being a shock to his system...!! Hilarious.

Surely the fan 'issue' is not different to the magic weekend?

Talking to Leeds fan at work, he was saying he was lead to believe that Ticketing for the games were independent of each other, and the supporters from the first game would be expected to leave after full time (unless they buy a ticket for the second game to)

It shouldn't be marketed as a double header then should it? Well done to the RFL/Superleague for lining gawwys pockets

Christ it is not rocket science on how it is going to work is it..... its a 20k+ capacity stadium..with theoretically 3 teams with fans going (i assume Toronto would be <100). We are the early game and then a break for the hull v leeds game... Leeds average 12k per game and 15k on a really good day... i really doubt that hull and cas are going to bring 5k fans each with all 5k fans staying for the leeds game..... both teams will bring around 2k each the away stand alone holds just short of 5k

You also forget that the ground caters for england cricket too... there is alot of room in the ground ... 3 superleague teams is nothing
