It's a cracking atmosphere at Mount Pleasant on Match day.

You know what, I'd kind of enjoy the middle 8s experience, visiting grounds I hadn't been to in ages and much smaller, far less successful clubs that could use our money like, you know, Bradford.

If it's the option of scraping a Top 8 spot with little to no chance of reaching the Top 4, then Middle 8's would be preferable IMO. It'd certainly be an experience for the remaining bandwagoners, glory hunters and postcode traitors who are not accustomed to such alternative old school RL venues.

Even better if Hunslet were to scrape into the Middle 8's and face Leeds at home. Printer could step outside of his home 5 minutes prior to kick-off and still walk it there in time.

I think Hunslet would do very well to face Leeds in the middle 8s this season but I get your point.

I have a few friends who, like me are a BD postcode person but they have chose to support Leeds in the last few years. Very strange folk

i agree, do you get a dinner plate or something for winning middle 8s? we could yet win silverware and salvage the year

We used to go when the Championship was placed in the winter and SL in the summer. The academy used to play there quite a bit years ago.

I agree about the atmosphere - could you imagine Leeds v Bradford in the £1m game!!

fair play to you sir, i know a few Bulls fans who stick by their club through good and bad, its what following a team is all about.Its the bad times that make the good times all the sweeter as us die hard leeds fans have found in recent years.

If we end up middle 8s the Bulls Rhinos game is one thing to look forward to
