For me

Preferable situations

Modern, yeah the old ones are nostalgic but they are usually a bit pap

Railway station within 10 minutes walk

Loads of car parking spaces within 10 mins of the ground, either free or less than £5

Pubs, lots of them so that everyone isn't piled in the same place in a ma-who-sive queue

Standing, behind the sticks only.

Fast queues under the terrace at half time for beer and burgers.






It's been fun.

No only a WA1, WA2, WA3. WA4 and WA5 postcode is good enough all the rest don't count.

I've voted for Stains - based on next season - I've been in it quite a few times (we supply a lot of the materials for it), and it's a great stadium - a proper rugby league stadium - it achieves that by, when you're in there it feels quite small, compact, yet it's got a good capacity - it's close to the pitch etc - it will have a great atmosphere I believe. being like ours, with a side and an end for standing, and a side and an end for sitting I think (seats weren't all in last time I was there). But, I didn't realise that it won't be a proper bowl, like say Hull, because it still only has two corners filled in, like ours will be, and will have two corners open - although, because of the glass and steel that surrounds the whole ground in an oval, it will feel like a bowl (an probably will have those corners filled in a couple of years when they start filling it regularly - apparently they just slot in, unlike ours that need a full construction program).

Couldn't vote for Hull or Wigan, because to me, they are just average sized football grounds that have rugby teams playing there.

Salford new ground looks good, not too dissimilar to ours, but won't be a good as Stains (mainly because it will have about 14000 fewer people in it!)

Out of Wigan's, Hull's or Huddersfield's.

Shame they don't fill the stadium.

Odsal for me, not quite sure what it is that I like about it but it is one of my favorite away games. Went to Featherstone last week and fell in love with Post Office Road too!

My favoruite is Headingly. Great view of the action and always a top atmosphere.



you are wrong on the kc stadium being a football stadium, when designed, both the rugby and football clubs were consulted.

KC for me. Best view of a pitch in SL. Saints' new stadium looks fantastic and will be the best of the 'smaller' grounds (No offence intended as I think that it'll be the perfect size)

FFS, It's our ground, for the following reasons

We have
1. our own stadium (a RL one)
2. It's modern
3. We have a railway station (on our doorstep) which services the majority of our away fans
4. A bus station (on our doorstep) which services our own fans
5. Easy access to major roads/motorways
6. Reasonable walking distances to good 'watering holes' e.g. The Tavern, not some of the less salubrious 'pubs' near the ground.
6. When we play in it, it looks 'well inhabited' , i.e. not having 10,000 empty seats


Yeah, we've got a great stadium






Neither glass half full or empty. Just a realist.

My favourite is probably the KC as well, but could have easily gone for Castleford!
