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!)

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!
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
