I know what you mean mate, some of the posts from our fans make me cringe with embarrassment, would say the majority of us are fairly grounded though

Quote ="Gaslight"10,000 will easily be achievable in the new stadium, more away fans will travel to it, and more people from near by towns & villages will probably come too, better facilities means more fans, just look at Hull F.C. & Warrington.'"



You might br right it worked for those clubs , but in all honesty their crowds were down on what they should have been



Leigh havent increased despite moving , in fact many prefer Hilton Park



Moving hasn't done Donny much good either



I have posted many times that your attendances are very good for the size of your catchment but they could quite easyily be at their maximum now

Yes – but irrespective of how new and shiny the stadium is, you're still asking people to come and watch Leigh.

It took 7 years to get our new stadium built, and it wasn't built during a recession. Those who think they will be playing in new stadiums in 2-3 years are living in a dreamland.

In there first half a season in a new stadium leigh havent improved there gates but whose to say they wont at the ned of the season or next year?



Whats more moving to new stadia is likely to effect sl teams very differantley as it did with hull and wire. We are currently averaging over 8,000 2, 000 more isnt that great a leap, especially considering how many new homes are beeing built in the area which should increase the population by a significant amount (the former prince of wales site alone is building 900 homes, right next to the site).



Also in our favour is the fact that no stadium in rl will be easier to get to (just of the m62, rail links right to the ground, buses from leeds, hull, wakey, london etc) and no grounds in rl will be a better family day out (lots of shopping, skiing, pubs, cinema, bowling, amusements, climbing, lazerzone, places to eat, hotel (s) all right next to the ground).

What's that got to do with a Leigh fan knocking Castleford about their attendances?

Because Cas are basing their projected increase in crowds on moving in to their new stadium.

Right, still getting good crowds compared to some other SL clubs from much larger towns/cities.

Without a doubt, and they are to be commended for that. Just think it's a case of maintaining that level of crowds for the time being, rather than pushing for an increase in crowds on the basis of a new stadium that may not arrive for years.

HBOS was one of the being mortgage players in the UK before the housing market crash and global recession because of the unbundling of these rolled up debt bonds.



Now none of these proposed stadiums have been built because of the recession yet Halifax RFLC are working on their stadium in line for a bid in 2011.

Alternatively - why do you think none of these stadia have been built? Funding difficulties? Property price crash? Global recession? Take your pick.

Fag packet you say? not the strongest foundation material





Problem? who said there was a problem, building a stadium is a long drwn out process, especially when you dont have a co-operative local council. Cas have anounced that they are choosing the design team, when they are chosen the final plans can be drawn up, then building work can begin.

Brilliant! That's the best conspiracy theory I've ever heard.



























....or maybe it's just that Calderdale Council have earmarked 4.5 million quid to finish the stadium at last.
