Nah – but we do have our fair share

Oh the irony of that, coming from a Leyther.

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).

But there are no Great Crested Newts at Glasshoughton

Ah but you lancastrians are a bit slow arent you

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.

Time will tell. Personally I wish them all the best... and Leigh too

So why hasn't it been built then

The builders are being really difficult and asking for a design for the stadium to be built to, you just cant get good stafff thesedays.

not being one for conspiracy theories but...



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.



Do you think HBOS caused the global recession to get Fax into Superleague?



You heard it here first.....





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

Rubbish , ours was built off the back of a fag packet , [size=59I kid you not [/size



It's not plans that are the problem is it

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.

from sale of LBA I presume. Good news for you guys where ever it's come from.

Only cos you're letting most in for next to nowt.
