There was food on, wasn't there?!





At one point, Jack Dearden asked me if I knew where 'Big Nige' was. I pointed him out - behind the wide screen.



Actually, Mr. Wood had some very complimentary things to say about 'our' stadium.

So what lazy journo has had to refer to it as 'one of the newest'?

That was the RFL! Don't forget, John Wilkinson will have told them Salford has a new stadium, Cas will have told them the same, Wakefield, Saints, Bradford and Celtic likewise. And there you are, ours is then one of the newest!!

Precisely. News management and it speaks volumes.



Had it been a new stadium at any of the above it would have been billed as 'the most recent state of the art rugby league stadium'



Because it's ours it's just 'one of the newest'



Disgraceful really.

I bet, by 2011, ours is still the newest though!

to be fair in the speeches both the rfls Nigel Wood (?) and the coop man both praised the place highly
