Quote ="griff1998"They're not extraordinarily high, though, are they ?
Take off your blue and white tinted glasses and you'll see that the ground's in a very poor state of repair. Caused, in part, by throwing money at winning a championship in 2009, by breaking the salary cap rules. Part of the reason for the cap is to have clubs spend some money on players and leave some for other things that need paying for. Floodlights, for example.
Sorry if the truth hurts. Get real.

It doesnt hurt at all .... what went on before means nothing now as disco des has left us nearly 1/2 million in debt. so much for buying sucess eh ?
We supporters and the new BOD know it needs money throwing at it not only the floodlights but other aspects of the ground as well. With the new toilets and kitchens built before the start of last season on the popular side a start has been made. it will be a long road but the club is giving it its best shot. Maybe we should sell it and move to a souless all plastic seater stadium on the outskirts of town....errr no ta, I will carry on watching RL being played in a traditional type ground (unless its a night game in which case we wont be able to see anything...lol).
Look forward to coming to the Shay .... a great ground that the Raiders can only aspire to!
