I'm sure a stadium 14 miles away from Donny would have attracted 60,000...easily...or even better the RFL could have a magic carpet of a stadium which can land equal distance between any 2 towns, and change its capacity to the exact number of tickets needed.

I thought the stadium was great, the view from the stands were good, and the facilities were fantastic. My only problem was finding somewhere to park. The police coordination of traffic was a shambles and only added to the complications. I don't think having a stadium in the middle of a retail/business park is a bad idea but the stadium needed its own car park and road in from the motorway. I set off before 1.00PM and only just made it into the ground in time.

I can only think that we are going to have the same problems when our new ground is built as I presume we will be using the main road in from the motorway as well as from the town centre. I would imagine a lot of fans will probably walk in from Cas though I suppose. It is bad enough on a weekend now trying to get to J32 retail outlet without adding the extra rugby traffic to it as well.

funny that, cause the A1 i drove down that afternnon was clear...and i have been to Don to Cas..Cas to Don hundreds off times in my life, never once did it take '2 hrs 15 mins'

Can assure you mate it was. Started being patchy passed Darlington, then queued for around 2 miles upto the M18 junction and moved about 1/2 mile in 30 mins. Bottled necked at Junction 3 on the M18 and it's a good job we got a police escort as we wouldn't have got there.

Maths clearly isn't your strong point as 1:15 to 2:45 is 1 hr 30 mins.

so not so bad then...glad you had a good day
