Too big.
Rubbish Facilities.
Not the image of our sport that the RFL/BBC want to project.
Need 20k to generate a decent atmosphere.
We lost last time we played a Semi there

.
It will make the Bradfordians jealous that they've not seen any silverware in yonks.

Anymore?

It's a sjit hole

My opinion was formed partially around keeping the monies that will be spent in an RL ground . I'd ideally want to play them at their home ground . We (allegedly) won't be getting many more chances to visit their current home .

Doncaster RL play at the Keepmoat...

I was aware of that . But it is a football stadium . Bradford could do with making a few quid , so could Cas. Both are easier to get to , and in my opinion , a better day out .

they only play there,they have to pay rent so get nothing from sales in the ground.

I have no alligance to the Keepmoat as my team just pay rent there....but when full its a cracking atmosphere, and ok there may be a few Leeds fans who may not get tickets...but history shows Yorkshire venues at semi finals average around 13K over the last 5 years.

Wakfield and Hull fans voiced similar concerns 3 years ago...their boards afterwars were mainly positive on their match day experience....just embrace it, it will be a good atmosphere...good for T.V, and hopefully have a good day out

the rfl have some tickets has they have promised my junior club has many has they need has they are running a coach plus ticket offer the same has what they did when england played france at the keepmoat two years back,so far we have filled two coaches and the offer was only put out tonight.

To get in before Wheels: As.

Went to the England v Wales match there mate and i don't think it was even half full and the parking and traffic were abysmal.

while there may only be 1000 car parking places at the stadium theres a shopping outlet with extra parking within 1/4 mile plus the doncaster dome leisure centre is within easy walking distance
even on a sunday theres about 6 busses a hour servicing the stadium/yorkshire outlet or the dome so getting from the station is very easy

yes the capacity could be bigger but when people are seriously cobsidering bradford then you know options are limited
the atmosphere at the 2 england games i've seen there was great tho

I'm going to do what I always do when going to stadiums which are a pain to get away from (DW, Galpharm...) and park 10/15 minutes walk from the ground then you hardly have any problems getting away - fingers crossed.

BTW - the aerial view of the Keepmoat on Google maps shows an American Football match going on.

southyorksdave were you there for the England v wales match? Because the atmosphere was far from great!

What, like Headers was on June 10 you mean...?

Typical RFL Muppetry - Castleford and Leeds boarder each other so lets choose a venue that will be a pain in the ar[size=100s[/sizee for both clubs to visit.

Are they really saying that neither Bradford or Huddersfield were available on either the Saturday or Sunday?

Bradford? Is it really the standard? It will be 1/2 empty, it will also look a dump on tv and the atmosphere will be pants. I'd rather play at Wakefield, honest. As for Hudds, I doubt the football team wouldn't have wanted it with the new pitch.

I think it was worse for the Exiles game tbf.

Keepmoat is a great stadium when full, I went to the previous internationals held there and it was half empty so you can't judge atmosphere based on that. As for parking, the Yorkshire Outlet is right next door to the ground and has loads of parking, can be an ar5e to get away from though. I'll be walking from my dad's house so it'll not effect me.
Reckon this could be a good move by RFL, despite all the naysayers on here.

Agreed re:exiles game!

so every season ticket holder is promised a ticket for each cup game. however at least 2.5k will not get one. wonder how this stands legally

How many season ticket holders have we got?

dont forget bronze members, leedline agents, rhinos 2000/forever members etc

Ah yeah, didn't consider that.
I think there will be more tickets becoming available when/if they get snapped up.

popping in to get my mates and mine in the morning. meeting rhinoms for coffee but you can't have everything

Isn't that only up to the quarter finals though?

without looking i'm not sure. i'm sure we were all guaranteed one for each cup game
