Dont forget, we are moving our current toiletS into the new stadium also.

I'm assuming he means its depressing that there are not already more new build 'purpose-built RL stadia' by now in superleague?

The plans look good. I just hope that we don't end up feeling too far away from the action as in some places. One of the great things about KR is that there is a definite feeling of being a part of it.

Exactly, i think the best thing about watching the game at the GPW is how close we, as fans, are to the pitch and the players. Close enough for players and officials to hear when someone shouts abuse at them from the back of the scaff in fact!

Well, I wasn't actually thinking about that, probably since the most abusive I get towards players and/or officials is something like 'whaddya think ya doin?' Granted, I shout it loudly, but it's more likely to elicit a laugh than anything else.

I was thinking more about the excitement of a possible try or a great hit or like when Leeds came to visit and we almost had open warfare on the pitch. Man, that was a good match! I'd hate to lose that kind of experience. But in all other respects, can't wait for the new stadium, much as KR has many fond memories.

No, i got what you meant and agree totally I love how involved being so close to the pitch makes you feel. The abuse thing was in reference to some comedy comments from those around me most weeks and a particularly well timed shout at Mr Smith from TM-TL.

Unfortunately, it was beat by Mr Phil's

"Backwards? You're backwards"

Correct.

Sitting on the sides, standing on the ends very interesting.

It's what they always said it would be.

which stadium is this?

A Wiganer choosing today to laugh at us getting our own stadium - you couldn't make it up.

One that won't have our badge sellotaped to it.

I believe its velcroed

The whole brick wall or just part of it?

Brick by brick!

I thought it was stuck on by a piece of chewed gum from Whelan and Bruce.

LMAO

A word of caution in that those drawings haven't been touched in two years, have a look at the last revision date 22.05.07.

In fact the architect has actually moved office since they were produced.

You mean it could get even better??????

They did say at one point that the standing would be in the corners.



It is strange that they have seperated one of the main sides rather than an end for the away supporters.

The size layout and seat/standing proportion looks pretty good.

That was part of the doomed old plans by Howard Morris and co. that never had a cat in hell's chance of going ahead, because we were close to bankruptcy.

I think its always been said that standing areas would be behind the posts in the current proposals.

Your probably right. Morris' plans did always seem very pie in the sky. Memory is playing tricks on me in my old age.

The plans haven't been touched in a looooooooong time
