Is the whole ground finished now?

If so, get them in Super League and evict Wakey.

wow thats great!!!!!!

The North and South Stands are newish as well - the Skirtcoat all seater down the West side of the ground could do with renovating but its still better than most.

Looks good well done Fax for finally finishing what they started.

Niiiice.
Kinda looks like a blue version of Leigh's ground

Very impressive it is too. Well done, obviously I`ve no knowledge of the financial side of things over there, but let`s hope they can get back into SL asap.

A very nice tidy ground now and must now be up to SL standard!

Looks good, well done, all things come to those that wait.

Always liked games against Halifax home and away, would be good to see them back.

Beats the old Thrum Hall!

Having hit the bottom, they have built steadily on firm foundations.
It is actually written into their new constitution that they can't go into the red.


Beats quite a few in SL, too.
Very tidy it is.

Blimey.. Looks nice that! Not been to Halifax for donkeys, but I do remember the state of that stand.

Looks great that, last time I went there was in 2001, I don't think the away end had a roof at the time. Looks like it has a few corporate boxes too which I dont think it has anywhere else in the ground?

What will the capacity be now?

There wasnt any corporate box's before - it has 6 in the new stand along with the dining facility with the terrace patio looking onto the pitch (do any other RL stadiums have one of these?)

With temp toliets at the back of the North stand that Capacity is around 14,000.

So we now have 5 teams outside super league with better stadiums than the ones in super league.

They just need to work on their fan base, corporate support and hope one of the other Yorkshire clubs falls over and they could be an outside shot for the future

Very good - welcome to SL in 2012.

yes quite... just a shame they arent infront in any other area!!!

They don't have chance to be ahead in other areas because they are not in super league.

I can think of a few teams who would add more value to super league than Wakey, Celtic and Quins. But in the bigger picture it would not be right to chuck them out. So let Fax build up those other areas. Lets be honest though many teams are envious of them because the stadium is probably the hardest area to improve.

Depends if you can share with a football or union team it becomes a hell of a lot easier.

Ditto if you have a local council willing to help fund the stadium.

Clubs have had years to sort out this issue.

I heard in Castleford that the council were going to fund loads of developments in different areas, there was a programe on about it, why did the club not tap into this?

Very little money was given out compared to what alot of people were wanting, and it was to be used for a new bridge and redevelopment of the town square (and some local parks) none of this money was ever available for sports and wouldnt have been enough anyway.

The council has publically stated it will not give a penny towards funding stadia for cas, wakey or fev.

Its all well and good saying that clubs have had years to sort this out, but clubs in our district have no council support and no football/union clubs to share with.

Can you tell me one stadium in rl that was built in the last twenty years without the council putting money in or that didnt involve sharing with football or union?

Pah. You couldn't beat the weavers in the shadow of a half built stand. You've gone all posh on us now.

Halliwell Jones?
