[u"promise we will av a new ground guv"[/u

Bradford










Salford
























Castleford


















Wakefield


















St Helens







[uCould be developed but doubtful[/u

Batley

[uNot a cat in hells chance at the moment or ever[/u

The rest


A sport kicking and screaming into the 20th century




A couple of ERRORS







amended

Bradford haven't promised a new ground, but are working towards one. Nor is it key to them gaining a franchise next time.

HTH

Somebody is bored today

Wait 'till I have a go about transport and access








coming soon

i am allways amazed as to why people class headingley as super league standard.as an away supporter,i get no more protection from the weather than i do at bradford,wakefield and cas.at least i get a seat at hkr.
but what these grounds do have is atmosphere,something that is sadly lacking at the new grounds

Catalans is a bloody nightmare to get to

Spot on. Headingly is one of my least favourite grounds to visit. Conversely, I love The Willows (excellent terracing), The Jungle (reminds me of Threepenny), and Knowsley Road. My most hated ground is Craven Park, not a Hull thing, but because when Hull FC visit, the South "Stand" becomes the official away stand for that match only and you simply have no chance of viewing the game from there.

Not sure which stand is which at Craven Park; we usually get herded into the open with seats. Leaving aside (almost) the rather sad aspect that we need segregation in RL, whilst I`m obviously not that keen on, but don`t really mind standing in the rain all that much, I do find being forced to sit in the rain getting my legs wet an imposition too far.

Do Sheffield have the best ground in rugby league now?

No they are playing at Bramhall lane

And they rob us blind with there hike in prices

I no they moved and was thinking where in sl is better than that? I suppose its on a par with kc, dw and galpharm

Big yes , better yes if they can pull 25,000 fans in per game , but with less than a 1,000 in they'd be much better somewhwere smaller

Yes i do agree that it is wasted on them with a small support but the thread was about the the stadia not the fanbase and i feel that the stadium is as good as any other

For the record, no talk of Super League is allowed in conjunction with Doncaster. We no longer allow it.

seeing as you're bored.

If you gave
1 point for 0 to 2000 capacity
2 points for 2001 to 5000 capacity
3 points for 5001 to 10,000 capacity
4 points 10,001 to 15,000 capacity
5 points 15,000 upwards

and

10 points for a stadium 15 years or younger
5 points for a stadium 15 to 25 years
2 points 25 +

-5 for every uncovered stand (potentially -20 points per ground)

bonus 5 points for any team that as played in top flight since the birth of Superleague
bonus 2 points for playing in championship since birth of superleague (excludes relegated from SL)

Who would be the top 20 teams (in order) ?

Will you ever get over Salford beating the Cougars three times in 1996?

I have absolutely no idea but I can guess You are going to tell Us.

Personally I don't understand RL's fascination with new grounds. As long as it is easy to park and get into, you get a decent view, it is at least 75% full and it has a good atmosphere then it gets a 10/10 from me.

I 100% prefer to stand at games as well.

As I just said on another thread it's stadia that puts other sports so far ahead of RL. It's a massive issue for our sport.

No it's not , it's money , both from paying fans,sponsors and TV revenue

If we could get all the clubs in SL operating at an average 80/90 % full and the Championship clubs operating at 40/50 % full we would start to pull in much more Sponsor and TV revenue

Unfortunatley we dont seem able to do that , when other sports , most notably football can

er im not that bored at the moment

Well Wigan get full marks
