Good shots Parky, already looks significantly better than Odsal

introducing Britains biggest beach volleyball venue

That main stand is fantastic. Probably right up there with the best in super league.

May well be, but there's already more grass on the pitch than Headingley had last season

Where are the pictures?

Is this the stadium that will make you the richest club in world rugby?

NO! That fell by the wayside years ago!

The veiw of it from Barton bridge is excellent. I can't wait to get over for our game with you next year.

How far is it from the Willows? Will the move of location be much of a problem for the fans or will the better transport links of a new development help make it easier for them?

Its a fair distance from the willows but nearer to my house so im ok



Might be a bit of a ball ace for fans that live local to the Willows but ive managed it for many years so im sure they can cope. One things for sure our attendances cant exactly get any lower.

It's about 2.8 miles from the Willows and most of the fans that I have been speaking to are already making different arrangements on how to travel there.

The club are carrying out a survey on the move and its transport implications at this moment.

From where I live its slightly further away but by car I can get there quicker and initially I know some people who will drive in and park at the ground with a season car park ticket but be looking towards using public transport once we have settled in.

From where I live the public transport is no different going the Barton as it is going to the Willows and either involves a bit of walking.

The new stadium has 600 car parking spaces and 20/30 coach spaces but initially there should more space available for parking as no retail units will be built when we open.

Loads better for me travelling to games, coming off the m60 then to the willows is a ballache, this makes life much easier.

No when was that quoted ?
are you the fan that makes FC
Mensa affiliated ?

will still have a Massive Stream though

we've just mislaid the income bit

Fine going in, but probably a ball ache getting out no doubt!

I claim no credit for these images, sorry if a few are a tad large but I can't be bothered to re-size them!







And best of all...

The smaller stands look brilliant from inside the ground, Would have been nice for the camera crew (guy with a box brownie LOL) to have gone in the smally touch line stand get some footage of the main stand though.
Can only assume that filmed a week or so ago as the pics KOTS has posted shows the pitch with grass on it and yet the video shows it as sand topped.

Very excited now.

What's the capacity?

12k.

Second and third phase plans in place to expand up to 15/20k if ever required.

Be ready in April , I originally said May , but they look ahead of shedule

Looking quality. That main stand looks seriously good.

Which end is the away end? How much does each stand hold?

The green, green grass of our new home.
(I pinched this from twitter - apologies of it's yours!)

looking good, important question here, will all the stands have a bar in them? does anyone actually have any internal layout plans?

Also I see the north stand is going to be the new shed, where is everyone thinking of standing/sitting?

Took another ride down to the site yesterday and first thing you see is that they are building the proper access bridge and that there seems to be work being done on some of the interior fit. The training piches seems to be coming along too.
It's only when you go around the back that you realise the huge scale of the entire project, do hope that they are going to landscape the area though as it is a right mess.

Can anyone tell me if the club are going to have an onsite gym? you'd think that maybe the council would build something there to make it even more a community sports site or that maybe Fatness first would look at building there.
