One wonders whether that where Mr Tarry's quote of a 45% increase in season ticket sales called me pessimistic but in the words of twitter #justsayin

the 10K fee for the corporate boxes does not include food, you are offered access to private bar facilities , hostess, buffet or full pre match meal with service , but at additional cost, so all 10 K fee goes to club.

Bloody hell

so this 10 K is for what? , 14 matches x 10/12 seats ? , thats it?

Hostess with a happy ending, now that is taking the cortporate experience to a new level

Is the ground actually finished. It looked as if there is still cladding to be erected at the back of the stands advertising to be errected all round the ground.

The seats were comfortable, the view was good. Leigh will offer a better indication of the atmosphere.

The scoreboard was small though.

to be able to stay well away from Leythers

after that to watch the 14 SL league fixtures from the privacy of your own box/ balcony,10 seats , works out at £700 at game, per game £70 per head

Said the other day that there appears to be a big area on the front of the building boarded over for some reason and you'd think that the advertising hoardings not being in yet might have something to do with the new deal the RFL have just singed up to with an electronic advertising providor.

Well after watching 14 games i would need a few drinks and plenty of food to keep me awake,and theres me thinking we are playing friday nights,or are the other 26 teams playing thursdays.

He doesn't mean 14 games at once

OH,and there was silly me thinking there was only 7 games a week, played on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays.Mind you though we will make a fortune keeping corporate people there for 3 days.

Which stand is for the away fans?

North stand,i think,nobody is 100% sure yet Wellsy,you will be most welcome where ever you stand anyway.

I understand that it will be the South Stand to the right of the West Stand, all standing section.

I STAND corrected OSR.

Generally positive first impressions, despite the new stadium looking a bit like it's been based on a Lego model. It's quite different from any other similar sized new-build soccer or RL ground that I've ever been to, and the views from the main stand are pretty good, even at the back. And even if the rugby on the playing field proves not to be up to scratch, you can always watch the traffic thundering by (or crawling by, as the case may be) on the high level bridge.

Not sure that the car parks at the stadium are big enough at present though (there's still quite a lot of undeveloped scrub-land around the stadium that could potentially be used), or where folk refused entry because they haven't booked in advance will end up. (Overspill at Barton Airport perhaps?)

Pray what fantastic club do you support? Please tell us all where we are going wrong

Nope your wrong, the away section is now the north stand closest to the motorway. The south stand is the home section.

You mean we won't get to watch the traffic? Damn!

You'll be watching it alright when you're stuck in the queue on top of the Barton Bridge!

Yeah you will, when your being directed back to m62,beaten,bruised and battered.

mitie mouse. I really hope that you are referring to events ON the field of play and not OFF it!

He's right though. Lots of supporters are going to.just turn up expecting to park up and are going to be in for a shock. I can imagine quite a few turning around and going back home!

Behave yourself,this guy as come on here telling us how bad we are,taking the pith,well i won`t` have it,stick up for yourself,no bleeder else will.

Got to agree they are making it over complicated and it will I'm sure have people buggering off home on game days when they can't park.
