As someone involved in the construction of LSV I was wondering what is the supporters opinion of the stadium now you've had a few games there?.

Wonderful facility, but doesn't feel like home yet.

dont think it ever will tbh

a cold impersonal place with extortionate prices and overbearing stewards other than that its awreet

The stadium itself is magnificent, I don't think we could have asked for better. However the other posters are right, it doesn't feel like home but that's nothing to do with the people who built it - it's down to the management who run it.

Ditto

when will all the temporary scaffolding be removed?

Who said it was temporary

Well I like it but I have reservations and naturally suggestions.

Being realistic our average crowd this season will be around 2300 and we are told it costs £1200 to open a stand and there are more stewards than what is needed for a sport with people who know how to behave.

I really don,t see for most games why fans can,t be allowed to switch at HT between the North and South stands. The people in the West stand would not be inconvenienced because fans could walk round the touchline.

I also like a pint at HT but I won,t pay £3 for keg ale caterers please note. It would also be helpful for the heavier smokers if they were allowed a smoking area at HT although I probably only might have a cigarette if we were losing.



The Legends bar should be open free of charge after the game so the kids could meet the players and club memorabilia allowed on the walls AND again price of drinks should be more realistic.

One final point Leigh RLFC should be allowed to train on the pitch at least twice a week at no charge and fans if they want should be allowed in free to watch training sesssions .

Might improve things.

roughly translates as "boohoo sob they wont let me go where i want and tell me off when i'm doing something i shouldnt"

never have I seen a bigger load of tripe than H.Js comments grow up

HJ's comments are always tripe, never seen him answer a question or give an opinion, just picks at others. Sounds like a blazer to me

you dont have to pay to watch them train at Leigh East if thats what 'floats your boat'

Anyone else hear the Radio Manchester News today about Salfords proposed stadium?
There is further doubts about it going ahead as one of its mjor partners may be forced to pull out because of the 'credit crunch', apparently Salford College (I think it was) are having second thoughts because of lack of funding.

Hmmm ......

Ah but they are still confident it will be built.....of course they are and will be until the next round of franchises when everything will be super positive again and ready to start on August 1st 2011. Its a shame one of the involved companies is going to fold on July 31st 2011.

I'm not blaming Salford one bit, and i'm on record as saying I didn't want a franchise, but when the RFL wanted to 'examine' Hilton Park on the SL franchise bid exercise and wouldn't even take into consideration the LSV is it any wonder Leigh wouldn't let them, especially when they came it HP) had already deteriorated so badly, and yet Salfords application (amongst others) promised a shiny new stadium.

Fantastic Stadium Still feel like we are playing away every game but give it time and a few more fans and no doubt it will feel like home.

Great stadium, great viewing angles, poor finish, badly managed, souless, carp catering, carp craic.

I MISS HP.

I don't although, trying to get through that little gate from the Tommy Sale terrace, at the end of the game whilst, as many people were trying to come off the Glebe Street end was, great fun!

We felt like that too but over time it'll feel like 'home'. Thing is we still get harrassed by the footie contigent for 'squatting at their stadium'. Probably because they got relegated a few leagues last season and haven't managed promotion this time either. I'm looking forward to seeing your fine (finished!) stadium!

Slightly off topic i know, but has anyone read the artical on our stadium in the League express, likes the satdium and thinks a few SL clubs will be drooling at the thought of playing at such a stadium. The guy ( Martyn Saddler i think) quite rightly thinks that the Club have let the Stadium owners have their own way to much re the fact we aren't training on the pitch we play our home games on . The bit that made me laugh was the description of the very modest crowd that didn't deserve the entertainment on show . I had a look at the attendance figures and if i'm not mistaken our home game was the best attended game in the national league and higher than the Celts SL game , yet the artical gives me the impression that it was only our game that was under attended . I know the issue of national league attendance figures is one that needs an awful lot of attention and consideration , but it isn't super dooper league so the only attention or consideration it will get if any is from the respective team owners

the reason it dosnt feel the same is because it isnt lrlfc ground we only share it like everyone else does we are only allowed on the ground on match days so it will never be home or feel the same as it did at hilton park

Nothing wrong with Salfords present ground. And IMO they deserve to be in SL. I fear they wont be in the next round of franchises and that will probably be the end of them. I also fear that thats when we may become permanently linked with them.

I know what you mean, but technically HP wasn't ours either - we were paying rent to Grundy Hill Estates. Also, we couldn't train on HP until the footie had finished.
