Absolutely - and this is what CN doesn't get.

Obviously I haven't been yet but with some of the comments on here and looking at the Video of the highlights the ground does seem awfully Micky Mouse! I guess I might find it in myself to get along but can't say it will be with too much enthusiasm.

Still looking forward to Headingley on Sunday night and the Brutus a week on Saturday!

You aren't by any chance on the Sunday morning train from Kings Cross to Leeds are you Paddock?

MMmmm, not sure about the You Tube video being a negative Paddock, at the Hive our You Tube vids' look awfull, two drab and grey, empty terraces and a sp populated far end with what appears to be zero atmosphere.

Whereas the first Video of Ealing, looked, well, ... better!

Not as modern or smart for sure, but just better! I can only put it down to 600+ people looking completely lost in a 6000+ modern, "modula" arena, but looking quite at home in a ramshackle 2-3000 set-up.

Just an impression, which I admit may well be wrong, but the 600+ against Swinton, at Ealing looked better than even the Bradford and Leigh atmosphere's at the Hive.
