Last year the the RFL deemed The Stobart stadium 'adequate'
Can I ask you what the honest view is of fans that travelled there today was? be honest! on a whole what was your experience like at the Halton Stobart Stadium?

Somehow I don't think many are back yet



I went for the bradford final, and its a nice ground, everyone knows Widnes where screwed over to acomodate Celtic, you deserve a franchise next time for sure.

What even with the wigan walk ha ha just kidding I gathered that!
just interested to now how rugby league world view our humble abode and how they enjoyed their experience

Better than the Jungle

Aye, good ground.

Seats are a bit tight, but then again I did have a ' large ' gentleman sat next to me which didnt help.

Super league standard, for sure.

I've always liked it at the Halton stadium.

No issues - good ground better than half of the teams in SL.

I thought that your stadium was very good. Lots of parking in the side streets, ample ladies toilets, bar queues not too bad; and for a new build stadium the atmosphere was awesome, accoustics were great

Still being a child hey.
Of course it's better than the jungle. Widnes have a good ground.

better than most super league grounds, my only probelm was that to go to the toilet from the stands i had to go up, then down, then walk about a mile through the food court (which is definanetly not big enough especially when its sold out)

Great atmosphere, infact best atmosphere of any new stadium. Good facilities but the concourse is way too small and there is not enough room tbh.

Good ground.
Super League standard without doubt.
Can be improved as has been said but so can most grounds.
Stobart stad will be an asset to SL.
Just a matter of time.

Puts Cas, Wakefield, Bridgend to shame. and free car parking at the council buildings.

Swap you for our rented accomodation anytime.

Once again treated like sh*te, today, had to board the Coaches at the far side of the Wendyball Dome, DW stadium far too posh to let the lodgers get too close. I hate that place.

Good stadium. My only real gripe being there really is not enough space underneath on the concourse for getting in and out/food and drink, it feels very cramped down there (and smells a bit). Apart from that no issues really.

No where near enough parking (on street doesn't count I'm afraid its hit and miss) for this type of event.

The concourses are far to small and claustraphobic, shouldn't like to have to get out in a hurry.

Score board is knackered. No clock anywhere to be seen (from where I sat North Stand).

Some stewards are useless, 14 year old girls doing their nails and not a clue aren't stewards they are just making up the legal number of hi vis jackets.

Having said all that, better than several SL clubs, but getting in SL isn't all about stadia there are several other criterea.

Street parking does count when your ground isnt built on a retail outlet but in residential area, ala, Sts, Wakey, Cas, Salford, Leeds, etc etc. There is plenty of parking all within a 15 min walk.

Stewards i agree with, Even the grown adults who are there permanantly (not agency) are useless too.

Scoreboard, Nothing wrong with it apart from 1 or 2 bulbs (must hold around 300 i reckon), There is normally a clock but with the screen being there Im sure most grounds take of THEIR scoreboard clock too as to not confuse fans with the 2 times. In fact im certain it happens at DW when on Sky.

Was the guy a big pie eater?

If widnes get a chance in superleague i am sure everything else will improve as we be given more money and more away fans.Batley no offence only bring a mini bus.

Excellent stadium in my opinion but I could have been stood in a muddy field yesterday and I wouldn't have cared.

Street parking isn't a facility, it is a nuisence for locals, people often are parked illegally (we are lucky that the illegal parking tends to be blind eyed). Street parking makes access and egress difficult for spectators, locals and emergency services and puts pedestrians at risk.

I don't care about the other clubs you mentioned you asked about only one stadium.

The clock at the DW stadium is on during televised games but switched off when it gets down to about 5 minutes to go to avoid confusion I believe. The clock may have been on the screen but from where I was sat, a very similar position to where I sit at the DW with the screen on the same side and at the opposite end just as when I am at the DW, the clock wasn't visible. Therefore I will add to my gripes crap sightlines.

If you ask questions and you don't like the answers maybe you shouldn't ask questions.

a lot better than many super league grounds!! but the front row seems to be dug in the ground! i was seated on the third row and could see but a little lad on the front row couldn't see a thing! they should get rid or the first 10 or so rows and have standing in front like Catalans or hull Kr (but Better)

as i think any new ground should have both seating and standing. much better atmos!

To be fair, I didnt ask, I added to the debate. If you dont like opinions either dont reply



Parking isnt a criteria for an adequate stadium. The screen was property of BBC, Not ours so because your sight problems meant you couldnt see it, Again, Shouldnt be held against Widnes.

I'm sure clock isn't on at all when the game is televised on Sky at the DW unless I'm very much mistaken.

As for the Stobart Stadium it is a very good stadium, much better than some I have visited. One bit of advice though might be to have an entrance and an exit door on the toilets, can be a bit of a nightmare to get out when there is a line of people waiting to get in.

Awesome ground as much parking as Wires ground (not supposed to park on Tesco you see), sts ground wakey the list is endless...Wigan has masses of parking due to planning, Widnes didnt need it as its built on the old ground.
