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.

You mustn't get out much.

Well Celtic, Quins and Catalans all bring less than Batley.

I am sure your average will go up by quite a few thousand, Widnes currently average close to 4,000 so this could easily go up to around 7,000 I rekon.

Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Hull FC, Hull KR, Castleford, Warrington, Bradford and Salford will all bring better away support than you currently get with the obvious big clubs and ones in close proximity bringing thousands. I doubt the RFL take this into account tbh.

Why should they, its a clubs responsibility to get as many people as possible into its stadium, it is not the responsibility of the away team to fill it.

Gte out plenty thanks.

Only Wigans and Hulls ground in SL better it for me. Name me another?

Galpharm

Nothing wrong with it at all much better than the Brewery Field

far better than there. Not maintainred very well Galpharm and felt dated when I was last there.

Nice stadium, been before and was impressed then.

Only fault I can find really is the narrowness of the concourses.

When was you last there? When it was Fartown!!!! Huddersfield moved from there a very long time ago.

If you think Eddie ChinStubbleFart is as good as the Galpharm then you sir are blind, stupid or possibly both*.

* Or taking the p!$$

Stobart stadium is nice ground.

There are other grounds too far better than anything SL has to offer.

Doncaster and Leigh to name 2 !

half of the teams play on football grounds you included ! so to yap on about others teams grounds is taking the pee pee dont ya think

hows that work then?

or maybe im honest and you sir are a cock

agree with that

You asked me to name one more stadium in SL better than Stobart, I gave you a stadium that beats it hands down on all counts, if you cannot accept that as a simple fact then you are the cock around here.

I don't deny that the ground at Widnes is better than some in SL, but to deny that the Galpharm is better than Stobart just makes you look the complete fool you obviously are.
