So Trinity fans which of the designs for the stadium do you prefer?
1) Open corners- easy access to the front of the stands and a certain "openness" to the stadium.
2) Corners closed in- retains noise and adds to atmosphere.
Or
3) I don't care just get it built and let's move in!!!

Personally I'd go for a closed in stadium, I think they have far more atmospheric retention and therefore make for a more desirable venue.
But the corners being filled in can always be "phase 2"- ala Warrington, but that will cost more in the long run.

option 2 with red white and blue seating, but just get it built will do for me

Quite right, that'll do for me too!!

I'd like to see the four corners being built highr than the sides with big flags waving off the top of them.

Dreadnaught Castle!

It's not about 'choice' - it's about finance.

If we can get the money, we would like to build it with the corners in, but if we can't get it now, we can do it later.

It will cost more to do it later - as we would need to set up site for the builders all over again.

Getting it built and finished on time will do.

Is it worth buy a brink or some other fan finance to raise the funds.
The corners filled in IMO is a big plus.

I know we have funds to build- thank god- but some fan involvement would be the icing on the cake.
If we could work out how much extra that would be we could set that as a target for the fans, we've had some great fund raising over the dark years so I'm sure people would step up to the plate for this, the holiest of holy grails.

It may also be a question of having to do it over 2 years with summer rugby. Unless you ran the conversion of all 4 corners simultaneously, which again would be more costly.

I assume we won't go through the "fans consultation process" before we submit for FPP ala CT- we all saw the plans before the OPP stage, we're all happy and just want to see construction commence, as do YK- ergo no need for another consultation?? Any idea's on this Phil?

I like!

I'm sure that all these things will up for consideration, but there's only so much milk that can be gained from a small number of cows (no offence to anyone intended!).

I like the idea of having a brick in the wall at NM though!

Nope!

But I reckon it's all moving too fast to stop for this. The over-riding concern has to be to have a stadium to worry about!

I go with that. We can all have our ideal ground but for me the ideal is one that's built!!!

For any trinity fan wantiing to see what our stadium could be like, i recommend a trip to Chesterfield. The only major difference is that theirs is all seater. But the best ground of its size i have visited.

A stadium like The Shay at Halifax with the corners filled in would be the ultimate.

You need to get out more if you think that's good!

What's being planned for NM will blow the Shay away!

Something for the rest of RL to look up to.

And when we get this state of the art stadium, i aint going to any grotty grounds

Irony overload - love it!

Personally I have no interest in visiting the new ground at chesterfield, but the way we are playing at the moment it could be a strong possibility next season

I thought the stadium was having corners now. When it gets build we may aswell do it right its bad when you watch warrington play and you see cars going past.

Well if you're offering...

We play a brand of rugby at the HJ that means I dont find myself gazing out on to winwick road waiting for one of Eddie Stobarts finest to trundle past ...

but one for the future...
You shouldn't have had them corners filled in its bad when you watch wakefield and you see all them empty seats....????

I believe the corners would be terraced.

Me too. Can't wait to start using that line!

snob

you darent look outside the stadium at warrington for fearn of missing whatwever the locals are throwing at you. raw potatoes on my visit last year, and imo the hj is a dump
