My 'gripe' with a lot of the criticism levelled at CP is that its not consistent. I'll be the first to agree the South stand is not acceptable and should either not be used or if it is it should be an overspill area that is priced accordingly and that price should reflect the view. Thats a whole other issue that hopefully will be addressed and the urine will stop being extracted when pricing for derbies are sorted. As for the rotting foodstuffs, who left them? that end only has more than a couple of dozen people in it on one occassion a year, if this had not been cleaned for 12 months surely it would have rotted to nothing, if not it can only have been there from the day in question. The only other option is that the Rovers board actually shipped in rotting food stuffs for this game??

The North stand view is good, far better than the view from established grounds such as Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, to be fair there are few grounds with seats as close to the ground as that stand. Yes its open to the elements but as above so are many grounds in SL. I've had near pneumonia the last 3 times I've been to headingly and am fully expecting the same on Feb the 3rd.

well said

good comparison apart from Mogadishu is mostly sunny

Can someone link the story where Rovers promised the RFL that in 2010 they would have a 14k capacity venue with more covered seats?

Drove past the place the other day - needless to say there is no sign of any building work. What a bunch of shysters they are.

Belle Vue the worst I've been to. Never been Caravan Park, and don't plan to.

I agree our stadium is not the best and it never will be however you have clubs like Wakefield and Catleford who have promised improvements and never even remotely got close to delivering. We where ed over with Craven Park and we should have had a far better stadium delivered in 1989 that never happened and that's History. What the new regime ala Hudgell have done under severe financial constraints is massive. In the last 6 years we've delivered.

1) New £400k Pitch.
2) New Bars(Especially the massive East stand bar)
3) New Turnstyles
4) Bought the North Stand. (+1261 Capacity)
5) East Stand extension(+1500 capacity)
6) Opened the Rotary youth club
7) New Gym under East stand


New education centre

And soon to be built
1) New North Stand (+2600 Capacity)
2) 2nd East stand extension (+1500 Capacity)

We haven't exactly being stood still on the stadium front.

All that and still looks like a pile of .

So how do you know it looks like a pile of ???

i,m guessing tv

Probably saw this

THAT IS FUNNY !!
maybe they meant KR on the Ledge end???
or KR Leg End

Don't have to be inside to know it looks e

Is that the actual view from the away end?

Wouldn't know!

Nah its the latest view of the east stand extension build

We see the worst of Rovers because we get allocated the South stand but there is still the choice to get tickets in the north. Rovers have done what most clubs would do, they have concentrated on improving the areas that their own fans sit/stand and you cannot blame them for that. Imagine the stick they would get from their own fans if they decided to make sure the visitors were sorted out before themselves.
Yes it is one of the poorer stadiums but for me you can put Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford all in the same bracket.

Leeds ground is only really substandard for the away fans during adverse weather otherwise it's great.

On the other foot though which away ground provide the best facilities?
I'd go with The Stoop, nice ground, nice bar and if you stay after the game a band and a chat with the players.

I love your ground, a true purpose built RL ground and the 2 pintersicon_smile.gif

Quality reason for liking a rugby ground

There's no way Headingley and Belle Vue can be classed in the same bracket.



Vs.

There is when it's pis[is[/iing down

headingley north stand aint that great! old wooden seating and posts restricting views

There's only 1 decent side/stand at headingley. It really is a sheethole and it's only redeeming feature is the history of the cricket ground

Headingley is my second worst ground. Their loos are disgusting, too.

Craven Park, I do not like going there, I have been once since they came up and will not be going back.

its total pants ..........................
