Quote: Nev0807 "As I stated in another thread, the ground is perfectly adequate for the home fans along the sides. It's for the away fans who have to go in the ends that are a joke - one is rickety uncovered golf stand and the other a terrace about 50m behind the posts with no elevation and no view. We all know the the Jungle and it's limitations but I would take it along with BV and even Salford over Craven Park.'"
To be fair we're only in our third year in Super League, these ground improvements, which we know have to be done, can't happen overnight, especially in the current climate.
I understand that our South Stand is very poor, but to be honest, the North Stand is as near to the pitch as any other ground, fair enough it's not covered but nor are those at Wakefield, Salford, Leeds, etc. Also remember that many of our own fans can't get tickets for the East or West stands and use the North Stand. Our capacity is only just over 10, 000 and we desperately need to get that up to continue our progression. On the comment about home fans being okay, surely you look after your own fans first?
Our success on the field is paramount in us moving forward as far as ground improvements are concerned.
I thought you brought a good turnout lastnight, better than many other teams this season and I also thought it was a great game with both defenses at their best. I'm sure on current form, and with injured players back for both sides, we'll both be featuring in the playoffs.
