Is it in stereo?!

I must say it looks very impressive, no doubt this will be the best purpose built rugby league stadium in the country, which excludes, Galpharm, KC and JJB. It will be good to see more teams playing in good stadiums. No doubt it will be a cracking atmosphere for the derbies.

Interesting point about purpose built RL stadiums (sorry, stadia) in Superleague. Assuming Salford is ready before us we'll be only the 3rd new purpose built RL stadium in Superleague, if not we'll be the 2nd. Depressing really.

Can't see Salfords being finished before ours. Very little sign of activity there!

no chance of Salfords new stadium getting up before ours...they will still be playing at the Willows in NL1 when we have played 10 years at the new ground.

Salford havent put out any tenders yet. They have got planning permission but no money.

Without tenders for construction contracts its nothing more than a dream.

Once tenders are signed re the Saints stadium we know the ground will start to go up

Why is it depressing?

I think it would be great if everyone had a stadium at least as good as LSV.

Castleford, Wakefield, Bradford, Catalans, St Helens, Celtic and Salford should all have new stadiums within the next 10 years although if we are lucky in some cases. A few of those will be done within 2-3 and some 5 hopefully. Also Hull KR and Leeds with plans to extend existing stadiums, these will be great still having the old features of rugby league stadia. Hull, Hudds, Wigan, Warrington and Quins already have sufficient facilities. With the main applicants for super league being Leigh, Widnes and Halifax and all of these having good stadia, the future looks bright for stadiua within rugby league. At least we are heading in the right direction.

Dont forget, we are moving our current toiletS into the new stadium also.

I'm assuming he means its depressing that there are not already more new build 'purpose-built RL stadia' by now in superleague?

The plans look good. I just hope that we don't end up feeling too far away from the action as in some places. One of the great things about KR is that there is a definite feeling of being a part of it.

Well, I wasn't actually thinking about that, probably since the most abusive I get towards players and/or officials is something like 'whaddya think ya doin?' Granted, I shout it loudly, but it's more likely to elicit a laugh than anything else.

I was thinking more about the excitement of a possible try or a great hit or like when Leeds came to visit and we almost had open warfare on the pitch. Man, that was a good match! I'd hate to lose that kind of experience. But in all other respects, can't wait for the new stadium, much as KR has many fond memories.
