There were a lot of new Wire fans at the ground. I was asked directions several times by people who didn't know where anything was.

This meant that a lot of wire fans didn't realise there are gates at the back of the stadium too as well as some further down the road. So there were long queues at a couple of gates and many other gates empty. I walked past a queue with 100 or more people in it and walked through a turnstile without having to queue at all.

I really hope there are so many for the league match so that they do get to come in early. With an academy game on there would be plenty of time to get people in earlier and avoid turnstile congestion

Odsal is unique, Odsal is magnificent, Odsal has history & tradition, Odsal oozes character and the truth is that our ground & club ethos is envied by every other club supporter in Rugby League. IMO, most Bulls supporters would not change a thing about their ground and certainly do not want to become another boring, monotonous "standardised" venue like the majority in our sport are becoming.
Soulless stadia for soulless supporters, you can keep it !!!!

A decent post apart from the bit highlighted. What is this club ethos you speak of?

I love visiting Odsal Stadium.......
