Quote: braytontiger "give me the railway end at the jungle on a sunday afternoon over any of the new grounds,dont get me wrong we need a new stadium urgently or at the very least a new main stand, to me its just a great view to watch a game with the chance to brush shoulders with opposing fans which sadly is becoming a thing of the past inside grounds which is a huge shame because thats what sets our game apart from others.

of the new grounds doncaster is the best ive been to due to its compactness which generates a great atmosphere,the kc dw and galpharm are nice to look at but lets face it they are built for football not rugby.'"


just for your information, the kc wasn't built just for football as you claim, both hull fc and hull city were involved when the stadium was designed.

I've been to the Galpharm with 6,000 on and it's been a terrific atmosphere. Personally, I've no problem with any of them - people might call them soul-less, but I think they're developing their little quirks as time passes.

and who will pay for it?? hull city will be lucky to be still in the premiership at the end of this season let alone 2018!!

does it really matter if the ground doesn't sell out every game! fc are one of only a couple of clubs making a profit after each season.

its ok saying how great grounds like the jungle are, until you lose you license for SL over it, thats why i'm thankfull we play where we do, full house or not!

if people enjoy old-fashioned grounds, then why banish them?

New stadiums will encourage larger attendances and more punters through the gates.

For sporting events with any sort of live audiences, health & safety is the number 1 priority.

Health and safety?

I must have missed all those people getting killed watching Cas.

Agree with most posters, but should also add that the Jungle and Knowsley Road look and sound infinitely better on TV than the half empty concrete monstrosities found in Wigan, Huddersfield, and Hull.

yeah, encourage a larger attendance for one game for people to see what the ground is like
