Yes i do agree that it is wasted on them with a small support but the thread was about the the stadia not the fanbase and i feel that the stadium is as good as any other |

For the record, no talk of Super League is allowed in conjunction with Doncaster. We no longer allow it.

seeing as you're bored.
If you gave
1 point for 0 to 2000 capacity
2 points for 2001 to 5000 capacity
3 points for 5001 to 10,000 capacity
4 points 10,001 to 15,000 capacity
5 points 15,000 upwards
and
10 points for a stadium 15 years or younger
5 points for a stadium 15 to 25 years
2 points 25 +
-5 for every uncovered stand (potentially -20 points per ground)
bonus 5 points for any team that as played in top flight since the birth of Superleague
bonus 2 points for playing in championship since birth of superleague (excludes relegated from SL)
Who would be the top 20 teams (in order) ?

WEST COAST PIRATES
NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

Personally I don't understand RL's fascination with new grounds. As long as it is easy to park and get into, you get a decent view, it is at least 75% full and it has a good atmosphere then it gets a 10/10 from me.
I 100% prefer to stand at games as well.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

As I just said on another thread it's stadia that puts other sports so far ahead of RL. It's a massive issue for our sport. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

No it's not , it's money , both from paying fans,sponsors and TV revenue
If we could get all the clubs in SL operating at an average 80/90 % full and the Championship clubs operating at 40/50 % full we would start to pull in much more Sponsor and TV revenue
Unfortunatley we dont seem able to do that , when other sports , most notably football can |

can you lose points if your ground cant be used when you want it?
im thinking back to the time wigan had to play a home play off game at widnes and when the good friday fixture had to be played on a thursday night.both because their landlords (wigan athletic) needed the ground for football.

By the same token you should get extra points if you actually own your own ground rather than being lucky enough to play in new stadium purely because you either rent one from a Football club or are lucky enough to have a council that has funded one for you to rent back. |
