"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

Must mean we are confident of this development getting the go ahead? Would we have voted for 12 knowing we would be 1st in line for the chop should the stadium plans fail?

As posted on the Trinity forum. It's a shot to nothing for the club. If the stadium doesn't come off they're out of SL anyway regardless of numbers. If they do get it and other's don't then they are in a strong position to retain their license regardless of numbers.

Oh they all have.
These grounds should have been sorted about 8 years ago.
Lied's probably the wrong word, going back on promises.
Dont forget, teams like Leigh and Widnes have grounds built, the others have been fibbing about plans for years |

Still not right, I'm usually proud of my club but IF true I'm disgusted - not that they care what I think. |

To be fair councils like Wigan and Halton have grounds built, the teams were just the beneficiaries, although with Leigh I’m not so sure they feel they have benefited with the move (starbug will no doubt correct me if wrong). |

Incorrect report by YP.
Wakey voted for 14 clubs - as I would hope and most would expect!

If you can't beat them don't join them
Just post rumours on forums:10084.jpg |
|
|
Regarding that YP reporthttp://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/rugby-league/Super-League-clubs-have-rethink.6054234.jprl
Is the bit about a Co-op club being certain to be promoted something that has ever been officially stated, or the YP's own slant on things?

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 |

So far it would seem that outside the top tier , getting a new stadium isn't of any great help at all , they make it more difficult to create atmosphere , and while they might have excellent corporate facilities , outside SL there isnt actually the need for those facilities , they also cost more to play in , and as the clubs usually dont have any say in how they are run they tend to alienate the fan base
Basically they are not good unless they are at least 50 % full , so for the vast majority of Championship clubs a stadium of around 4/5,000 capacity would be better |
