Dont like wigans it to souless for my tastes, was dissapointed with the kc when i visited after years of looking forward to it. In the lower leagues the chemics ground left me feeling underwhelmed. Of the 'new' stadiums i have visited donny and warrington have been best.

i like all grounds when my team is playing there - as long as there is a pitch for the game to be played on i couldnt really care about the rest of the surroundings

i disagree. a ground with a decent atmosphere makes the entrance fee MUCH more worth it IMO

No atmosphere is the norm for him, except of course when the mighty Hull KR hit town icon_lol.gif

Probably more the fact that you've failed to win there on every occasion you have visited.

Must be creeping up to 10 now.

it can do, but your talking to someone who started following Huddersfield in the late 80's when atmosphere was something we saw on the TV on cup fnal day icon_biggrin.gif

having a pitch to play on is far more important though !!

JJB is good , Like a day out to hudds but the emptiness is a problem.

Still not been to hull.

Out of the new grounds not a big fan of wires new ground.

The standing is uncomfortably steep and always feels stewarded on the edge of safety - rammed for a saints wire game and I suspect for the semi as well.

Like many I like some of the older grounds for atmosphere but I can understand families and the ladies liking a much higher standard of facilities.

Sunday afternoon away games in Yorkshire - sunday lunch - then a game and listening to pies fans who havent been to a game since they moved from central park moaning on GMR on the wayback. Heaven.

All the "modern" grounds have 1 BIG problem.

You can't change ends at 1/2 time.

You have to sit in terrible seats and pay over the odds to doso.

They are souless monstrosities.

In SL the only grounds that may possibly let you go from one end to the other are Leeds? , Salford, Saints and Cas.

Only Leeds is a "modern" Stadium but it has atmosphere.

The worst, the terrible, windy, souless, bad to get to and park Galpharm Stadium.

So much potential but a total joke played by the planners and architects.

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.

Like any big, modern, international class stadium, Huddersfield needs a fair few people in to have a real atmosphere

Ultimately though the games are what creates the armosphere, not the ground, the tension, the excitement and not the ground.

You could be at any old, tired ground and have no atmoshpere if the game is flat and one sided

Keepmoats OK, but you can't beat the old grounds where you can nearly touch the players 'cos you're so close to the pitch. I suspect the players quite like the banter too, judging by the looks on their faces at some of the shouted comments!

I would miss the banter with the away fans if we were to go down the segregation route, and I HATE sitting down in those bloody plastic seats!

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.

maybe so but other than the hull derby it will always be half full for games,also what happens if the f.a choose the kc for the world cup has a venue which is the plan isnt it, a 46000 seater stadium.
