It is an inescapable fact of these forums that any thread with the word 'stadium' in the title will generate at least 15 pages of Cas and Wakey fans indulging in comparative penile studies.

You do know that if someone started talking about then international game on a thread about stadia, that could be classed as derailment dont you?
Or are you saying that we should all now let you give all titles a once over just in case you dont like them?

So, you're a Cas fan aren't you? Have you graphed yours? I bet it looks like the Laffer Curve

well we have better stadia than NRL even of the game isn;t close~!

It seems to be different Down Under though. I watched Balmain v Manly at the Leichardt Oval in 1989 and technically the ground was a dump but for some reason i didn't feel that way about my surroundings. We were sat on the hill eating our four 'n twenty pies and it was just a great feeling. Maybe it was the weather, maybe it was because i was on holiday?

Maybe it was THE GAME that was the key point of being there and everything else secondary.

You're preaching to the converted.

no you dont
other than brookie oval every other nrl ground is up to date

you seem unaware of the hundreds of millions gone into RL stadia the past decade

there's a differance between patching up old grounds like we are doing at Craven Park or Dragons, Cronulla, etc are doing, and having a state of the art new stadium with decent seating, views, capacity, facilties etc.

Gold Coast, Melbourne, Brisbane, Newcastle eventually,SFS great grounds. The majority of the rest are semi run down suburban holes with very expensive sticky plasters. Even Parramatta, that is often spoke about as a decent ground, showed its inability to provide fans a decent experience a few weeeks ago. Any conincidence that clubs who play at SFS/ANZ and suburban grounds avg higher attendances at the SFS/ANZ games?

no the suburban grounds arent just patched up.

you need to know what you are talking about

kogarah has had $30 million in it.

like newcastle has been done up kogarah has had massive improvements, so is win stadium

cronulla has a new grandstand meaning it has grandstands on 3 sides

no NRL ground is as bad as craven park.

even brookie is nicer.

SL has cas, wakey, bradford and hull kr in inferior grounds.

its funny you forgot to mention anz stadium, its not as if 2 clubs play there or something

tbh I don;t rate ANZ for club games, great for finals etc but shocking atmosphere for club games and miles from the pitch due to the low pitch of the seats. when it rains you have to upsticks and move to the back of the stands.

sounds a lot like my experiences of twickenham.
(prepares for rugby union backlash, then remembers they will probably just kick a ball in my general direction then hit the deck and end up engaging in homoerotic wrestling before they get within touching distance of me)
