RBS mate, millions of pounds frittered away on high profile sporting sponsorships so their bigwigs could lord it up.

I agree, queuing to get up or down stairs, the ban on taking drinks into the seating area, meant at half time people had to stand in the pokey areas near the bars which was made worse by the queue for the toilets etc. It was shoulder to shoulder in there, i'm sure they're laws against doing that to animals let alone human beings we saw people waiting to et down off stairs but didn't move for 10 mins as there was nowhere for them to go.

An awful ground overall, why can't we arrange or go to a ground that allows a drink to be taken with you to sit down, like every RL ground.

You've never been to the KC I take it?

Long term, we really do need to consider something somewhere to call home.

The advantages of it would be numerous.

We could actually have a home. Keep going to Old Trafford for the big one, keep going to Wembley every August, but play the CC semi finals as a double header at the new ground. Use it for the Northern Rail, the Championship playoffs.

The potential for it being sold off as an alternative for gigs, and conventions is electric. Undercut the market.

Build the head offices into it. Build a museum to compliment the one at the George in Huddersfield there.

IF our game has vision, and there are certainly enough clever heads running clubs, then it is possible and it should be a success. It may finally be the thing that unites our very parochial sport.

Why don’t rugby league have a stadium of its own

Obvious now you mention it - I've heard all about Freddies Edinburgh dining room

Because the governing body never thought of it 100 years ago when it should of been done, we would currently have a stadiums like Twickers or Murrayfield with tradition and history and it would be a home of RL, but this is not the case.

Given its size and location we could build a "Wembley of the North" at Odsal, maybe a "Superdome" type arena, or possibly just a "Sporting Village".

People keep banging on about Eastlands and the pitch the main reason is they are only allowed a certain amount of non football events they choose to do concerts as these are massive money pullers and RL is not.

Sshhhh, we can demand to play where and when we want and no one is gonna stop us...

- Because we play 2 games a year which would fill said stadium (assuming it was 40,000+)
- RL's international game is poor and no way on the scale of Union or football, were very much a club game
- we have an abundance of suitable stadiums, we have access to Old Trafford and Wembley
-I would imagine sponsorship of international RL is poor because of TV viewing figures throughout the UK
-building stadiums is a wee bit expensive.

Not financially feasible. Would cost 150mill+ Would need to be used by at elast one club preferably two to make it worthwhile, would need to be in a central location and we would need to play more big games to make it worthwhile. RFL will never have the money.

Your right its all been wasted on overseas crocks!!

Which is why I am saying we should do it along with Leeds Utd or Bradford football and rugby as part of the OSP.
