Not the case for all clubs. And in any case, are you seriously suggesting that better stadia are putting fans off going?


The smell is better because there are toilets instead of a wall to pi$$ against.

I really don't get this rosy-spectacled longing for old and crumbling stadia not fit for human habitation. Are you all masochists or something?

No , we are bored , we dont like squeaky clean sanitised sport [ sorry sports business ] , we prefer blood,spit and ' real ' sport , that means something to us , good though the KC is , it does not get anywhere near the Boulevard

True, I've never felt threatened with violence at the KC for starters

Starbug, if you truly prefere life in second rate, run down and out of date facilities, you keep em.

Me, I'll stick to a world class, award winning venue and get a better view of the action

When did the game and some supporters become so snobby? Fans of certain teams will be wanting heated seats next. I know some grounds are not up to scratch but in all cases the teams are trying their hardest to rectify this. Does not make anyone better than another. A lot of teams in SL are fortunate to be in the situation the are in with stadia built by football clubs, not with much imput from themselves.

Allianz Arena is world class. Dortmund have a great stadium too. Eastlands and the Emirates are highly regarded too. There are many more. No RL stadium in this country comes close to matching any of these stadiums.

I hate having to get up and sit down again every 5 minutes because some weak bladdered cretin wants a pi$$. You can't beat standing - in a ground like Castleford's i have to say (brilliant atmosphere). Call me cloth capped - i prefer "retro" stadiums .....anyday !!!

I think my irony-o-meter just exploded.

I wasn't challenging his right to hold an opinion, I was disagreeing with it. Hyperbole to make a point is hardly over-dramatising, and TBH Starbug does it all the time.

Have a nice day.

General opinion is teams with $hit grounds prefer $hit grounds and teams with modern grounds prefer modern grounds.

That's what bugs me about fans from those clubs banging on about Wakey, Cas, Saints et al 'breaking promises' over stadia. They probably don't realise that without a football team leading your charge, it's a hell of a lot harder and long-winded process to getting a new stadium built - especially when you're going to own the stadium as these clubs will.

In fact, in SL is there any team other than Warrington who has funded their stadium build?

Wasn't that Tesco?

I don't find RL boring just because I watch it in a stadium with seats and hygienic toilets. RL is RL, regardless of where it's played or whether you watch it stood up or sat down.
