| I've voted for Headingley.
I love the ground, have some cracking memories of the place, and you get a cracking fish butty on the way back to the car.

46584_1279360105.jpg Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves

Yes.
On the subject in hand I don't understand why anyone would vote for the KC and if it wasn't for the obvious lure of Wigan away I would say the same about the JJB. I've been to both grounds as an away fan of both an RL team and a football team and they are both football grounds that are too big for RL in my opinion.
Wigan and Hull are two of the best supported clubs in Super League, no denying that, but there's still thousands of empty seats at the majority of their games which is not condusive to a great atmosphere. That's why I was so pleased when the HJ was built that we got it right in my opinion and built a ground suitable for our needs rather than an oversized soulless all seater.
The KC and JJB might meet the needs of Hull City and Wigan Athletic respectively, at least while they're in the Premier League, but the RL clubs get a raw deal I reckon. Give me a [ireal[/i rugby league ground like Cas anyday. I'll be gutted when that goes and if it wasn't for the fact that every single trip I've made there has seen me witness a soul destroying defeat I'd miss Knowsley Road too if I'm honest.
If you're simply impressed by the grounds themselves (KC and JJB) I suggest you go to more grounds outside RL as they're both just glorified Lego sets.

I can understand your point exactly, it's the same with the Galpharm. Obviously RL isn't as big as Football. On that point then i'd have to go with Odsal, i don't know what it is about the place i just love going there.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

The game against wire will be the 'big one'. It's a marketing capaign we used for the leeds game last year, we got over 20k for that game with 2,000 from leeds. Tickets will be £5 and £10.

| Maybe because its just in France, but I love watching us in Perpignan. The French fans are so enthusiastic, albeit annoying, but they can create a real atmosphere when they're doing well. Plus the weather is always nice when we go.

I have been to the JJB with over 20k RL fans in on a fair few occasions, and the atmosphere is outstanding, and that is why it gets my vote.
