These new soulless grounds don't appeal to me at all. A trip to The Willows would have been far more appealing to me.

Is it not about the game? The Willows was past its best.

Well according to Paddock the reason to be there is because of a new stadium. I still might go, but its nothing to do with the ground. I agree, all about the match, hopefully a winnable one.

I agree with your comments about soulless grounds. Maybe modern is the term for 4 smallish stands. Warrington(although they have linked their stands), Leigh, Widnes possibly Quins are like this

I'll settle for souless if it means I can have a leak at half time without needing industrial grade wellies and a gas mask! I still shudder at the memory of the River Caves at Central Park (although 4 pints in Billy Boston's beforehand probably didn't help!).

Surprise Surprise, another negative post from Lister.

FFS, cheer up you miserable bar stard.

Shock horror, Riverside Red jumping on one of my posts

Obsessed

How are you going to call it soulless before you visit it?
Surely you should visit it first and then decide if you hate it or not. I'd want to go to experience their new ground, a trip to the Willows doesn't appeal to me at all, (mostly because of the locals though)

Are you expecting different fans at the new ground- Salford is Salford

PP it can have as much green belt as it wants, as I said Salford is Salford!! I used to live within punting distance of it!! for many years!
My dad took me to the Robins bar at the Willows when it first opened as it at the time was the mecca of the north for entertainment ! in the days when cabaret type clubs ruled the north.

Some time later he took me to this modern "thing" called Yates Wine bar which had infiltrated the north in Urmston.

How times have changed.

The stadium's disappointing for me. Completely lacking in character and artistic merit. A real come down from the early hype and artists impressions. Good for Salford and RL no doubt but doesn't excite me in any way. Saints ground looks great though, and looking forward to improvements at Wire too.

No one fancy the Travelodge Central, right in Town £19 pn with great bar and loads of life around it, you all need to get out more, booked anyway, i, myself and three other beds, so Mr Smith, all sorted, boogie tyhe night away at sashas

What RL team actually has the finance to build a ground with any architechtural merit?

Priorities
1. A pitch that has drainage
2. Toilets
3. A stand with a roof

any thing else is a bonus.


Was at Brentford yesterday, and IMO that pitch is not capable of having rugby played on it, cut up badly, far too much sand on it.
