Quote: moto748 "That makes sense, Trainman. Although I would say that in my view, that slope at OT, combined with a very narrow in-goal, and the proximity of the wall, make it unsuitable for rugby league (and less than ideal for football, too). For a club with Man Utd's money, though, nothing that couldn't be sorted.
And for sure, why not the same kind of thing at the DW?'"
It's always the bottom line that it comes down to money though raising the pitch should significantly reduce upkeep and renewal costs.
The reason I said to loose a couple of rows of seats is that a slope similar to old Trafford could be avoided. It's not like either us or latics fill the stadium very often so no big deal to loose a thousand seats or so.
