Quote: fatbaztod100 "correct me if I'm wrong but is the DW the largest capacity in the SL? off top my head I can only think that hudds and Hull could be any where near 25k'"

According to wikipedia

Galpharm - 24,500
DW Stadium - 25,133
KC Stadium - 25,404

Also worth noting is that before Health and Safety was an issue, Odsal had 102,000+ on for a CC replay in 1954.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif

I think huddersfield is lower capacity and Hull can never reach their capacity as it always gets reduced for the Hull derbies and it gets now where near when other teams go there.

Not sure what odsal can take nowa days but I think it has the biggest potential capacity as it's took over 100k before now.

I knew before health and safety brigade came in I knew attendances where much higher. I knew some anoraks would know than looking it up.

I looked at Wikipedia with regards to Odsal. It says they are looking at turning it into an 18k all seater.
The highest SL attendance was against Wigan in 1999 24020
Last season average was around 5k up on 2010 8891 v 13351
Admittidly it doesn't say what the current capacity is

you could always go on Wiki and alter the stats to make the DW the biggest.

ive heard they are filling in the corners, and installing a sliding roof, with a view to sharing with a NFL British franchise.......and renaming it after the proposed owner of the NFL team (Mr Pye), who's planning on buying out Whelan, moving the latics to Orrell, and renaming it THE PYE DOME

With regards with the capacity at the KC Stadium why is lower for Hull FC than the when the football side was in the premier league and im sure they have allocated seating.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

Quote: Pemps "Odsal is currently 20,000'"


A couple of years ago it was 27,000. Must have some very over zealous H&S men in Bradford to limit Odsal to 20,000.

If they could by some means fill the corners in, would it be possible to make enough room somewhere for a couple of changing rooms and some excess stock from the shop?

The extra seats could be filled with all the flags that Whittle has stolen.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery....... I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself. Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king" 'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure' 'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it' Worry will not prevent destiny from unfolding.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3632.jpg

Monitoring outside for the people inside:



Not a prayer for either team the demand simply isn't there and i'm not jealous of Warington for having a fully integrated stadium as there's is a relatively cheap stadium with absolutely no architectural features of any merit what so ever.

As opposed to the DW whose architectural splendour could rival Florence or Paris.

The HJ might be cheap but it's ours.....envy.

Jealous of anything Wire related..... nahhhhhhhh. Still, if it makes you happy to think we are envious, knock yourself out...
