| For stewarding and matchday food/refreshments the KC is by far the worst in SL - by a country mile. . .IMO!
The best stand, view, atmosphere and facilities in SL is the East Stand at MS3CP (this is a value-free opinion lol).
The worst ground in SL is The Stoop - it sort of growls at the thought of league being played on union's hallowed turf. The atmosphere is that deadening you may as well have gone to the KC o watch FC (maybe not).
Many people diss Wakefields ground but I can literally fall out of the pub onto the terraces for what is a sky-line view compared with the rest of the stadium.
The most entertaining stadium is Headingley - win or lose its a cracking atmosphere. . . even if it is sarling down.

| How on earth Mrs B was allowed to introduce thread drift I don't know lol! But she did mention the KDC and inferred from this that the Council own MS3CP. I think consideration as to who owns the KDC is called for first before making it a fact or even an assumption.
As far as I am aware, the KDC is a non-profit organisation (unlike the SMC) which is the acting caretaker and legal gaurdian of the land leased by the Council to Hull Kingston Rovers Limited. A nominal rent (undisclosed) is paid annually. HKR Ltd 'own' the leases and are liable for all repairs and maintenance of the property assigned under the leases. HKR Ltd have to aply for development of leasehold land from the KDC.
The qestion is who are the main parties running the KDC? The answer to this I don't know!!!!! However, an old mucker of mine Don Robinson told me when Gainsgroup was no longer required (once the CVA had been satisfied), the new organisation would be fronted by the Chairperson of HKR Ltd, a representative from the Council and another party (in Gainsgroup it was a local foirm of chartered accountants). I don't know if this happened.

I did not "introduce thread drift", I was responding directly to a question. No introduction of the topic by me, cockle.

| Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Ahsleyheard1989, your reasoning that The stoop memorial is 'THE' worst ground in SL make no sense at all. It is easily one of the better stadiums with excellent facilities and very friendly fans, sure it isn't particularly easy to get to & yes it hasn't been near full aside from a Saints game a few years back. But to say it is the worst or one of the worst grounds because of it not having a capacity crowd is a pituful reason & not valid in any way. You can't base a 'worst' stadia on your criteria...'"
Ok thenm it may not be the worst.. But its the most wasted use of a stadium in the super league..

| The thing is just say hypothetically, Hull City kicked you out (don't get into all the arguments i know they can't) and a new stadium was built for HullFC that was identical to The Stoop in every single aspect, would you be happy playing out of that stadium? The answer is of course you would BUT if you had to play at NCP or BV would you be happy, i know i wouldn't.

Yes to the first question, no to the second.
Don't get the downer on The Stoop at all - excellent ground IMO. And you can get fish and chips, even scampi, and a Mr Whippy. A "no-brainer".

| Always had a good time at The Stoop. Just a shame the local Londoners didn't agree and stayed away. More fool them.
(Beer was flat as hell, though, but the bar was relatively well-staffed.)

At least Phil Lowe did well from raping local businesses in the "satisfying" your 1p in the £ CVA. You want to stop burying your head in the sand.

Well said that man. At least most Hull fans are now seeing how Rule et al raped us. Yet the poor reds just can't see what happened with them.

Scampi & a Mr Whippy?
Even Heston Blumenthal would struggle with that combination

| Would love to say Belle Vue as I can't stand Wakey, the club,fans or ground. On the other hand though, Odslum is terrible, hole in the ground, exposed to the elements, bully bully and other assorted cr&p piped through the PA.
