Quote: Erik the not red "NCP is by far the worst relatively modern stadium I have seen anywhere in any sport. By the 1980's it was possible to build stadiums with unrestricted views anywhere in the ground and there is really no excuse for the abortion the dobbins put up especially considering they effectively had a blank canvas with no restrictions on alignment and such. Yet they still had seats in the best stand where you couldn't see all the pitch. Unbelievably poor but that's why its the worst, they can't even get the barest basics right.
Its one thing to be lumbered with stands that date from the 1950's and earlier and having to make the best you can to improve but to start off rubbish, when the ability to do better existed, as at NCP is inexcusable.
I would be interested if any dobbins apologists can come up with a worse stadium or even stand than NCP of similar vintage.'"
I agree our stadium is not the best and it never will be however you have clubs like Wakefield and Catleford who have promised improvements and never even remotely got close to delivering. We where ed over with Craven Park and we should have had a far better stadium delivered in 1989 that never happened and that's History. What the new regime ala Hudgell have done under severe financial constraints is massive. In the last 6 years we've delivered.
1) New £400k Pitch.
2) New Bars(Especially the massive East stand bar)
3) New Turnstyles
4) Bought the North Stand. (+1261 Capacity)
5) East Stand extension(+1500 capacity)
6) Opened the Rotary youth club
7) New Gym under East stand
New education centre
And soon to be built
1) New North Stand (+2600 Capacity)
2) 2nd East stand extension (+1500 Capacity)
We haven't exactly being stood still on the stadium front.
