Aye fair point. It is noticeable at the LSV though where there's a much bigger gap on the West Stand because of the exec boxes when compared to the other stands, particularly the terrace.

Suppose you'd best get practicising <insert FOOOOORRRRWWWAAARRRD joke here>

Isnt that more a case of the fact the ground is virtually empty when Leigh are playing there, with most of the crowd probably standing up behind the goal.

Wires ground is an example of a stadium with a high roof line above the home terrace, yet which still manages to create a good atmosphere.
Same also can be said of the KC.

Agree to a certain extent but it's often said the acoustics at the HJ are far better for the away fans with a smaller space between the terrace and the roof. Up to the fans to make that a non-issue anyroad and I hope the move goes well for Saints - will try and get along to a game this year.

Very nice. Will enjoy visiting this year.
Will miss the old place though, good memories there.

Too many new grounds look too alike IMO. They should get creative like some of the newer ones in AUS.

With what money? While the new stadium in Melbourne is very impressive, that quality comes with a price tag.

Thought Salford had dropped the 'City' part of the name?

Nice stadium, the very best of luck kicking on and realising your potential as a club.
