There are plans to make it bigger if the attendances make this need necessary.
What do you want a 20 K third full stadium or one which is full(hopefully)
You have to learn to crawl before you can walk as the saying goes.

250,000 people cross that bridge everyday IIRC...

looks like it's being built to the visualisation scale to me.



if you compare with Phase 3 scale , this looks more in proportion , however the team that plays there needs to be capable of commanding crowds to neccessitate a 20K Stadium ...

so some way off then

For now it is big enough and it is probably keeping us in Super League, so I can't complain too much. Plus the scale of it means it shouldn't take too long to build.

Middleman - the design's changed since those drawings. It's slightly less imaginative in its look now - phase 1 won't have the two covered corners and won't have the angles floodlights, and the main stand roof has been done more basically.

It looks tiny that stand, hopefully it wont be long until we upgrade to stage 3.

I'm throwing my hat in the ring here but IMHO we will NEVER get to phase 3 and we'll have to be really lucky to get to stage 2.

I know it may not be the iconic stadium we were all dreaming of but that little stand behind the sticks will still be bigger and better than the 'terrace' infront of The Willows clubhouse that we've got currently.

It may have been posted previously but here is what it will look like. http://www.reds.co.uk/cgi-flythrough Not a 20K iconic stadium granted, but a workable substainable ground. We need success and maybe just maybe more fans will come and stage 2 will be necessary. Warrington have only just began discussions on upgrading their capacity, and we are light years away from them.

to be fair, compared with the west stand it does look tiny! however taking into consideration that the west stand is a four story building and compared to the willows from inside the ground which is two stories, the new south stand is simalar in size to the austin trumanns sides which are not exacty tiny!?! big enough for us i would think
