starbug, you are one boring repetative man that I don't think I've seen one positive post on any thread

anyway back to the stadium, drove over last night. Couldn't really see much just some cabins but it was dark, was just wondering if anybody had more of an update?

Leeds - have redeveloped headingly to a standard required by the RFL and the RFL wont tell Leeds what to do
Hull KR - just secured funds to redevelop the stadium
Hull - new stadium
Warrinton - new stadium
Huddersfield - new stadium
Wigan - new stadium
Salford - new stadium plans
Saints - new stadium plans
Bradford - new stadium plans
Cass - new stadium plans
Wakefield - new stadium plans

The below 3 dont matter as they can do what they want with the full backing of the RFL;
Crusaders
Quinns
Catalan

The fact is we couldnt redevelope the Willows to the "required" standard, Im almost certain this was looked at and with the limited space and surrounding area plus cost just wasnt feasible.
Whether all the above planned builds happen is another matter, I would just like to see ours built and us playing in it, as was previously said its what we're getting, but has the provision for expansion.

Catalan DO matter and are doing their bit to respect the requirements of the RFL - witness the new west stand curently under construction on the Catalan Dragons board forum under 'stadium redevelopment' so do some groundwork before putting the boot in - can't say about Quins or Crusaders tho'.

Dirkdiggler was correct , Catalans dont matter when it comes to stadia , that is not their purpose in the grand scheme of things

It is irrelivant if they play at a 5,000 capacity dump or a 50,000 super stadium , their purpose is to improve the French national team , unfortunatly it isn't as simple as that , although long term it should happen

Catalans DO matter in the whole scheme of things,especially in france of course but to the RFLs great vision of expansionism

do you prefer the amenities of a decent stadium or some of the present dross which is still somehow allowed to charge hard-earned cash to watch a minor sport ? Does it matter that Odsal is improved or not ? by all accounts it's not changed much since the 70s & 80s when I was last in the stadium !

what is their purpose in the grand scale of things by the way ?

My understanding of the original comment was not that Catalans do not matter as a club, but that in terms of Super League Licenses and stadiums, Catalans, Crusaders and Harlequins are not under the same pressures as heartland clubs to upgrade stadiums or get kicked out, so that those three clubs do not matter in a stadium debate.

not at all shirty mon ami,just pointing out that the Cats are doing their best to improve conditions for Joe Public despite their own financial problems so maybe they should be applauded
As a Saints fan I know which stadium I prefer to watch a match if it's ever been a choice between Knowlsley & Brutus
