It doesn't help when people might be on rotating shifts & match days also rotate.

All they need to do now is to start enforcing the stadium vaping rules and reduce the brightness of the touchline advertising screens which plays havoc for us old codgers with eyeballs full of floaters.


Not just the vaping rules but the smoking rules as well. You are right about the touchline screens, at one point last season there was an advert with a lot of flashes, which was very distracting.

Regarding the new big screen hopefully it will remain in sync with the action, was weird when you'd glance at the screen and it was seconds behind the action.

There will always be a delay between what you see live and what you see on a tv screen. It’s all to do with how the signal is bounced around whether it be terrestrial or satellite.

Re: HJ spruce-up : Fri Jan 31, 2025 9:19 am  
its good to hear that Wire are investing in their ground, albeit it is far better than virtually every one of our away trips into Yorkshire :)

I know there are discussions on the Wigan forums about the RFL / IMG, but one thing that the IMG grading has done, is lead to investment in improving the fan experience in the grounds. As an away fan we dont see the things that you guys will see or be impacted week in, week out, but trust me visiting the HJ is a far better experience that when we travel to Yorkshire

however, HKR have really worked over the last few years to improve the ground, and eventually Cas and Wakey have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th Century (not going to push it and give them too much credit yet) and made some investments in their grounds, but still a long way from where i believe as a game the grounds should be

The problem at HKR is it's location. Way out of the centre and little around it other than run down housing. To have a stadium within walking distance of pubs and eateries is a massive bonus.

Our ground is great and we are very fortunate. My only gripes were that it was looked neglected and some things had stopped working well (scoreboard, PA) Also the food/drink offering was grim with poor service. The toilets, whilst mucky, are very much an improvement on the latrine under the Fletcher Street end.

true, but i think they are doing the best they can, and trying to create something within the ground

the street fair type setup is giving both home and away fans a choice within the ground, which in the past would have been a pie or burger and a pint

The seating down the side above the tunnel is horrendous only 2 thirds,( and that’s being generous) of the seats have a full view of the pitch

Renting your ground until very recently….stay humble.
