Never made it up to Cumbria so can't comment, at least the pitch is gonna be level unlike fev.
But it is there ground so hey.

Personally I prefer Whitehaven to Workington despite having family links to the latter. Swinton isn't great but frankly who cares? They have a good team and gates in the hundreds. It's quite adequate for that. Why bankrupt teams demanding ground facilities they will never need.

A question many have asked of the people that allegedly administer our game. I get the impression they think that big stadia are the way to make us a 'big' sport. Because obviously swathes of empty seats makes a great impression on TV.

Won't be a problem for us then - seeing as we hardly have any seats in the first place!

Been down to trailfinders for a look see today, will be interesting to see how they set up for people paying to get in, then again I am sure ealing have something in place.
Yes it's plastic but the playing surface looks bloody good, widnes seemed shabby in comparison.
Thought the hay cart seats looked quite funny, not quite super league.
Getting to the ground not too bad, West ealing about 10 mins walk didn't look at other stations,b there us one closer though I think.
Let's see how we get on eh!

Unfortunately I think West Ealing station is also closed on Sundays.

Re: Ealing Dealbreakers : Sun Nov 01, 2015 3:26 pm  

All the surrounding railway stations are closed on Sundays. That's South Greenford, Castle Bar Park, Drayton Green, Hanwell and West Ealing. Ealing Broardway is the closest station which is 2 miles away.

thats why we are moving to trailfinders its a great way to stop fans coming to the game

Re: Ealing Dealbreakers : Sun Nov 01, 2015 4:59 pm  

Perivale on the Central line is a similar distance away

Admittedly the club create the perfect environment for negatives about getting to a game. But is there any club anywhere that has so many people that appear to have any excuse to make out they cannot make it to a game.
