Not once, did any of these comments mention the fact that 2 of the super league stadiums also host football matches for teams who have recently been in the premiership, where the facilities do tend to be better overall anyway.
Short memories a lot of these away fans. Without a kindly local council or a soccer team they'd be in the same boat as us. I go to a game to see the action on that big green space, I couldn't give a toss about, bogs, bars, food outlets, although I will occasionally use them.
I remember a few seasons back when we played at Widnes in their 1st game back in Super League. The rest of Super League fans predicted what a poor crowd there was going to be for the seasons opener on live TV. We took about 12 bus loads + others to contribute to a fantastic crowd and atmosphere. Same turn out last year at Cas. Maybe if we get a shiney new stadium we'll become snobby and selective about where we support our team?
I absolutely hate new stadiums, they have no atmosphere and totally lack character. B V is just about fit for purpose and would benefit from a total re vamp however the old girls seen plenty of action over the years and holds many memories for me. Unfortunately she leaves her self open to criticism from most traveling fans. I'm more than happy to trundle on down to watch the Trin until an alternative that distances it's self from a full blooded new stadium can be found. I LOVE THE PLACE.
I actually agree £24 is rip off and your Stadium is definitely a dump. Obviously you lot are taking the opinions to heart. If we had Naughton Park the atmosphere would be better in the Cow sheds. Anyway we are on the wrong side of the penines and definitely dislike each each other.

It must be worth £24 just to get away from Widnes for the afternoon
