As for the "build it and they will come" being on shaky foundations, is there anywhere that a new ground in the top flight hasn't improved attendances. Although Salford are not getting the crowds they wanted, they are getting better crowds than at The Willows, and the new ground is an awful place to get to. St Helens have got average gates that match the very best now, much better than Knowsley Road, which I thought was a cracking little ground.

For all we diehards love the old grounds, its the ones who aren't diehards we need to attract. We have to cater for those who want to sit on plastic seats. And as much as I love Belle Vue, I don't take my kids because they don't get a good view. I have taken them to all-seaters, because I can sit with them, tell them about the game, share the Haribos, etc.

The only thing to avoid is getting a big soulless one, like the Galpharm, but Newmarket looks about right.

Donny was a belter for the semi final - get NM even 3/4's full and it should be mint. If it ever gets built

I'd watch wherever Trinity played. No problem.
There's always a but..............
I cant cheer unless Im standing up, so there'd better be standing terraces!
I also want to be able to wander about and watch each half from the end Trinity are attacking towards.
The architects need to talk to me!

From what I can recall of the plans, there is to be a concourse around three quarters of the stadium which permits changing of ends, as the terracing with be at either end, if there is any scope to switch this so the terracing is along one side rather than at each end I think the club should ask the designers to go for it.
