True it is Brill Stadium - great view & close to the action. TBH it only took 10 mins to get out. Makes me wonder what it's going to be like when Chesterfield f.c. move into their new stadium; 1/2 the volume of car parking, next to a huge Tescos & crowds averaging 3500-4000!

No complaints about the stadium intself. Well built and well acessed from the main road. Last year i drove round to the front of the west stand to pick up a disabled person who was travelling before leaving with me but wasnt allowed to this year which was a bit rubbish.

Only other downer was the result and the steward who insisted we leave straight after the game and didnt even give us a chance to clap our boys off after their warmdown. Bit pedantic.

Well done Leigh, i think youll be there or thereabouts this year. Just a shame Robbie Paul didnt retire....

worst queue for traffic i've known, att. 1878 BIZARRE !

Think a lot more will have chosen to drive to the game when the heavens opened, to be honest. Should be interesting for the England game but I certainly won't be driving to that one

Take no notice of him. What's he going to do? Throw you out ?

I think that the stadium will generate the ideal atmosphere for an England game.

All you need is a few stewards who know what they are doing or (although I don't like seeing the rozzers at RL games) a few community coppers who know how to keep traffic moving ought to do the trick.

The problem with stewards directing traffic is that their hand signals are about as bad as a certain ref........

I suspect we pay for the stewards by the minute!

Puzzled at what has happened to the Eagles. Your threequarters look really class, but I guess the ball isn't getting to them enough. Is there a problem at scrum half? Who played there last season - Kyle Wood? Mind you, Groom looks like he can play a bit, but he seems to have suffered a fair few injuries.

We've certainly been a bit short at halfback with Aaron out injured. Yesterday was his first game back.
