Future Super League Stadiums

[Evil Homer]

Saints stadium is much nicer than Doncaster.

 

[WireMan]

Saints ground is a standard stadium with a fancy roof.

It looks good as its new.


Their is also a gap between the roof and the seats, not sure whats going on their. If its open then thats just going to allow wind through ruining the atmosphere and making it colder. If its sealed then all is good.

Look forward to visiting next season.

Don't understand the Englishmans aversion to cookie cutter stadiums. Modern English stadia get shat on for being identical, but they look brilliant. So simple and elegant. They're clean, safe, and cost effective. And they look great on TV. If only all NRL clubs had a one of those at their disposal.

i don't mind them....

 

[roughyedspud]

remember this....the 20k stadium salford should have built

well its been shrunken alittle, 12k capacity, and now rotherham united are building it

salford should have built that...and im on about the smaller version...

 

[langpark]

good find! looks great!

While I do agree with you, maybe it was a matter of having to settle for the lower cost option that they are building now. Still better than staying another 10 years at the willows...

Looks like its geared up for the local toffs to play in next year.

 

[roughyedspud]

local toffs? you mean sale RU??

 

[Goldfields_Titans]

local toffs? you mean sale RU??

Aye.

 

[roughyedspud]

hull kr's new stand....

 

[WireMan]

Did they stick a chimney in the corner to make it look more northern?



Anyways we will wait and see. In other news:

Wakey have there permission thing going through the courts, apparently the Cas chairman wrote in against the bid. Which is a bit offside.

The decision makers are going to go to Leigh and Warrington to see the effects of a new stadium.

Strange how they've gone for the blue and red colour combination...

 

[roughyedspud]

The roof above the Langtree Park sign has blown of in the wind.

There are now concerns about the safety of the stadium as the wind was hardly a freak event.

 

[langpark]

wow! http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jan/03/st-helens-langtree-park-storms?newsfeed=true

This will hurt their averages if they're having to play with one stand closed for a while. I hope they can get it sorted...

 

[dangerousdave]

Strange that both the Saints would be having trouble with wind damage to stadiums roofing

 

[morley101]

Increased capacity at Warrington.

Isn't it a bit early for Saints to be falling apart? Doesn't that usually happen in the Grand Final? Gaffaww ;-)

Mixed feelings about these new stadia. Absolutely essential for the future of the sport, but it's a shame to see places of rich RL history flattened for shopping centres or flats. Hope Saints settle in quickly and create the same atmosphere as KR. Remember seeing some belting games there as a lad

I disagree.

As much as i like to fondly look back at the good old days at Wilderspool or those wonderful journeys to Knowsley Road/Willows/Central Park, these grounds were horrible.

The more nice stadiums the better. Especially if they still have standing areas.
