do you reckon the skircoaters will embrace it?

will the skircoat become really unpopular?????????

Oh yes..... I am a skircoater and I am really looking forward to the move.

1. It is freezing cold in the skircoat stand, even when the sun shines on everyone else.

2. There are posts in the way of your view and you end up leaning left and right over other people.

3. A lot of the seats are missing and its quite drab there.

That said we will have to go prepared into the East stand because the sun shines directly at this stand. Peaked caps and sunglasses are a must for every game. The club should make a point of this and get marketting their peaked caps.

Does that mean we have seen the end of hotdogs and hamburgers and they will be replaced by strolling vendors shouting "Lark's tongues. Wolf nipple chips, get 'em while they're hot". [/quote]

If they go ahead, later, and close the Skirtcoat stand for re-furbishment, which is likely to then take 8 years, will the ground be big enough when we are playing Leeds / Bradford / St Helens at home in 2012?

Fair point - hadn't considered that!

That scenario would give the RFL another reason to exclude us from Pooper League

Why is the East Stand called the East Stand when infact it faces South? Also the South Stand faces West. Anyone else notice this alarming fact?

Is this correct?

If so there IS ONLY one option. Pull down all the stands and put them in their correct cardinal points. If this jeopardizes our 2011 application then so be it.

Good job it's not a mosque.

Are you sure about that? All maps point north and it appears that all is correct if google maps points north too.
