When they make their announcement on April 1st you are going to look very silly indeed.

Why not, it's what you normally do.

saints is looking very likely to happen. with the recent 17,000 crowd a new stadium is desperately needed their. they will get a minimum of 15,000 average in a new ground.

salford and bradford are also looking likely as well (say 60% - 70%).

if just those 3 get new / upgraded grounds it will be very good for RL.

regarding cas / wakey, surely if they cant do it alone a shared stadium is the answer (not a merger)

pool your money and build a 15,000 - 20,000 stadium somewhere in between

or indeed wakey putting their money from the sale of BV into doing up Post Office Road is another really good idea.

What makes you think that when they can only just get 10,000 average when they had possibley the best team of the last 10 years and dominated for afew seasons.

Maybe down to a new ground being vastly more appealing than spending a wet, cold Friday night at Knowsley Road having to relieve onto a wall?

You really think that will be enough for us to show a 50% increase on attendances?

I think it will boost attendances but I think expecting 15k attendances is asking a lot - but I hope I am wrong!

Would they not be better developing the 2 ends of the ground first?

The new development will be at the North end (golf stand) of the ground.

Ah right, I thought that was the re-build of the current main stand that was touted somewhere.
