I've no problem with the 1500 or so HKR fans who watched them when the likes of little Leigh walloped them regularly.

True that we walloped them regularly, but wrong about their crowds AD - I think you will find, if you look back, that their average has always been around 50,000! (even allowing for the bad times, which they conveniently forget!)

Shame you can only manage a crowd of 2500 for your cup final in your shiny new stadium,against your big rivals. Imo the rfl got it spot on in not giving you a franchise and theres absolutely no chance of you getting one next time round either

Move it off here boys...

As I said on your board.. it is a fantastic stadium.. One of the finest in RL and it would be fantastic if it ever got anywhere near full (or even half full )

In my opinion Salfud would be best served in building something similar instead of holding out for this 'iconic' ground that they are supposedly holding out for.

Bit of a nightmare getting there in terms of traffic and expensive getting in but once inside it was great.

As I said in my post on the Leigh board.. best view from a ground in Rugby League in Britain.

Great little stadium, and better than alot of SL grounds.

The only problem you have is that everything costs so much! Until you sort that out with whoever owns the facility you won't fill it.

Unfortunately the Stadium Management Company and the catering company that won the contract seems to think you can charge Superleague prices for Championship matches. Until they get that into their thick heads they are limiting the amount of money they can actually make. Most people are refusing to pay their prices and a lot of fans are refusing to pay the £14/16 to watch Championship rugby.
