Is that your honest opinion? Not just playing Devil's Advocate?

A fairly full BV looks Ok on TV, compared to many other grounds. Without starting a tit for tat war of words on here, how good do you think Craven Park, Odsal and (the very empty) Stoop, look on TV. Won't mention Salford as they are on the move...

Everyone knows Wakey need a new ground, but to suggest it is the worst in pro RL, just makes you look stupid.

Belle Vue might well be the worst stadium in top flight RL to look at , but that isn't the issue or that important , it makes income for the club , that is the important bit , having a shiny new stadium that costs clubs to play there , and doesn't allow clubs to operate is pointless , that is what some clubs are finally realising

I cringe when i see a better quallity stadium with very few people in it. Not the best advert on tv is it.

Have you been to them all? Even if you have - have you no manners? I wouldn't dream of visiting your house and complaining about the smell of cat wee - not that a cat would live with an ignoramus like you! And that's from someone who can't stand cats!

Wakefield fans have had to put up with a load of BS over the years, from incompetent stewardships, poor facilities and the threat of expulsion from SL. Through all that strife, we are slowly but surely improving our crowds and our club because we LOVE RL - despite the fact that we don't have a nice shiny plastic seat seat in a nice shiny plastic stadium.

How on earth can you compare Odsal to BV?

Odsal has over 5,000 seats, a requirement of the franchise application. Something Wakey are not even close to. All of that stand is also covered and it is around 10 years old.

They have a whole end dedicated to hospitality like BV but it is brand new and a great structure with a modern feel. Something BV does not have.

It has a large terrace with a big capicity, another thing BV lacks.

Odsal looks like a good old fashion RL stadium with a slight modern twist. I don't think it looks bad on TV, it looks unique and is a good example of RL's roots. The only thing which needs adding to Odsal is a roof IMO. It is probably the most unique stadium in the UK.

I am not even a Bradford fan

I look stupid? Its the worse stadium in top level football codes in this country. Craven Park and Odsal are dated but are actually stadia. Belle Vue is just a jumbled mess with some council flats at one end. I have no problem with Wakey or their great fans but don't bury your heads in the sand and just come back with insults! Its terrible! And yes I also cringe slightly at Hudds and Broncoquins (who I support) in bigger new stadia with lots of empty seats.

So Belle Vue's worse than Whitebank?

Despite having three times the capacity of many lower division teams, superb hospitality, 22 executive boxes, computerised turnstyle systems, new toilets, new food oulets, new bars, new dressing rooms, new state of the art physio room, and with the new roofs going in there'll be cover for 8,000 and nearly 5,000 seats, you still think its THE WORST in all three pro divisions of Rugby League?

You are an idiot, a troll or both!

No ones under any illusion that a new stadium is needed but your statement is just ridiculous.

i think he meant it was the worst pro stadium( top flight) in the 3 footy codes,league, union and soccer, not the top 3 rugby league leagues

The thing i'm looking forward to with the HJ is the new acoustics, people used to complain about the leaking atmosphere with the old design, lets see if that was an excuse or not. The atmosphere as rarely if ever lived up to Wilderspool.

Think so

Quote ="Inflatable_Armadillo"Is it a permanent big video screen going in, like at Headingley?'" One going up at Craven Park soon too. Not an HD one but the plasma one that was in Hull City Centre. www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html There are more recent stories on this too and was said it would be up before the start of next season. Just hope it works for longer than the last electric one we had!!!!

just heard that we are moving from Craven Park to a site on the humber and will change the kicking game drastically!!! Multi purpose too the X-Games may visit...

Popular, but daft, myth.

Is that not just the apathy that comes from being a 'big club' these days? In the Wilderspool days you were either fighting survival at the bottom or for one or two seasons slugging it out with the big dogs. Now you expect to win most games comfortably so are never going to generate the same noise.

True Story.
Warrington fans over the last 5 or 6 years have turned into Saints fans.

It's very easy to make glib comments like this when you support a club that is propped up by the largesse of a wealthy investor, has a council funded stadium, shares with a football club, or any combination of the three.

WTW on the other hand, has been let down, badly managed and generally run into the ground by a series of its former stewards, as well as being the victim of some pretty underhand political maneuvering on the part of WMDC.

As fans, we're well aware that BV doesn't fit the RFL's arbitrary vision of a 'modern' stadium, but I think it's short-sighted and disrespectful to write off 130 years of history simply because you have no understanding of what came before SL.

Lots of people are working their knackers off to get us into a new stadium and our new owner appears to be doing a good job of quietly getting all his ducks in a row for the upcoming PI; in the meantime, I know it's not particularly trendy on here to be anything other than cynical and sarcastic, but you'd demonstrate significantly more class if you expressed some support for the efforts of everyone involved, rather than pouring scorn on the current arrangements.

You aren't as good with the sarcasm as we are though.

Was that sarcastic?

apparantly

I love reading this forum.

The stadium looks far better now.
