aah, but then i notice your location and wonder why you don't support the lions. where are they playing nowadays? i'd love them to play in the super league for just one season.

I was raised in Weaste, mate. I just live in Swinton. They play at the Willows too, much to their dismay, will continue to after Reds have moved, IIRC.

They'd get twatted every week if they played Super League, I'm expecting Widnes to get hammered when they come up.

i'll let you off then. i know they'd get twatted but it'd be a laugh telling everyone round here (hull) that the swinton lions are coming to get them, even if my laughter only lasted until the first day of the season.

You can joke about it being a shithole/swampland around there but it actually is. The ground all round there is covered in Night soil.

Been past it now about 10 times now, the pitch only looks about 60 yards long!

Probably not, no. That said, Featherstone are above Widnes and got destroyed today. Watched Bulls V Warriors at teatime as well. Decent match. NASTY blow to the head from Raynor to Tomkins though.

You lot have been worse than us for pretty much every year out of the last 18 years or so, so I wouldn't bet on it. You have probably finished higher than us on about 3 occasions in that period.

I'm disappointed now I've opened the thread.

Barton Bridge seemed like a cool name for an architect.

Looks impressive for egg chasing. How many seats?

Think it's set to be 12K initially with a view to extend it to about 21K

Seems Peel Holdings took the job on after the last lot went bust tryin to muster up this ambitious attempt:

...anyways by all accounts they are now a year+ behind schedule havin to ditch the Hotel n' Exhibition hall and thus will end up with it lookin like this:

Can't fuckin stand Rugby me.

That is an absolute crying shame.
Went past it a few week ago without realising that Salford were moving there. Looked it up and only saw the original plans which I think look fantastic. Very modern very different. The stadium will now look run of the mill but modern.
Not that it looks horrible but the original design looks brilliant.
