Doncaster will rarely fill it for the immediate future ( they managed it for the first game but thats different)..

The stadium has been built by the council as a community stadium and incorporates facilites that will be of benefit to all the community. I think they call it good planning :)

Preston are redeveloping the one remaining side of the ground they haven't done yet with a new stand. Who's paying for it... the NHS !! They are incorporating facilites in to it that benefit both parties. I think they call it good planning :)

Anyone spotting a common theme here ?
 
Doncaster rugby league have the use of it too, I think.
Who can we invite to share our ground to get Hyndburn council to cough up 30 million?
Any answers?

Tesco/Sainsbury/Morrisons ? And the council probably wouldn't need to find 30 million then :)
 
Doncaster rovers, the ladies team.. doncaster lakers? rugby and soon american football... theres also numerous pitches around the side of the gorund..


oh and the pitch is a mixture of astro turf and real grass.... well dunno if astro turf but deffo synthetic
 
One drawback, it's all seated. If there's one thing this season has confirmed to me, I HATE sitting down at football matches. Gimme a nice stretch of terracing anyday!
 
Don't think so, Dave. Colchester's 6,335-capacity Layer Road has just 2,083 seats and their ground has just been accepted for the Premiership!

They get special dispensation because they are having a new ground built which will be all seater.

Likewise Cardiff also have the same leeway although their new ground is more pie in the sky than planned at the moment !!
 
As I said, Dave, Colchester are in the championship and their ground is mainly standing...and, as far as I'm aware, they have no plans to build a new ground.
