We'll be lucky too keep the green bit in the middle. On Stanley On.

Re: new ground pic
 

Just imagine it with STANLEY on them seats and 1700 to watch accy ladies:)

Re: new ground pic
 

Considering we only get 1,700 to watch the first team, it requires a considerable feat of imagination!

Re: new ground pic
 

I am, that's what hurts so much. Where the hell does a place like Doncaster get that sort of money.

Re: new ground pic
 

Doncaster Council

Re: new ground pic
 

Lovely ground though.I dont think we could get the money for a ground like that and we wouldnt fill it. Nice pic though kipax!

Re: new ground pic
 

And for the ladies!!!! Our last game attracted 93 supporters at Padiham!!

Re: new ground pic
 

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?

Re: new ground pic
 

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!

Re: new ground pic
 

Has to be all seated once you get to the championship.

Re: new ground pic
 

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!
