What's the minimum capacity of a Superleague ground?

[Wellsy4HullFC]

More than 5,000 hopefully.

[buford t justice]

I liked the Willows, it had character unlike these new identikit stadiums

[roughyed8]

What's the minimum capacity of a Superleague ground?

10,000 supposedly

What's the minimum capacity of a Superleague ground?

As many as Wakefield are allowed to squeeze in I think.

Moor Lane is hardly 'the heart of Salford' - walk 200m from there and you're not in Salford at all!

Thought the same myself, didn't realise it wasn't under the boundaries of prestwich until I checked on a map.

Ideal for Swinton

[duffymoon]

It's in Salford! So not ideal for Swinton though admittedly only just over the border.

It's closer to swinton than where they play at the moment in the heart of prestwich. That said they have plans of their own about half a mile up the road from Moor Lane in agecroft but I'm not sure where they are up to with that.

Swinton play at Sale

[Henson Park Old Firm]

does anyone play in their own area around here?

You could start up a whole serious of arguments about what you mean by area, good luck!

 

Salford, Manchester, or Greater Manchester.

The boundaries change so often and it's got so confusing, nobody even lives in the area they live in any more.

Really - when did they last change ?

Do they not play at Sedgley Park? Could have sworn I'd read that somewhere...Either way though point still stands that Moor Lane is closer to swinton than the current ground

Edit- just looked it up and seen they left Sedgley Park for this season

[TheLegendOfTexEvans]

Hopefully Swinton have dealt with the wind up petition now that was in the gazette back in august and are in a better position financially now.

Can press ahead with the Agecroft ground.
