I need a  or twenty

Just got back from virtual Wembley having seen Watersheddings lose in the Twitter "Best Stadium" competition final to Mount Pleasant, Batley.   I didn't know they were going to charge virtual Wembley prices for a pint !

Oh well... I'll just console myself by reciting the Oldham RL motto which inaugurated in about 1930 ....

"Next year will be our year" !

More sensible motto than Warrington's, "this is our year!". 

I remember going to actual Wembley (one of the worst stadiums I've ever been to BTW) and buying a burger from a van outside. Had a sodding heart attack. £10 for a funking burger! £10! I can get a blow job round these parts for that and I don't have to wander round looking for a bin for the knapkin afterwards.

Never been to the "new" Wembley ... waiting until next year when it's ours !  Again, compared to the old one (even though that was past its time) it appears there is no style or character about it. When watching on tv you immediately knew it was the old stadium ... this one could be any of the many new ones.

However, from what you say it appears that somethings have improved .... the girls (well, I assume ?) never used to provide knapkins in those days !

I attended the Saints v Catalans cup final and thought the new Stadium is impressive. Access to bars, food & toilets are much better than the old Wembley. Those who attended the old stadium will be delighted by the new, & anyone calling it a sterile, genetic design, have not travelled.

As I said in my previous post, the old stadium was past its time and, yes, the modern facilities inside the new stadium will be better. I was just commenting on its style and character and that it looked different to others of its time. If now switching onto a match already in progress it's not easy to immediately know it's Wembley as compared to some others.

Maybe you dont watch enough sport, Wembley is different to other new stadia, on the TV, which is where you watched your sport from, maybe I'm an anorak, but when the management posted the Guess the Grounds quiz last month I got all correct, because they are not the sterile grounds you imagine, go to the Cardiff Millenium, or the KC, or LSV or even the crumbly grounds like POR, Belle Vue & Wheldon Rd, is that what RL deserves?

Well, as with anything on any subject, people have their own views and opinions ... nobody is right and nobody is wrong - it's just personal taste. As I said, it is just that I was always able to immediaterly know it was the old Wembley if I switched on midway through a game whereas now - until it shows a wider shot - I can't distinguish it from some others grounds whereas other people might.

Actually I too got a full house in that quiz because the photos showed fairly distintive characteristics, well apart from the French one, which I guessed as I knew the others.

What you’re saying is you find it easier to recognise a ground you’ve seen games from and attended many games at for at least 40 years. Over a ground that’s less than 20 yrs old that you’ve never been to. Who’d a thunk it.

If you want to put it that way ... yes. So, what's wrong in that ?  Whether I had been to the old Wembley or not makes no difference to recognising it on tv.   I just said that I could easily recognise it was the old Wembley (even on a close-up shot on tv) whereas now I can't.  If you can that's fair enough.

I think the management are playing it safe, after there was a spot of bother yesterday.  Some baldish, 30-something bloke, turned up demanding a pint of cider and a plate of chips.  He was told where to go, of course, but it made the management nervous, so I don't think they will open before lunchtime.
