I went 2 parra the other week and its pretty stinge, heaps worse then energyaustralia. I would have 2 say Leichardt or campbelltown though.

I don't really think Energy Australia is that bad to be honest

I also edited this topic and sent theknightsrule7 a PM (Hope you got it mate)

Telstra is by far the best, Penrith on one side is good (Upgraded last year) and on the other is awful.

Well of the ones I've been to:

Westpac Stadium, Wellington: A- great ground to watch anything at, great atmosphere, the only problems is that you are above ground level by a metre or two even in the front row so can feel a little distant.

Telstra Stadium: B+ Obviously there's going to be some bad seats in an 80,000 seater, but when it is packed it is awesome. Haven't been to a non-sold out game there, though.

Mt Smart Stadium: B+ Really close to the action, great atmosphere, the only issue is the old stand and the end on seats are getting a bit dated. I love the lack of fences around the ground, it would be the easiest ground in the world to hop onto the field during if you wanted to do a streak or whatever haha.

The 1st feww answers r 4 what ground need fixing. Just thought i'd clear that up lol

I think the best stadium is energyaustralia can't beat all those knights fans and when the crowd starts chanting I just love it.

I hate Telstra no atmosphere at all. I like Brooky 2 its pretty good there.

Ive always thought that EAS was the best ground out of the capitals. I havnt yet watched a game there so i dont know what the atmosphere is like but from what ive heard on TV its sounds awsome. They still have plans for developing the stadiums dont they??? the the red and blue seats look great.

EAS looks great on TV, and has a great atmosphere being at the ground in my opinion. It's gotta be up there as one of the best stadiums :)

Brogga

yeah EAS is best atmosphere wise for knights games cause have the best supporters :D if i wanted to watch any game of footy though i still love bluetounge

I've actually been disappointed in the crowds at Newcastle in recent years. It used to be a cauldron, but it doesn't seem to get the same atmosphere anymore. Didn't even rate in the worst ground to play at stakes in the latest RLW player's poll, it used to finish first every year!

This year has been down a fair bit, especially on Mondays, but last year we broke the record for highest average attendances ever. That is in the supporters broke the Knights previous average attendance record not NRL or anything. It seems ok 2 me, still awsome atmosphere.

Brogga

yeah the number of monday night footy we've played has probly reduced the numbers at EAS.. pretty hard for alot of people to get ther on a monday night. Our form also would reduce it a bit :(

Denno

yeh this year our crowds have been down.
last year was good but.. 3rd highest average in the nrl for home games i think, and it's hard to beat teams like the Broncos because they have Suncorp

We still are third last time I heard, a few weeks ago. Behind Brisbane and North Queensland
