Certainly progressing quicker than I thought. GH must have Kath on site with her leather whip cracking the builders into shape. Be interesting to see how far along it is by the first game at Headingley.

Our first game at home isn’t until 3rd March v Catalan so I won’t be surprised if the full structure is up by then. Obviously without the whole brickwork.

Bought my North stand season ticket beginning of August,told first come first serve.wanted far back as possible ended up 5 rows up,i know it's a smaller stand but can't believe tickets were sold that quick.

Another section of roofing added today and more steel on site for further work on the stand. Doesn’t look like much today from the camera but I’m sure there is more gone into it considering it’s the roofing steel.

Had a look on the live feed today, looks like the new stand is going to be huge, anyone know if the ground capacity's going up?

don't think so I think it will be slightly lower capacity .The new southstand will be bigger because of the seating section

Capacity is about the same as the North stand is smaller

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Wed Dec 06, 2017 2:05 am  

The proposed new stands increases the capacity of the cricket ground by 2,436 from 17,137 to 19,537 with the capacity of the rugby ground decreasing by 719 from 20,508 to 19,789

Still not quite sure why they’d reduced the capacity

Me neither.

Its a golden opportunity to revamp the stadiums inherent footprint design flaws, but I suppose it lengthens the build and obvs the cost.

I'm not too sure how much they could've done given the tight constraints around Headingley.
