On the cricket side of things. Headingley has been confirmed as a venue for the 2023 Ashes (to go with a Test in the 2019 Ashes). Also Leeds (Headingley) has been named as one of the cities in the new T20 competition starting in a couple of years.

Steelwork started about a week ago on the pavilion on the north side. That’ll be continued all the way across the stand. I think the middle of the Stand will all be completed before they start the cricket seating etc.

No it remained Tetley's South Stand whilst the other side switched from being the Radio Aire North Stand to the Leeds BS North Stand and will now/when completed be the Emerald Stand.

interesting this Leeds the city has been named not YCC for the T20 comp. Does that mean that the franchise is open to bidders ? is Gary eyeing up Leeds Rhino's T20 Team ?

These cricketers earn serious money - and we all know the only people making serious money at Leeds don't take to the field. So I can't see GH wanting to run a cricket if he did it would go the way of the RU i.e. quick slide into mediocrity.
