What is the situation on the repairs to the North Stand

As part of the World Cup game bid the council promised to repair the terracing on the north terrace, and the installation of a new electronic scoreboard.

As mentioned elsewhere, The Shay will now host the NRC final this season. (not sure if there is a thread for that on this forum, but its been posted on twitter by the courier and other rl feeds)

Unless i've missed any announcments, I still havent seen any thing around the coming work, which needs to be started soon I would have thought to be completed in time

HAHAHA Are you serious ? This is the RFL. I know where I think it'll be played & I've also heard where the proposal is to play the NRC final. If my source is correct, it could also be home advantage for one of the teams.

Just glad we got to the final last year with you lot Had a great weekend at Blackpool and enjoyed it better than the grand final day If it ends up at Fax or Leigh I believe it will not be as good a day out and it certainly won't be the same for the home crowd I wouldn't of thought

I agree with most of your sentiments JT but after last year's NRC win, I would have staggered out of the party back at the Shay if i could have managed a stagger......

Is that true? If so that is excellent.

You really think as many fans will travel to the Shay as would go to Blackpool ?
