From what I can gather Caddick are currently building an extension to the Arla plant in Sturton then after then they don’t have any big contracts on the horizon so he might just fill that void with the SS redevelopment – either that or mass lay-offs??

but ,who is going to pay for it?

I don't know.

If that is the case then we can assume that the work required was of a far more drastic nature than intimated at the end of last season - £250k doesn't go far but if they needed to spend that sort of money just to maintain a reduced capacity then it must have been pretty firked to start with - I'd guess that the reduced capacity will be with us (you) for some time to come ...

I was told by someone at Headingley that the damage was done when they put in the new crash barriers a few years ago. Apparently they weren't put in in the right way (apparently the ones in the Carnegie Stand are correct) and so weakened the concrete of the steps.
How much/how long it would take to fix it though I've no idea!

The Yorkshire Evening Post reported earlier this month that the safety concerns were likely to lead to the stand being demolished and rebuilt.
