Does anyone know if the club's closing permanently, or will it still be open on match days until the re-development starts?

If you post this question on the other thread about the consultation event, someone might ask Gary for you tonight.

Thanks, didn't know there was another one tonight. Might book myself on it.

Cheers. What i mean is i cant use my card for the carnegie stand to into the southstand so does this mean that i wont be able to access the southstand bar with my mates. Altho i have a great view fron where i sit in the upper tier of the carnegie i would love to sit in the southstand providing there is a good viewing platform.

I suspect the issue of recently restricting access to the South Stand to SS ticket holders only has been a safety issue because the imposed restriction of reduced numbers by Leeds Building Control. I am not sure if once the new stand is built they will just go back to have a ground ticket/season ticket and let people move freely again of whether they will still be asked to restrict entry by the safety officers.

I suspect that new well positioned disabled viewing platforms will be incorporated as part of the stand.

Does Gill at the RLDSA raise issues like this ?

Gary confirmed last night that the supporters club will still be open as a match day facility, until the stand comes down.

He also implied (because of the feedback he's been receiving from supporters) any new bar facility, will be available to everyone, no matter where they sit/stand.

This also hints that they might move back to a ground season ticket and not restrict access to the South Stand to specific ticket holders only. If not they will have a supplementary system to gain access from the bar to the South Stand.

Do disabled supporters have to pay full price or concessions?

Full price, with a carer going free. Usually me and a mate just split the cost.
