Intriguing .

It would seem that part Of or all of the funding trouble is that yccc don't have any money, it's funny that they want this that and the other and especially they are getting the best out of the new stand and we are getting a smaller new stand. I'd cut them loose and rebuild the north standard with a double tires 8k all seater stand for us, and just a basic seated stand for them on other side with whatever space is left. That way the new south stand can go back to 8k standing with a few courtesy boxes. We then get an overall crease capacity back to 24k ish

Kevin Sinfield Tribute? : Sat Jan 14, 2017 9:25 pm  

Occurs to me that as further details about Headingly redevelopments come out, that there has been no tribute announced to Sinfield.

He was probably our greatest ever player and he has been retired fully now for nearly 6 months. Cunningham got a statue at saints and he wasn't as important to them as Sinfield was for us.

Surely we as fans can organise some sort of petition for something.

What about renaming one of the new stands the 'Sinfield Stand', it wouldn't cost anything and would be a fitting tribute.

Wasnt the guy who did the Wembley RL statue commissioned to do one of John Holmes a bit back.

No bigger fan of Sinfield than me but Leeds born John Holmes deserves a statue before him in my opinion.

IIRC weren't they going to build the John Holmes statue near the shop instead of the south stand for a permanent tribute to the 'golden generation'?

Phil Holmes said recently that Johns statue is progressing nicely and they are just waiting for a date for the South Stand

Grant, as in the type that sees Durham still owing some £3m in repayments?

Leeds Utd probably.

I do hope wherever they do relocate (if they do), it'll be south of the River Aire where they belong.
