One would assume that turd-polishing exercises would have concluded with the mis-shapen Carnegie Stand.



Obviously not.



Still... one more year overdue on the back of two previously cancelled refurbishments is further confirmation of the sheer brilliance of the CEO and his latest masterstroke

What in getting the council to stump up the bulk of the cost in an economical climate that is tough on clubs in a sport that doesnt generate millions and millions of profit?

Perhaps he ought to try the lottery funding route instead?



North Stand notwithstanding of course

just seen on FB from leeds back the bid,it said"the new south stand is not part of the bid"so what is part of the bid if its not a first class stadium?

The new South Stand was Not part of the bid submitted by LCC ,so I wonder what exactly the bid consisted of?I would have thought the main critera was a first class stadium.

The rest of the ground [iis[/i world class

of course not,but what I meant was its not in a bad state of repair

I wasn't being ironic

I'm on the facebook page Leeds backs the 2013 rlwcbid and they said the new southstand was NOT part of the bid.So I asked if it was possible to see what promises were made as part of the submission, and the reply was its all very confidential right now,but everything will be revealed as the RLWC gets nearer,but they the city council are not putting anything into the south stand as part of the bid so who cares.

So no gold star for GH then - back to trying to scrimp together the pennies to pay for the new South Stand ourselves.

Shall we have a quick whip round?







So to speak.

Gary has already had one... it is called Rhinos 4 Life!

What about the buy a brick scheme?



Could it be expanded to something like "Buy-a-thousand-bricks-and-a-big-steel-girder-and-a-few-tons-of-concrete-and-a-few-builders" for next year? How far can we push the paying punters I wonder?

Perhaps the club could also introduce a Chav 4 Life funding scheme with an assurance that they can maintain their occupancy there ad infinitum?



At least that way, they'll never be anywhere near me.

That too yes in some cases

Why should that be a concern to you, since I thought you don't go to watch our inferior product any more?

If you can't afford a rolls royce a lada will have to do

KAPOW!!!

Has the Royal Mail sunk to such depths?

Was just looking at few photos of the new 'temporary' stands that Wakefield Wildcats are putting in place, IMO we would be able to put them on our away stand, if it was leveled out.

I'm no expert but the Western Terrace is much bigger than that stand, so the covering would have to come much further out from the back. Presumably, without putting in pillars at the front, that would mean it would have to be tilted on more of an angle and so make it higher. Plus the scoreboard would add height as well.

I wouldn't have though they would be the space with the screen, score board and the alley way directly behind.

I'm sure Mr Caddick has got by similar problems throughout his career

Is this opposite the main stand?

The house to the top right of the second pic .. Is that the one that usually has some lunatic sat on the roof watching the game for free ?
