The cricket side is. In terms of the tourist pound, the rugby side is an absolute irrelevance.

I would suggest over a year the rugby attracts far more people from outside the city than the cricket especially in year Headingley doesn't get a test match.

How much do they spend outside the ground?

I'd wager - although I know you don't like that kind of thing - international cricket brings in much more money for the city's hotel, bar and restaurant trade than a season of away fans coming to Rhinos games does.

Classic GH. Renew now, for a more expensive part of the ground, even though you don't know whether we'll be playing Wigan or Whitehaven. http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... -1-7998507

Because this isn't X Factor, and weight of public opinion among those people who aren't directly impacted in any meaningful way shouldn't influence planning decisions.

As stakeholders of the club fans are directly impacted.

I'm more than comfortable if the decision is made with the totality for information and opinions assessed. I'm not really interested in having the bestest and classiest planning application, written on the finest gilted vellum by the world's leading calligraphers. Nor do I think that the only voices that can be heard are the squeaky-wheel nimbys

The Southstand as it is now surely the club cant maintain it in perpetuity .

GH simply wants as many season tickets sold as early as possible and irrespective of where they are sold in the ground
His perception being that all those fans that currently stand in the SS will panic and renew their tickets for elsewhere in the ground due to the stadiums capacity being reduced to 13,000
IMO it's still 50/50 whether it will ever get off the ground this year and i certainly wouldn't be surprised if it was shelved yet again

If I was a season ticket holder I would hold fire and make GH and the club work a bit harder on their part to make the tickets more attractive for fans seeking entertaining each week

Maybe he might be then forced into throwing in a couple of star signings for 2017:wink:

Access work has already started in the south west corner, reducing the Western Terrace capacity for the rest of this year.
