But... and its a big but, IF YCC and Leeds can get a decent wodge of cash for stadium naming rights then this can offset a sizable chunk.

Pretty big IF though.

Wonga or Cash Convertors?

Maybe we should take a leaf from Cas's book:

"The Rent-a-pump Serengeti"

Has a nice ring to it.

All excellent suggestions (in their own way)

I think we're banking on a blue chipper similar to Emirates with Old Trafford. £10 mil a pop that one.

Knowing us it'll be sponsored by Yorkshire Tea for £20, a packet of woodbines and a 3 minute trolley dash round the merchandise warehouse.

its definitely coming though ,something that will retain the name Headingley. I cant see this investment company being totally anonimous

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Wed Mar 29, 2017 10:29 am  

I reckon Bass Headingley has a certain ring to it.

Cas's ground delay again thanks to an unexpected archaeological find https://www.sportinglife.com/football/n ... ayed/49796 Not sure that finding relics from a bygone civilisation and signs of primitive life can have been all that unexpected in Cas though...

Here is what I can see happening with this:

South stand will be much quicker to finish than the joint stand.

August 4th - start of super eights, if we have four home games then four straight home games ending on 1st September.
If we make the top two then we will probably play at Odsal
Broker a deal to play games at the beginning of the season away from until the completion date of the south stand. Wigan and Hull get these deals to block book away games whilst pitches are done.

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Wed Mar 29, 2017 11:00 pm  

I'm looking forward to the club showing plans of what the Southstand will feature .The club did say the had aspirations of including a museum

It seems very strange that this financial backer has not been named. Something tells me that this is merely some clever use of smoke and mirrors. I strongly suspect that the money is being put by Caddick via a front and the Council are underwriting the loan.
