19th exec board meeting is it not?

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Wed Apr 12, 2017 4:22 pm  

Yep. It's next week. Most exec boards are open to the public too, if anyone can't wait for the press release

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Wed Apr 12, 2017 5:35 pm  

I thought they'd previously said the meeting was on the 12th.
I guess I must have made that up.
Whoops.

There is a bit of speculation about the future of Ellen's roand I.E buy back and redevelop or even. Move all would be revealed in June if mr Raddrizzanni takes full control. I have experienced tre!mendous atmospheres at E R at those games mentioned earlier

Pack it out then would be the answer. Reach people we wouldn't normally reach.

If marketed, organised (and priced) correctly at ER it could be just the catalyst to draw in new fans / sponsors up to Headingley.

Just hope if we do, we get the match day special buses too.

Elland Road isn't in Timbuktu, it's a couple of miles down the road and a lot of the fans already come from 'South of the River'

Doesn't stop 2/3rds of it being a dump - a bit like Headingley so Leeds should be equally at home

Bit harsh, say what you will of the suburb but the level of corporate hospitality, bars and other amenities in the ground coupled with the ease of which you can get there both by car, coach or public transport from within and outside the city can only attract more people who ordinarily wouldn't bother with Headingley.

yeah but we don't sell 37k tickets every week so if we do pack it out, by definition we are going to need to attract some people we dont normally attract.
