I hope to be home by September although I wouldn't mind seeing a last game in the ground before demolition starts. Wait for the away fans moaning about about " their away end" being invaded by southstanders . well it'll make a change from moaning about getting wet

Unless some Southstanders are into water sports.

Will be interesting to see how they manage this with the away fans. assuming it will be all ticket affairs now and how many they will allocate to the away teams as there will be a minimum they have to give in proportion to the capacity.

I am looking forward to see the artist impression of the features that the new stand may include , apparently there is going to be a Hall of fame /club museum and where will the John Holmes statue be situated etc

You don't need a crystal ball to see the aggravation coming down the line with this scenario. Certainly if I was a south stand season member I would not be very happy.

As a Carnage stand regular I'm not happy either.

Chronically oversold and busy this is just going to make the situation even worse.

The club better have a decent beverage and food plan as the one currently in place for the Carnegie is woefully inadequate as it is.

The whinging on social media about this today has been embarrassing, needs must so why can't people respond understandably without dummy spitting, even got some idiots saying we should just leave the SouthStand as it is even though it's been condemned for nearly a decade now.

You always get friction when things like this happen, it's for the greater good though.

Biggest worry has to be as others have pointed out, a few thousand fans are lost to the club by not being able to secure tickets for the next couple of seasons, the team also nose dives away from contention at the same time and these fans don't return upon completion of the stands.

Club has confirmed we will be playing in a reduced capacity Headingley while SS is being redeveloped. I really think this is a bit of a mistake. What will be capacity? 12-13k? we had 18k for the Cas match last week! Do we really want 4-6k fans getting out of the habit of going to games for 2 years assuming the north stand will be done the year after.

I think I'm right in saying both stands will be done at the same time, with the southstand to be partially open in 2018.

Have any of our Super 8's games had 18k attendances over the last two years? The super 8 games generally have lower attendances than the regular rounds. It will be 1-2k fans missing out in those games.
