Something on the news the other day about the development of the cricket ground. The Chairman(i think) of Yorkshire cricket said they'd be looking into the north stand in 2012 or around that time.

The plan was to do the joint Stand more-or-less immediately after Leeds sold the cricket ground to YCCC (the artists impressions are knocking about somewhere). They have since decided to develop the North end of the cricket ground in conjunction with Leeds Met.

2012 sounds about right for the North Stand, although it wouldn't surprise me if that date got pushed back - a lot will depend on finances and possibly whether the Tykes are in the Premiership or not.

Salford never really had plans for a new ground, it was an 8 year long masquerade just to get a franchise. We're staying at the Willows now.

You missed Featherstone, who funnily enough have more of a chance of getting a new ground than Castleford or Wakefield!
