It'll be a long, long while before we see Phases 2 or 3 (if ever?) so plans may well change before then anyway.

To be honest I'd rather the stadium look visually better with the two corner terracing sections than have a few thousand extra seats that I'm sure we won't need in 2012. OK if crowds really pick up like they did for Warrington when they moved to the HJ then it makes sense to go bigger.
I always think it reflects badly on Superleague when you regularly watch a live match on Sky and see large blocks with 1000's of empty seats in these shiny modern stadiums.

Example: The Warrington v Catalan semi in a smaller capacity ground at Widnes but nearly full compared to Leeds v St Helens at Huddesfield with one entire side completely empty.

:D , the only logical place to stand

I know it might upset a few but i always think its better when a team has a "end" to attack or defend.

As long as there is standing somewhere it will do me

It should be a formality, but I suppose it depends what the Garrido gets up to.

Will the park and ride still be going ahead?

I know this is one of the more simple questions, but...are the seats actually going to be green?

It's like someone getting planning permission to build a big extension on their house and then not having it built for whatever reason. Then reapplying to the council because the planning consent has elapsed, with new plans for an extension that's smaller than the previous one that was granted.

I think if it was bigger it would be a completely different story.
