I may have missed it but have they said where those evicted from the East Stand are to be relocated.

Up the Trin

The most recent statement by JM, this paragraph “Minards told Rugby League Live: “We’re on track and, while I can’t say that we’ve nailed everything down yet, we’re due to do that in the next couple of weeks. I guess the headline is that the timetable for commencing demolition of the East Stand is July 4, which is the day after we play Wigan at home. suggest to me that everything is officially not in place. Soaring construction costs, may have caused a rethink on previous plans, but with only seven weeks before demolition starts, I feel the club is missing a trick by not building up the anticipation, hopefully we’ll start seeing some positive publicity soon, along with detailed drawings of the new stand, and temporary accommodation for the East Standers

To be fair we don't seem to do hype, and with so many false downs the most positive thing that will affect supporters stadiumwise is seeing steel coming out of the ground

Indeed.

Although not unknown, see old Rotherham ground. When the diggers arrive and the steel goes up it’s normally the point of no return.

That’s when people really take note. One of the few advantages we have is that our main stand will face onto a busy main road. This I’d like an advert in its own right and will get people talking as it takes shape.

I think I might actually shed a tear as the first girder goes up.

Hopefully we will see another small step with this in the next few weeks according to this line.

We’re anticipating having our new big screen in place in the next few weeks as well.

I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that all SL clubs had to have a large screen at their stadium. I believe Leeds have ,but not sure if any other club has one. Also I’m not sure why this facility is required apart from when Sky are in town. Anyone know the answer to why a large screen is required at each stadium?

It was related to overall match-day experience expectations, but also linked to the if/when we have VRs at every game (which was obviously paused).

Will the restaurant be open just on match days or full time maybe Thursday to Sunday?

Re: All Things New Stadium : Sun May 08, 2022 12:07 pm  

Its not quite a restaurant, more a multi-use function suite so hopefully used seven days & evenings. The present rooms are not top notch but they could do with some activity as well as match day, can't think when they last had some entertainment on
