They knew this a few weeks back, but continued to take money early off people, and push the seats onto those moving from Southstand.

Poor management and treatment, but not quite the financial situation some are saying. It isn't the day to day business running that is the problem, that is way off mark, more to it than that.

Good news for me - I thought anyway! I got an email saying all areas are now available to buy as Memberships (previously only available to 2016 members)

As it turns out that's not th case only standing areas are open to everyone so I'm back on the waiting list - Grrrrr.

This is no surprise to anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

The club has under invested in the team for years and finally it came home to roost.

So what do they do: scaremonger stories about capacity issues to get a commitment from the supporters as soon as they had a big enough commitment they duck out of a planning meeting and the re-development of the SS is off the agenda!!

Only last week in a sad attempt to sell tickets for a meaningless friendly he was saying it would be the last game in the "historic SS" when he knew the development would not be going ahead as planned - it would be laughable if it weren't so sad.

Some on here wonder why fans like me are cynical about GH and those that run the club - this smacks of desperate people promoted beyond the limits of their abilities.

This great club is descending into a laughing stock both on and off the field - supporters on here are now saying 6/7th finish is OK - seriously is that the limits of our expectations?

GH should be ashamed of the way the club has conducted itself and allowed a mess of this proportion to happen - it is embarrassing.

top post. Wonder if gh will jet off on his freebie to oz sometime soon?
Anyway travelling all over for nothing handing out his pointless heritage numbers paid off.
classic gh bu11shit!

That's it - all of the problems at Leeds, minimal as they are by the standards of most clubs, can be traced back to management being distracted by the foundation's heritage number project

Re: South Stand Open For 2017 : Wed Nov 09, 2016 10:10 am  

How long is this situation going to continue about these new ground developments going to continue? I wonder if they are exploring the option of selling up and moving out ?

It equals money well spent on freebies/recruiting holidays he takes at our expense. Also no florida trip is another cut-back. Top crowds top merchandise sales no recruitment over to you gh see if you can talk youre way out of this crap. After youre hols of course!

If someone has got a sit down ticket in one of the other stands (as the SS wasn't available), would they swap and refund the difference to make it back to a South Stand ticket.

That would test to see if they are a shower-of-shite.

It seems to me that whoever the club uses as it's planning consultant badly underestimated the level of opposition to the building of houses on the two plots of land that were to provide the balance of the funding. https://yorkshireccc.com/news/view/5249 ... ment-delay The delays could be disastrous on both sides of the ground.
