Just had the newsletter from GH...
Quote: "Dear Chris,
As a valued South Stand supporter, I write with an update of the work we have undertaken on the terrace, together with our plans for the future.
As you know, the terrace was closed temporarily in October whilst testing was carried out. Following the conclusion of the tests, we agreed a plan of works with the Building Control authorities to enable the terrace to remain open for the next two years. The plan included a specific schedule of maintenance to the stand as well as a cut in the capacity by 2,000 spectators, which now restricts access to certain areas.
The repair work, which ran to £250,000, was completed in time for the Rhinos’ Cravendale Festive Challenge game against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats on Boxing Day taking the terrace to its new 6,000 spectator capacity.
Our next challenge is to deliver a permanent long term replacement. This will require a significant planning application and, of course, a solution for funding for the new project. So plenty of work for our Directors, but in the meantime, we also want to gauge opinion on the preferred type of structure to replace the existing 70-year old stand.
With this in mind, it is intended to produce different designs to put before Southstanders at focus group sessions and on our website. Your feedback will be very important to us.
Thank you for your continued support and we will be back in touch throughout the year.
Yours sincerely
GARY HETHERINGTON
Chief Executive'"
