Does anyone know the capacity of the whole stadium and how many each stand holds? And how tall is the current southstand?

Should be renamed The Kevin Sinfield - playmakers pavillion

It's a backwards step. This proposed stand doesn't even replace the old one.

Our capacity was 22,000 until the H&S issue, when this is done, we'll be £7m+ out of pocket, and 21,000 capacity.

And you're concerned about us running our businesses?

At the VERY LEAST they need to put things back to how they were prior to the capacity cut.

I can only say I'm disapointed,just think of the jibes from opposing fans

Curently:

South Stand - 6,000
North Stand - 5,500
Carnegie Stand - 5,500
West Terrace - 3,500

I once read the club were thinking of commissioning a statue to John Holmes to go with the new stand.I now hope not it will cheapen his memory

Classic Hetherington - shows you a pciture of what you will get in the new southstand, but only if you sign up to be a Rhino4life and buy the super dooper season ticket with the rhinos annual and woolly hat
everyone signs up and then he shows you the real plans!



just like when he goes on an all expenses paid scouting trip to the internationals down under and comes back with the signature of someone from someone elses's academy

GH had lunch with Al Fayed last week, so we're gonna get a statue of Elizabeth Taylor instead. Apparently he's a fan.

Except some of us weren't stupid enough to sign up!



Although I agree with your point. It is naughty to have the bigger, better, posher South Stand pictures in the brochure for the season tickets.

If Leeds had spent the last two years turning away fans from their 20,000 capacity stadium then you might have a point.

When was the last 20,000 plus attendance at Headingley?

You don't spend money you haven't got on things you don't need. Leeds don't need (and are unlikely to need in the foreseeable future) a capacity of more than 21,000.

What is the foreseeable future Andy?

Every club in Super League is striving to improve crowds in the game as a whole. We had capacity crowds only 4 years ago.

We hit bad times in the economy and the drive for more fans took a backward step. I ask again do you seriously believe that these bad times will continue for ever?

As soon as the economy is back on track, the drive for bigger crowds will be there again. Although more importantly the need for corporate facilities will be there again.

We will not be in a position to knock down this new stand in a couple of years and build again. If ANY club is serious about growth aspirations and attracting income, then it needs to be better than this.

My point is, what is the point in doing this now? why not wait until the economy does pick up again and go back to the original plans? that is of course presuming that the issue here really is money.
