£90 for a brick

Hetherington must have been dining out with Ken Bates - how can I fleece the fans united.

its a good un innit?why the north stand ?its gonna be 10 years before that gets built

If I've read it correctly Leeds are going to build a stand with only 500 bricks, therefore it follows that each brick is going to be fooking huge, hence the not unreasonable £90 price tag.

Yes and its been well thought out 500 bricks for 90quid each I think that adds up to 4500 pounds not much really because its a Spratt to catch a Mackerel..In about 6 months or so there will be another statement "due to the very high demand for BRICKS there were many many disappointed people,so were are extending the offer we now offering another 5000 bricks, first come first served".Got to hand it to our Gary

Nearly right. 500 X £90

5 X 9 = 45 then stick the three 0's back on

=£45,000

It might struggle to cover the architect's fee let alone finance the build.

yes I meant 45000 my keyboard is not working right, I still think is bait to entice people into a bigger money making scheme .If it was for the imminent southstand I would think about it ,but the North stand that could be 10 years away

This is fookin’ typical of Leeds. £90 for a brick???

Why not offer a simple brick with your name engraved for a £10?

To have your name immortalised at Headingley for £10 would have a much higher take-up and I’m pretty sure they’d sell more than 4.5K.

Why is it that Leeds Rugby always has to be just that little bit too greedy?

I bought one for a friend at Ibrox about 9 years ago. They have panels of normal bricks which are engraved and are part of a wall around the ground - that was the idea of suggesting it for the new South Stand.

Back then they were £35 for the brick plus a certificate of ownership.

I think somewhere along the way, they missed the point of the suggestion - if it was cheaper and in the right stand it would be more of an opportunity.

Surely they will have a rethink.If they had a scheme for the SS like the one Fatboy suggested maybe I would buy one ,but not at the Northstand ..I bet the Northstand will still be there in 10 years

I suppose if we get 500 fans willing to part with £90, they could collectively buy Odsal, and have a little bit left for development

The club have been in touch and asked me to clarify what all this brick business is about. Here's their explanation;
