Can't do this - won't be able to launch bog brushes from the ginnel behind

It's old but at least it's ours.

Are Wiganers all sensitive to UV or something?

How many times last season did it chuck it down during games? Not that many, surely?

its summer rugby(that starts and finishes in winter) in england , take all roofs off

Did the roofs blow off all your stands at Wigan before the semi final against Huddersfield ? I was just wondering how you could only just muster 10,000 for your biggest game of the season. Or maybe you had all checked your barometers and seen there was a likelihood of getting wet on your way to the ground. Are you all made of paper over there in Wigan?

Not sure why people are dishing out stick for this comment it's perfectly legit. We claim this to be the best sport in the world yet the treble winners don't even have a roof on one of our stands, it is pretty poor.

Sure it's our roofless stand but most people dont know or care about that.

Headingley is a poor stadium for the best supported, biggest club in the competition. The North stand is a disgrace really - people paying premium prices to sit on old wooden seats is pathetic. The less said about the western terrace the better.

All gone quiet on the south /north stand front YCC County Champions Leeds Rhinos treble winners plus future test cricket not the mention test RL coming back.

I think YCC have to have it completed by 2019 for an ashes test - didn't they restrict use last season as it was dangerous?

The issue with the shared North/Football stand is that YCCC are in a hurry to get it done because it upgrades their side substantially. The rugby side of the operation aren't, because to them it's just a capital cost that isn't going to add much to the stadium on its south side.

It also makes most sense from a construction perspective to do it during the summer - better weather, longer days, shorter build time. However this is also when it would cause the most disruption to both parties.

There's a delicate bit of negotiation to be done there, hopefully the rugby side will be pragmatic about it and not hamstring YCCC in their attempt to bring up to standard that last part of the Headingley puzzle.

As far as a new South Stand is concerned, you'll get that when the old one gets condemned. As long as GH can continue to pack 8,000 people into it for the big games, he's got no motivation for the expenditure or the hassle it would take to replace it.

Really?
It has the best atmosphere in SL which is due to the stadium. The club seems to have sufficient room for corporate supporters with the cricket side / long bar etc
I sat in the North Stand seats a few years ago for what was a relatively boring Hull KR game and honestly the stand out thing of the night (it really wasn't a classic match) was how comfy those wooden seats were compared to the usual plastic ones. I'd honestly never change them however I do accept they look old fashioned on TV. Maybe a lick of paint every season might help aesthetically?
The Western Terrace is just a terrace. The steps and barriers are well maintained. I used to stand there every week before they stopped the changing ends at half time.
Accept it could do with a roof and I'm sure it would have one if they could get planning permission / buy the houses behind.

So for me we need to paint some seats and put a roof up! Unfortunately until RL starts to appeal to people who watch Wimbledon / Athletics / RU internationals / cycling etc we don't really need a much bigger capacity.
