I dont see the logic in this. Those that want to Stand in the south stand, can stand. Who is bothered that there are some seats above you?

See my point of view. Me and my old man had been south standers for 10 years. However my dad now has arthritis in his back so for the past two years we have had to move to the very dull paddock to sit down and just envy the atmosphere that is in the south stand. So from point of view, this is brilliant news.

What I would like to see is a lower roof. That is what makes the current south stand unique. Why do all these modern stands have very high massive roofs that is wide open to the elements??

Quote: rhino phil "remember widnes players being snowballed by the eastern terrace after being sent off and trudging up that slope. Think it was sorenson (it usually was) Those memories are part of our history and heritage but the world moves on and the new redevelopped headingley will be great'"


Ha! Yes I remember that. Happy days. Those were the days when myself, my brother and late dad used to have "our" regular spot midway along the the South Stand. There was a group of women, who stood down to the right of us, who could always be reliably depended on for bringing those glorious warming spirit hip flasks to share. How we used to perversely use to 'hate' the big games when we had to set off earlier to secure "our" spots and then have to endure the reduced comfort of reasonable space around you.
Worse...losing your spot altogether to some damn alien opposition supporter(s). The Hull lot were usually the worst for this 'crime'.

Memories memories....but as the deaths of David Bowie and now Terry Wogan (both of whom I have spent my whole life growing up with) have highlighted, time marches inexorably onwards. Even Kevin Dick is a very old man now icon_sad.gif

I don't understand why we would need the two badges on the New North stand, surely two extra boxes would be better as they would at least generate some income. This is the only question I have over them, everything else looks great

Quote: DHM "The season starts in Feb and finishes in October. Frankly we would probably have better overall weather if we started in September and finished in May.'"


always thought summer a misnomer , pitches are better these days though (when union stops)

a wigan fan at xmas was complaining how sterile new ground is and put them off going.

you dont have to arrive early to stand where you want either though farcically the yellow lines were strictly policed at abletts testimonial

Nobody knows at this point how much the atmosphere will be affected if the proposed rebuild goes ahead. I don't know how truly representative the views are on this forum, or how many people are really that bothered. I would have liked the South Stand replaced like for like, an all standing terrace. Obviously what the Leeds club ideally wanted has been compromised totally by what the cricket side wants. If the North Stand could have been rebuilt as an all seater with at least the same capacity, the South Stand wouldn't have been an issue, it would have been another all standing terrace. I do have some sympathy with annoyed fans against the current S.S plans, and I can see their concerns. As A North Stander, I'm not too sure I like the look of the redeveloped North Stand. I've had too many soakings in more modern cantilever stands, and the proposed stand doesn't look as weather tight as the current one. If I had my way I'd be happy to keep the current North Stand and have any necessary structural problems rectified, and the toilets upgraded. I'm not bothered about what YCCC wants, not my problem. If the new South Stand does get the go ahead, I'm not sure who would want to sit above the incessant beating of a drum, or have their children listen to a few hundred fans telling them Delaney will "fu**in" murder 'em". At this stage I don't think anybody really knows what the outcome might be if we have a part standing/part seating South Stand. The club have invited feedback from fans, and that can only be the right thing to do. How much they listen is another thing altogether. My guess is that for what ever reasons, Leeds have pretty much decided they are prepared to compromise on what they really wanted, and the current plans will be pushed through what ever the feedback. I don't see the ground atmosphere been anywhere near as good with the proposed redevelopments, and I will be sure to cherish what could be the last season at Headingley with the iconic South Stand in it's current form.
