| Quote Biff Tannen="Biff Tannen"Come on guys, the old southstand is great but times move on and you have to move with them.I bet many of the Saints,Wigan, Wire and Hull fans miss their old stadiums since moving into the new flat packs and shared football stadia, i know i loved going to all those grounds for the atmosphere back in the day.At least we get to stay where we are for years to come.'" Yes correct I and many others miss our old ground(Knowsley Rd,)yes it was a heap in the end but atbmosphere,tradition,much nicer walk up on a sunny day.Alas modernity waits for no man welcome to world of sterile seating,no athmosphere at least you lot get to stay in the old dear albiet gutted out and re-plastic'd.appreciate what you got

| Quote Fallon="Fallon"Get over yourself.
You made a silly comment in a public forum and got pulled up on it and now you're getting all defensive and precious.
You are aware of how forums work right?'"
from the other thread populated by people with a lot of problems

You can find plenty more info on the redevelopment plans by following this link: www.hwt-leeds.co.uk/
The South Stand will have a capacity of 7,721 with 2,233 being seated. That means 5,488 standing.
The North Stand will have 3,825 seats, which is a reduction of 985.
"This reduction in capacity of 985 from existing is partly due to the requirements of the TV gantry for Cricket and partly due to the modernisation of the seating facilities within the Rugby Stand (North) providing wider tiers and improved seating configuration to enhance comfort and viewing of the pitch for Rugby fans."

| The plan for the Southstand the one that came out in the 90s or early century I'm sure it was a double tier like a larger version of the Carnegie

| It wasn't that long ago the capacity of the South Stand was down to 6,000 anyway. So a reduction of a few hundred on that isn't exactly a disaster.
If it were being converted entirely to seating I could understand such concern. But just cutting the capacity a bit of a rarely full stand doesn't seem like an issue requiring a campaign group.

| Saw this on another forum. Allows for 2 tiers both sides, with the top tiers overlapping one another in a sort of 45 degree angle T shape. Still includes the dual aspect corporate facilities. This would then eliminate the need for seating in the South Stand, so we could have a nice big terrace with plenty of atmosphere. Easy.

| Do you think that cost constraints & affordability may have played a part in reaching the current proposals?

Of course. Just thought it was an interesting idea that others might like to see.

If the price of a seat can be levered upwards enough to make it worthwhile then I expect at some point it will be.

That's like me bringing home brochures for a Merc & then buying a Dacia.
A futile exercise.
