Quote: Backwoodsman "Think Gary is playing the age old game of brinkmanship. The building programme for the north stand looks a bit optimistic. I suspect the local population will not allow night working or maybe Sunday working. So unlike most construction works if work falls behind programme ,major problem look likely.
The situation has disaster written all over it. Even worse Gary may have to pay back his loan. Looking on the bright side I suspect caddick builders will be hot favorites to win the building contract.'"
The North Stand can be written off as the fault of the YCCC and their failure to provide their share of the funding if it doesn't go ahead. The focus then shifts back to the South Stand and why redevelopment can't go ahead. Can't blame YCCC in that instance.
I'm not convinced Leeds are anywhere close to being in a financial position to fund either project. I hope to be proven wrong.
