Does anyone know what the layout will be in the new southstand? I think we need some standing areas at least.

All seater , and it will be alot bigger than the current stand . St Michaels Lane will run underneath the rear of it .

shall we tell him

I just did .

It needs to have a cake franchise or I won't go anywhere near it

Could we not have a Southstander cake stall? Bring in a bit of extra cash for Mr Southstander.com and we all get cake.

Would be a prime slot for your first "Betty's Gym".

I did tell 'The Sleeve', when he asked about food outlets for the new stand, that he should seriously consider an offer that sold cake! My only worry is that he gets sucked into to going with the current 'cake' trend and opens a cup-cake franchise!

As for the less serious stuff of cake, leave the South Stand update with me a couple of days (heading to the smoke on the train at the moment) and I will see what the word is on the construction grapevine!

I will give you a clue... it will not be called the new South Sit!

However, the new surf-world (incorporating cake-island) will take up the whole of the car park and allotments over the bridge!

If they extend it enough to reach the train track, we could have our own station!

Job done.

hmm wonder if we can have richie spedding to open the cake shop

They hope to get the planning permission in during the next few weeks.

For the cake shop? How big will it be? Have local residents been informed yet?

RE OP they hope to get planning permission within the next few weeks, to start just before the end of the season (Wakefield being played at a neutral ground RE Elland Road)

When is it supposed to be completed by? I have seen the artist drawings in one of the programmes this season, but not sure how accurate they were as it appeared headingley and North Leeds was all lovely forest.
