What about the Exiles match? Are you seriously suggesting Leeds invest an extra million quid into the stadium so they can get whatever amount the RFL are paying them to host an exhibition game?



Weren't Leeds United playing their reserve games at Belle Vue at one point? Why would Headingley need an extra 1,000 on its capacity to host them?

Your "build it and they will come" attitude is commendable but entirely unrealistic.

Ah, the Gilder school of Economics.

Forgive me, when you are investing substantial sums in the future of your business, is it generally the accepted course of action to reduce your future revenue stream? A potential thousand less paying punters per week over the course of a season could make the debt repayment a bit more problematic!

And if it's all right with you, yes, I think it's reasonable for anyone seeing the original proposal and comparing it with what's on offer, to feel less than excited.

I'm not saying let's build a huge stadium. I've not even saying let's increase the capacity.

I'm just saying, if we're spending £7,000,000 let's a least come out of it with the same capacity as we had before we spent a penny.

It's like paying to extend your house and ending up with fewer, smaller rooms, but a much more sturdy wall.

Spot on. On all counts.

Which version of the proposed south stand is depicted [url=http://www.therhinos.co.uk/news/15490.phpHERE?[/url

"Welcome to your newly extended Asda... we've got fewer aisles & fewer checkouts but wait 'til you see the new Baby Changing Facilities!!"

Go on then Adam Smith - based on attendances over the most successful period in the club's history, how much revenue are Leeds going to lose by having a capacity of 21,000 rather than 22,000?

Let's keep it to actual, realistic revenue streams though if that's alright with you? Not pie in the sky like the Exiles game suddenly becoming the third biggest event in British RL after the Grand Final and Challenge Cup Final.

The very same, albeit with 4 extra metres added to the top. It was always going to look like the new pics.

Looks 4 metres lower to me and that was way back in December

4 inches, 4 metres... it is all the same to Keith!

Ahhhh... that takes me back to the days when the new screen was still just a twinkle in the designers eye. And now, just month's later, there it is doing its job, hoping that one day future human history can bear testament to the supreme influential role played by the greatest and most remarkable Big Screen ever to be erected.

God bless the Screen, and all who look at it. We salute you.

Quality rather than quantity

though in the case of this new proposal for the new south stand, neither appears to apply.
