Or - and here's a novel idea - if you're that worried about getting wet pay to sit or stand in a part of the ground that's under cover.

Don't buy a ticket to stand on an open terrace then complain about it afterwards.

For me, I'm not sure how we cannot flatten the WT and put a stand exactly like Salford away stand. It probably wouldn't be higher than the stand reaches now and would be feasible for me.

But that is for another time of course and maybe in the future that will happen.

I for one cannot wait to see the plans become reality. I was abit cautious of the seats being put in, but it's very understandable.

I think something like you said will happen somewhere further down the line .The club did say there will be improvements to the western terrace.

Brilliant news. We'll get rid of the South Stand yobs earlier. I was assured at the Carnegie Cafe that they'll encourage familes in the new South Stand and are really happy how much easier it will be to steward. Now let's start watching our Rugby League in peace instead of having to endure the incessant drone these drunken lower class yobs think is an "atmosphere".

I'll even probably move my seats there myself when the time comes. Roll on August!

I doubt any work will be done on the WT until Leeds can get the kind of stand that they want. As all the other stands will be done now, you can't have a new WT that reduces capacity.
I'd imagine around a 10 year period at least will be needed after the North & South Stand redevelopments in order to replenish the Headingley coffers, then you may see a focus on the WT.

Wait for it !

I wonder if they considered making the southstand all seating and the north stand all standing. There is plenty of room behind the southstand to build a large stand.

As a Western Terrace ST holder... you can all go blow!!!

At the WT end there's plenty of room, at the Carnegie Stand end there's not much room at all.

Lower class???
Drunken yobs????
Snobby attitude that. Id say try yawnion but there are drunken upper class yobs there too.
have a word with yourself Lord Grevillle

There is no away end at Headingley. Visiting fans are free to buy tickets for any area of the ground, even those covered and or seated.

HTH

I think the planning application is in for quite a battle the objections have begun according to YEP.sorry I couldn't post the link

I'm sure you're right & I alluded to this in my first post on all this when the proposals were first published.
The entire scheme stands or falls on the ability to raise funds from the sale of these parcels of land.
BUT the fact that both areas I believe are included in the Council's outline plans for housing development to meet the Government's targets for new house building should help.
If the proposals are called in by Whitehall following objections & presumably a public enquiry it's difficult to see how the current timetable will be achieved.

A pre-application meeting, followed by a three week wait for comments before a further application meeting, for stuff that was already in the public domain anyway.

God bless the slow-turning wheels of local democracy.
