Second home the gym: |
|
| Come on guys give us a break it isn't often we get chance to play one of the best clubs in the world and it's all meant as banter nothing else, remember when we played you a couple of years ago at Leigh and all the Leeds fans after the game said how welcoming our fans where. Anyway good luck for the rest of the season, i think you will win the grand final by the way.  |

It's hard to redevelop headingley due to it's location and it being used almost year round |

East Terrace - fully redeveloped, now the Carnegie stand
North Stand - shared with YCCC who aren't prepared to stump up their share of the redevelopment costs
Western Terrace - unable to redevelop due to planning issues from the adjacent housing
Southstand - redevelopment plans were signed off and the work due to commence then Leeds City Council pulled the financial plug on their contribution
So we could do what you guys have done and sell our ground to some corporate developer and rent some council owned, sole-less, shared sporting facility (then gloat about it) or sit tight where we are for the time being and put up with what we have.
Option 2 for me. |

Not to mention the significant investment in other areas such as the Lodge, the club shop, Kirkstall etc that has helped improved Leeds' finances along with top training facilities. |

[watching Mackay testing the curry in the prison kitchens]
Fletcher: Course, he sees 'imself as an authority on curry, he does, on account of where he was stationed in the army.
Rudge: Where? India?
Fletcher: No, Bradford.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40413.jpg |

Plus the history of the place. Oozes from evey pore. Some say you can't polish a turd but you can certainly roll it in glitter.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Thats what I said, three quarters of a stand in what is it 70 odd years?
So you bag us for having a council run ( not paid for, all grant funded ) stadium, then use the excuse your council wont build anything for you

Some would say ' Iconic '  , some would say old and outdated |

US ? Be good to see you if you come to Dewsbury on Sunday.
My apologies to Leeds fans for using your message board for trying to get a former Leigh Director to start watching the best Leigh side in 30 seasons in Championship games again.

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

Much of the ground is still a band-aid job though.
WRT the South Stand... rlIs it safe?rl |

I don't think that's what I said - you seem to be having a difficulty interpreting my post. When I said "... Leeds City Council pulled the financial plug on their contribution", what I meant was the financial contribution that Leeds City Council where to give was pulled. I hope that's clear for you now.
What I didn't say was that the "council wont build anything for us". When an investor pulls out at the last minute it's difficult to instantly get another investor to fill their boots. This is the way when you own and maintain your own stadium, something you don't have to worry about when you're simply tenants, renting your facility.
Anyway paint it whatever colour you want - I know which stadium I'd rather be stood in come game nights.
