Some serious hardball needs to be played with the LCC so we can get back on track, luckily we have just the right man in charge for the job.

Yes, yes and thrice yes, couldn't agree more. The new stadiums are a novelty at first but soon become boring when you're visiting the same identikit stadiums every week. This thread is like a dagger through my heart, I couldn't stand the thought of moving from Headingley which has history,memories and an atmoshere all of its own. Behind Wembley i would say Headingley is the most famous ground for overseas players who all relish the chance to play at the possibly the most famous Rugby League club ground in the world.

What does that mean?

If we built a new ground, using the same plans as Dortmunds stadium would be pretty fantastic.



Also the plans that were drawn up for Liverpool with the massive Kop end looked great

Agree entirely. I'm not one of the old codgers, I haven't witnessed the majority of the history of our traditional ground, but I appreciate it and have enough memories myself. I wouldn't think of moving away from Headingley, how can the Rhinos leave that behind. I'd be happy to see the stadium gradually be modernised but without taking away the traditional heritage away from it.

Isn't the site next to Elland Road available? (Am I right in thinking it was supposed to be a super-casino?)

There's also a huge plot of land next to the new (ish!) Porsche garage which is right on the motorway link. Although the traffic is bad enough there on a Friday night so not sure how the road network was cope.

Fine. Hunslet can move there.

those traffic lights are the bane of my life. If you come from Gildersome towards town, i swear the lights stay gree for 10 seconds and then back to red

Agreed although you'll struggle to find a Wigan fan who will agree with you - thats not to say they are right, just that none of them can remember Central Park and what the atmosphere used to be like there (in a good way).

The site next to Elland Road Stadium is becoming a New Police Station I'm told.

My Old Man works at Mercedes Benz on Elland Way and they were told this.

Twas in the paper that the old bill were going to have a new station on there.

They are.

Be handy for them when Millwall, Cardiff etc come to visit.

The main reason for Bates building a hotel is that all that area is up for proposed development

Most Major league baseball clubs have had new grounds built,but there are two who have kept their old traditional ones.Fenway park of the Boston Redsox is the most favoured ballpark among fans they have kept to the old fasioned appearance ,but modernised the inside, same thing with Wrigley field in Chigago
