The next statement from the club needs to be about whether we are playing away from HQ whilst the redevelopment takes place - if so when & where?

We don't need anymore articles telling us how happy GH is that its finally happening or how International cricket will be at HQ.

Interest at a good commercial rate?

Funding is for both. Total cost is £39m, £4m pledged by LCC last year & £35m from the private investor.

IF and I do mean IF we do go to Odsal how many would give it a miss?

But it fails to say what other strings may be attached that could yet mean the LCC Exec Board will not agree to this solution.

I can see you now, walking round your adopted country, promenading in your socks, Jesus sandles, union jack shorts, UKIP t shirt, hanky on head, heading to the Merry Monk in Los Cristianos for a game of darts n doms with other down-trodden plebs while putting the world to rights.

why does the council exec have to agee to this proposal , whats the council involvement then in the finances of it then are they underwriting it ,

why are not YCC and Leeds Rhinos dealing direct with this private finance ,

how is this 35/39m going to be paid back at what cost they will want some return on there investment

Yes

So we're effectively selling the ground to this investment firm and renting it back from them?

If the clubs were contributing equal amounts to the northstand then it would.make sense that this financing is only for the joint stand and the extra 5m or so that the rhinos are contributing is for the southstand and the Carnegie stand and western terrace unaffected.

If that's the case then I'd never set foot in HQ again on principle.

According to the BBC website we are only renting the stands that are to be built.
I would imagine there will be a charge on the the rest of the land and buildings should the debt ever be defaulted on.
However the Leeds City Council will be holding a meeting in April, so maybe its not all cut and dried,unless just a case of dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
Does that also means that Gary's threat of contracts having to be signed by the end of this week was another porky.

What principle?

That'll learn 'em.
