| Headingley is a poor stadium for the best supported, biggest club in the competition. The North stand is a disgrace really - people paying premium prices to sit on old wooden seats is pathetic. The less said about the western terrace the better.

I think YCC have to have it completed by 2019 for an ashes test - didn't they restrict use last season as it was dangerous?

| The issue with the shared North/Football stand is that YCCC are in a hurry to get it done because it upgrades their side substantially. The rugby side of the operation aren't, because to them it's just a capital cost that isn't going to add much to the stadium on its south side.
It also makes most sense from a construction perspective to do it during the summer - better weather, longer days, shorter build time. However this is also when it would cause the most disruption to both parties.
There's a delicate bit of negotiation to be done there, hopefully the rugby side will be pragmatic about it and not hamstring YCCC in their attempt to bring up to standard that last part of the Headingley puzzle.
As far as a new South Stand is concerned, you'll get that when the old one gets condemned. As long as GH can continue to pack 8,000 people into it for the big games, he's got no motivation for the expenditure or the hassle it would take to replace it.

Really?
It has the best atmosphere in SL which is due to the stadium. The club seems to have sufficient room for corporate supporters with the cricket side / long bar etc
I sat in the North Stand seats a few years ago for what was a relatively boring Hull KR game and honestly the stand out thing of the night (it really wasn't a classic match) was how comfy those wooden seats were compared to the usual plastic ones. I'd honestly never change them however I do accept they look old fashioned on TV. Maybe a lick of paint every season might help aesthetically?
The Western Terrace is just a terrace. The steps and barriers are well maintained. I used to stand there every week before they stopped the changing ends at half time.
Accept it could do with a roof and I'm sure it would have one if they could get planning permission / buy the houses behind.
So for me we need to paint some seats and put a roof up! Unfortunately until RL starts to appeal to people who watch Wimbledon / Athletics / RU internationals / cycling etc we don't really need a much bigger capacity.

| I disagree totally about the wooden seats in the North Stand. I think they are really small & uncomfortable, not a patch on my plastic seat in the Carnegie Stand.
There is massive goodwill from the Rhinos & YCCC re the need to rebuild the joint stand. The stumbling block I believe is that both parties are seeking funding from the city council - not a simple matter in these austere times.
If that can be achieved then the scheme will go ahead. It will impact less on YCCC than the Rhinos. Indeed I think that the rugby side will need to relocate for a major part of the work otherwise the loss of income would be significant.

| Quote: Fallon "Not sure why people are dishing out stick for this comment it's perfectly legit. We claim this to be the best sport in the world yet the treble winners don't even have a roof on one of our stands, it is pretty poor.
Sure it's our roofless stand but most people dont know or care about that.'"
Thanks. I expected the stupid comments anyway.
Who the hell wants to go to a rugby match and stand there for 2+ hours getting wet through? I've done it many times before at Headingley but won't again.

No they don't. People want to stay dry. Pretty obviously.

of course. Hence the huge uplift in attendance we would see when putting a roof on the western terrace cuts its capacity.
Because it always rains innit.

If it's that important to you that you stay dry, take a seat in the North or Carnegie stand. Or go stand on the Carnegie Terrace.
At least you have the choice about whether you watch the game from a standing or seated position at Headingley. Not the case at some newer grounds, is it?

| It would be nice to have a new south stand with rail seats.

| I sat in the north stand for the first time at the NZ game. Thought it was ok to be honest, more leg room than I've experienced at Elland Road and Old Trafford plus there was loads of places to eat and drink, wouldn't mind sitting there again

That is what I do now!
And no it's not, but that's just the evolution of stadia, which Headingley has only 1/4 taken part in.
