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.

Plenty of people. Pretty obviously.

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.

Would you recommend we follow your lots lead and become lodgers at Elland Road?

No but I'd recommend getting something new to try and wind people up about because most of us don't care we play in a nice, modern, dry stadium with a great view of the game and a proper concourse but I suspect your intellect couldn't stretch that far.

It does seem to be winding you up pretty well though.

It's really depressing to see fans just blindly rolling out rubbish to 'defend' their club. Any muppet can see we should have roofs on all our stands. This summer rugby stuff is just rubbish.

The guy has a point but because he has Wigan in his name people get uppity. Fact is HQ is an old stadium that could do with some upgrades.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the atmosphere, I love being able to stand and I love we aren't in debt. But we aren't talking about moving to out of Leeds to take a loan to build some 30,000 monster stadium. We are talking about a roof on an end terrace.

Really poor response from many on here.

I don't disagree that Headingley does need upgrades but we all know the score regards the western terrace.If GH could get a roof on there it would be but it's out of his hands and is what it is.

You can go on all you want about modern stadia, but i'll wager you ask all the players in SL which ground they love playing at and look forward to going to the most, a high percentage would pick Headingley.The atmosphere is fantastic, that can't be denied.Yes, it needs upgrades and hopefully the South Stand at least will get some TLC soon as well as the North and then it should be in a healthy state.The Western Terrace will never have a roof so the away fans will just have to get over it.How many times will they come anyway? once, twice at the most and a lot of the time it will be a nice dry summers day. Rest of the season they can enjoy the game from their comfy seats nice and dry, in the pretty lifeless stadia we have nowadays up and down the country, while we continue to enjoy the best true Rugby Stadium in the Country

It's a stroke of genius from Gary leaving the western terrace without a roof. Away fans pay the higher price on the gate, rather than getting cheaper advance tickets and the away club misses out on their 10% commission on tickets, as away fans wait to check it's not raining.

CHOMP! you vapid dolt of the picean persuasion. I know the benefits that the superb stadium you borrow when you are allowed to, from the footballists, offers. But I'd rather attend matches at stadium with equally superb facilities, a history and one where we are prime users.

My intellect whilst I am sure not as impressive as yours stretches a lot further than you'd think. But then underestimating all things Loiner is stock in trade for you perhaps.

Consider yourself let off the hook, swim along
