I didn't say there where any wooden seats in the Carnegie stand, I class a stand along the long side of the pitch that is not standing as any clubs "best" stand. '"
Surely you would class the stand with the most expensive seats in it as the "best stand"?
Quote: nick hkr "More comfortable than plastic seats? Ok then let's run with that excuse!!! '"
Every other part of the stadium has had work done on it over the last 20 years, do you really think that they wouldn't have put new seats in if it was needed? The fact is the season ticket holders who sit in those seats have been repeatedly asked their views and they say the wooden seats are more comfortable than sitting in plastic seats, and having been on a couple of corporates before I would agree with them.
Quote: nick hkr "The Western Terrace that I have stood on for the past 6 years is no better than standing at Featherstone. So considering you're a club that makes profit year on year (in the Hetherington world of accounting) why are Leeds running on a par with a financially troubled Championship club in relation to that stand? '"
I'm sorry, you originally said the Western Terrace is crumbling, have you changed your mind? I'd love to know, other than a roof, how standing could be improved on the Western Terrace? So by comparing it to Fev you are basically saying there isn't a roof. Well spotted. Did you also spot the public walkway right behind the stand and the housing right behind the public walkway?
The "Hetherington world of accounting"? Don't throw slurs around just because your own club can't add up.
Quote: nick hkr "I hope your South Stand is rebuilt and I hope not replaced with a soul-less plastic stand. I love the old stadia but it is always nice to keep up with the times on certain things like a roof which given the time you've been at the top of the game should have been forthcoming many years ago. '"
So in 8 years we should have bought the houses behind the stand, negotiated with council re the public footpath, passed planning permission, designed, financed and built effectively a new stand? I see why you support KR now.
Quote: nick hkr "Are you really comparing your Carnegie stand to other stadiums in the country like the KC and DW? When all is said and done you have 3 very poor (in comparison to the all singing all dancing stadia built within the past 13 years) stands that would be lucky to get a SL licence if it were not for the club playing in the middle of them. You have one stand that I accept is a great facility but would not class it as second in line only to Wembley within the Rugby League stadia circle! That is a statement straight from the Gary Hetherington PR machine and it looks like some Leeds fans take it hook, line and sinker! '"
