So... how much are those Carniege Terrace tickets again?

| Quote Remarkable_Rhinos="Remarkable_Rhinos"The last 22,000 was only in June '07. I know that's 4 years but not exactly ages ago.
To say we're unlikely to need the capacity for the foreseeable future is incredibly short sighted. What if we needed it in 2016? We'll still have this stand then!
Whatever we build now, we're stuck with for decades, and to spend £7m to reduce our capacity is total madness.'"
How many times has that capacity been needed since?
Since 2000 (which is as far back as the records on the SL Stats part of this website go), Leeds have exceeded the capacity under the new stadium plans a grand total of seven times.
Five of those occasions have been against Bradford.
So for one game a season, which hasn't had a crowd over 20,000 for four years, we want the club to be putting itself into additional debt which it then has to service? For what sort of return?
Course, the club could not do anything and just wait until the entire stand loses its H&S certificate if you want? Care to speculate on how much lost revenue that would result in?

Again... short sighted.
What about this Exiles match? That could grow over a number of years. Rugby League World Cup? Neutral Venue? I doubt the residents thing would allow pop concerts but the point is still there. Don't Wire rent the HJ out to the Liverpool FC reserves? What if LUFC get back in the big time and the same deal could be done?
It's all just very short sighted to say "we don't need the capacity".

There is a belting site at the side of the M1 link-road, South of the river that would be good for a stadium... in fact, I am sure someone else fancied a nice new ground there at some point?

| I'd agree with AG on this. Also, might a new North Stand in the nearish future be an opportunity to expand capacity if it's needed? Or filling in the corner between the Carnegie & South stands?

How much do you reckon you'll get for a plot of land sandwiched between a cricket stadium and a main road, with pretty much zero potential for development?
Now come up with a figure of how much it would cost to buy a huge plot of land in LS16, clear it, build a new stadium with all the assorted facilities such as parking.
Take the second figure from the first one, then think how much interest alone you'd be paying on a loan of that size.
Can you see why it's a non-starter now?

| Quote Sal Paradise="Sal Paradise"2.3m at October has to keep the club going until January - by January it will have next to nothing - hence the need to play the festive season game. Wages for both teams etc will be close to 400k a month these still need to be paid even though revenues are virtually non-existent.'" Only enough to keep Leeds RLFC running - the RU team is presumably only a short term loan.
Anyway, in cashflow as opposed to income recognition terms November/December is a very positive period as that is when most season ticket cash and lower level sponsorship comes in together with a goodly chunk of the new shirt sales. So in some respects the end of October could be considered towards the bottom of the company's annual cash cycle.
Quote Sal Paradise="Sal Paradise"Not sure it has more corporate than either Huddersfield or Wigan?'" Fairly sure Headingley beats them
