I thought the Southstand was condemned. So whats suddenly made it safe again. If it falls down during the season will we get a refund on our season ticket ?

The safety of the south stand is relative to whatever agenda applies within any particular space time continuum. A few weeks ago it wasn't safe and something had to be done NOW. However, nothing was done but it's now miraculously safe again.

meh, apart from the manufacturers of fake Burberry, would the rest of us really be that upset if a few of the resident chavs got tent pegged by a 1920's girder?

Nice tarring there squire.

No, really.

Do people actually still wear Burberry?

Thought it was all Henley's now.

The South Stand is as safe now as it's ever been. I've been going to Headingley for over 40 years and it hasn't fallen down once ..... not once. That's how safe it is.

Aye, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
A Green Flag bloke man once told me that he reckoned that 50% of his callouts were to cars that had been serviced the day before.

as nithing has to be done NOW with the stand can they NOW do something about recruitment?

Whats the point if the SS is going to be further restricted or even completely restricted, the last thing you need under those circumstances is a load more bandwaggoners turning up (oh the irony of me saying that) and if you can still finish in the top six and reach a challenge cup final without having to spend any additional money, and with a possibly restricted cash flow next year, then why would you look to increase salary costs ?

Do you and other posters genuinely believe Leeds are significantly below the salary cap?

I haven't a clue.

I can see the obvious advantage to not having to spend significant amounts of overhead on salary in order to attract additional customers who you can't comfortably accommodate when in fact you can achieve the same end of season results by not spending any extra money at all, season after several season - speaks more for the quality of the opposition than the quality of the Leeds team.

I believe Leeds operate below (possibly well below) the permitted salary cap and that's significant to me.

I have nothing in particular to base this on other than the regular statements from the CEO implying Leeds have (historically and by design) left room available to enter the market to react to changing needs during the season or the sudden availability of an unexpected quality addition to the squad.

I also think he's earned a reputation for being as tight as a nat's chuff.

I seem to recall the true meaning of those particular words was discussed at length on here just recently: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=506876&p=16425362
