| Quote: Starbug "So you admit, it is a dump ,irrelivant what other clubs have or havent done, the ' stadium ' is 2/3 rds of a new stand, 2 90 year old stands and an open terrace, it serves its purpose, but it is a dump
And if Leeds had sorted out a new modern stadium you and others would have been scathing in comments of other smaller but similar structures at other clubs, it is a dump of a sports stadium'"
I don't agree it's a "dump" at all and I'm struggling to see where I said or inferred that in my previous posts. As mentioned above, Headingley meets 'Framing the Future' standards to the letter. Has Headingley reached its full potential yet? No. But then. you'll find that the supporters and the club owners realise that.
And what qualifies you to predict what I would / wouldn't have done if a hypothetical situation had occurrred? This intrigues me.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: MjM "You do understand that the corporate facilities at Headingley which are owned by YCCC (essentially now the Carnegie Pavilion) are different to the Leeds Rugby League-owned ones (Carnegie Stand, main pavilion)? Some serve both but since they are constantly sold out for Super League games it's something of a moot point; most of Leeds' revenue from these comes from the 345 days a year there isn't a Rugby League game or cricket test match on.
'"
Exactly, we are discussing the watching of RL at Headingley , and over 3/4 s of that is done in early 20th century structures, protest all you want, its a fact

Not saying it isnt, but anybody looking without emotion attached and from a ' watching ' a RL match from a point of view in the modern day would describe 80 % of it a dump

| Headingley isn't a dump. It's got character that you cannot buy these days.

You cant buy it because nobodies selling stands like that anymore, they stopped building them in the 1940 s

Whilst you cannot deny there hasn't been a lot of investment at Headingley surely you're scraping the barrell a little there.

86.jpg Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

| With a bit more imagination and better use of the budget given, The York Community Stadium team has released further imagery of how they'd like the Stadium to be.
Going to be 8,000 seater which is pushed for with the below design and unit spaces requiredhttps://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/281050_395858137152891_1610880856_o.jpg" >

Let's look at the evidence shall we?
Headingley 65 years ago.
Yes, you're right

Looks nice. Looks like the soccer lot are ensuring their colours in the seats are prominent. RL second fiddle as always.
