The southstand has not happened yet, but have not been shelved forever, I seem to remember GH saying somewhere that it has been put on hold during these difficult economic times, for me that seems a sensible way of carrying out business and not getting into a hole.

Personally I am quite glad Leeds don't have a new ground. I like the older grounds rather than these new stadium.

This could beat Joints voluntary tackle thread from 10 years ago

Given some of the things you've said about him in the past and on this thread, I assumed he took Kath off you?

He took Kath off me, what does that question mean? It doesn't make sense?

I don't reckon you can attribute your stadium to progressiveness or strategic genius. Nice try though

Still talking on the Parra board last night about Willie Tonga to Leeds to make room at Parra for both Folou and Hock. Wigan should be talking about Tonga in P/X for Hock or no deal.

The BBC translation:

Given some of the ridiculous things you say about Hetherington (I hope you don't waste my licence fee by spouting them on air), I can only assume he has wronged you in the past and you can't let it go. Maybe he stole your wife from you?

That is STILL (honest!!!) happening and the continuous lack of cover over the Kirkstall Rd End. Hetherington and Caddick must be sitting on a goldmine!
I dare say that Headingley will soon be overtaken by Craven Park and Belle Vue and their renovations/updates in terms of quality.
They're paying for entertainment on the field and hoping that the speccys continue to overlook the failing of the board to sort the ground out. In a way they are quite lucky, if Leeds hadn't won anything over the last few years there would be plenty of grumbles in the South Stand over why the new one hasn't been built.

Leeds are spending £1m this close season on replacing the playing surface and installing a new under-pitch heating system.

Aye, one of the BIG costs that teams who own their own stadiums are saddled with.

That's about four years rent for Wigan.

Prime of his career, money, fame, adoration... Can you blame him really? I'll admit, when I first heard this I reacted the same way many have "after the way the club stood by him, blah, blah, blah". However thinking about it now, in the same position, hell yeah I'd go! I say good luck to Hock. Let's all wave goodbye, say "good luck lad" and seeing as the age of retirement of a RL forward is getting later all the time, hope he comes home in a few years time. Imagine a Hock with NRL training and experience finishing his career at Wigan? Let's face it, Hock strikes me as the type who wouldn't even enjoy leaving Wigan for a holiday he's that bread into the place! He'll get home sick, come back as a 32 year old and give us possibly 3 devastating years before he calls it a day!

The move is off he will be a wigan player next season.

Leeds fans would disagree somewhat about being entertained during the regular season.

Where have you heard that mate?

Chuffed to bits if it proves to be the case.

Mr (or Mrs, Miss) Shawshank is never wrong.

Good news all round.
