So Leeds are not going to borrow any money for the stand?

[i"The total cost will be in the region of ten million pounds and this will require the club to borrow and repay over the next decade"[/i

Specsavers in the marketgate centre will be delighted to see you.....

Paragraph 6

I think it's your mate smokey who needs to go there and your goodself if you can't see why I made the original post.

I can't actually believe that a roof on the away terrace is being left out of the plans. Surely that is pretty important. Improved facility for away fans, higher price for tickets, better atmosphere. The only place we actually do get covered in Yorkshire is Hudds!

So more tight bummed yorkshiremen putting themselves first and making the away stand the only stand that isn't covered still.

If I had a team and was deveoloping the stadium I'd never do 3 stands and not the other because I think it looks stupid.

I think the excuse for not having a roof at the away end is because they cannot get planning permission due to the houses at the back of the ground. A roof would affect their light.
Having said that it is all student accommodation so sod 'em.

Hull?

Perhaps there is no ring fenced revenue stream to pay for an away end.

It's got nowt to do with being tight, as there's a very good medical reason for not enclosing the space.
As the prevailing winds in the UK are generally from a South West to Westerly direction, most of the crap wet weather is deposited on your side of the country, whilst we, who reside in God's County, bask in a more temperate zone.

So, when a rather bedraggled bus load arrives from the other side of the Pennines, the best option is to have them standing on an open terrace , with a good brisk breeze at their backs to get rid of that damp smell that seems to follow them everywhere, and some honest Yorkshire sun on their faces to invigorate them with a healthy dose of vitamin D

You know it makes sense!

this has already been addressed. Im not sure who has told you the cost would be paid for upfront.

i dont need to, i can just point and laugh at your poor attempts at distraction techniques and straw men.
