if seating cap on that stand is 3000 but has no seats, i reckon it will have a 4000 cap at least for standing..

wonder how much they are asking for it, because as another has said it will be a mechano build anyways, so it coul be made to fit the south end properly and would be a cheaper option than building from new.

although it would mean a rethink would have to be done for the scoreboard etc...

Oh, wash your mouth out STANDING, you cannot expect these new breed of RL fans to STAND, its the 21st century FFS.

i did not say that they would have to stand, that was just my guess as too its standing capacity because all that is mentioned in the advert is the seating capacity(no seats)

Give me standing any day, sitting is awful and generates crap atmosphere

Here! Here!

Now setting off for the East "STAND"

East stand extension has started (i'm involved with the project) and the companies have been invited to tender for the North Stand up to now.

Any pics?

No mate, they have only cleared the ground in preperation.

I have, however, found out this morning that work has been suspended due to Hull KR not being granted planning permission yet. They started the groundwork hoping that it would be granted during this period, but it hasnt happened.

Oh joy.

Indeed, it's not as if it's come as a surprise that we're planning on building a new stand and I don't think you have to be that much of a construction expert to assume that if you're thinking of building a whopping big structure complete with crematorium chimney you might have to get permission to do so.

Well unless i'm reading it wrong rlthisrl says otherwise.
