Dewsbury probably, Batley probably, Whitehaven not so sure.
Whether they need them is a different matter. ![]()
Batley have two all seated stands which you would know if you bothered to follow your team away!! With a total capacity of 7,500 for when the glory days return in the year 3000

Yeah- I said you've probably got 1500. What's your issue ? Want me to count them or summat ?  |

So like yourself and HL I can't for the life of me see why the 1500 limit is required.
I seem to remember that 1500 is the total number of seats at Wheldon Road, so not sure if the RFL are thinking ahead. ![]()
Wheldon Lane would be instantly recognisable to Rip van Winkle after three sleeps.

I do follow my team away, however I prefer to watch what's happening on the pitch rather that count the fans/seats/pie stalls like a lot of people seem to do as it's all they bang on about. |

Think this is the first time I've posted on this forum (or any for that matter) in nearly two years but think it's due. Great announcement today, I know the whole 'wait until it's built' brigade will be out but the club wouldn't announce this and show plans if it wasn't happening.
Well done to Tubbs, Ian (Anniss & Swire), John Whaling and the rest of the board for working to get this done.

I've checked, my last post prior to that was 5th September 2012. I think I've missed the bandwagon.

Hope this all works out for you, looks like a nice set up.
I would offer the same word of caution I offered to Wakefield, Castleford, Swinton and Doncaster fans. Until you're sat watching a game in it, it isn't happening! Plenty of clubs release drawings and announce funding for new stadiums but only a few of them ever happen.
It sounds like you have the local authority fully behind it which will help massively but there are always curve balls
