I'd back my plastic seat in the Carnegie Stand against any wooden seat in the North Stand. I can't wait for the demolition & rebuild to start.

I think that once the redevelopment work is completed that our stadium will be one to be proud of



New North Stand







New South Stand







How the stadium will look after the redevelopment







Carnegie Stand

i apologise for that comment,i did mean factual in the sense about my comments on the standards of the stadium.i originally joined in this thread,because of a comment that headingley is the best ground in super league.i disagree with that comment.i also stated that treatment of away fans is awful.we are paying to watch the same game,in diffrent degrees of comfort.

well thanks for that info,next time we will get in the south stand,unless the stewards send us round to the away end again.

I'm sure if you bought a South Stand ticket you could go in. Just as I can no longer go in the South Stand with my Paddock season ticket, unless I get a ticket for that area. If you buy a ticket for the Western Terrace that is where you can stand.

Back on topic though...I like the look of the new place.

Just hope the building goes without a hitch and minimum disruption. Not holding my breath though.

cheers.it looks impresive,hope it happens.good luck for the rest of the season.

As do we all. On your original point about the West terrace, it is a past its sell by date facility I guess the weather is a major factor in whether it is an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately at the moment there are no plans to rebuild or cover that area, but as has been said, tickets for The East, North and Southstand are open to away fans to buy. Enjoy the rest of your season

You don't pay £20 for a bit of genocide though





Headingley is an embarrassment for club that has been as successful as Leeds have over the past 10 years. Wooden seats in your premier enclosure is what I would have expect 30/40 years ago.



Leeds fans can defend it all you want but its a disgrace for an elite sporting club. The players get all the luxuries but the fans who pay for the players get third rate facilities.



Hopefully the new development will put right what has needed putting right for decades

Strong parallels with modern day Britain

. Topical.



FWIW I wasn't taking issue with the sentiment contained in the OP, just felt the point was being made in a slightly melodramatic way.

I would happily sit in a wooden seat than give back even one of the trophies we have won over the last 10 years, so if the money was invested in the players I am more than willing to except it.

I take your point but your sentiment is potentially an issue in the game. It simply doesn't raise sufficient income as Leeds are now finding out. The club hasn't generated sufficient income to invest in both its facilities and its team. The standards on the field are the lowest in the history of SL because the game here cannot compete financially with the NRL or RU for the very essence of the game the players.



Everything is very short term its about survival now and not prosperity in the future. If you don't invest in the fabric of your business it will have a limited life span.
