So the application gets rejected And if the club has no other options ,how long could the club carry on spending money keeping the Southstand safe?

I would suggest over a year the rugby attracts far more people from outside the city than the cricket especially in year Headingley doesn't get a test match.

How much do they spend outside the ground?



I'd wager - although I know you don't like that kind of thing

- international cricket brings in much more money for the city's hotel, bar and restaurant trade than a season of away fans coming to Rhinos games does.

And LCC has written off1 million pounds of the loan to YCCC , They should have been made t pay t back in full and gone to pay for local services , its our tax money

As stakeholders of the club fans are directly impacted.



I'm more than comfortable if the decision is made with the totality for information and opinions assessed. I'm not really interested in having the bestest and classiest planning application, written on the finest gilted vellum by the world's leading calligraphers. Nor do I think that the only voices that can be heard are the squeaky-wheel nimbys

The Southstand as it is now surely the club cant maintain it in perpetuity .

GH simply wants as many season tickets sold as early as possible and irrespective of where they are sold in the ground

His perception being that all those fans that currently stand in the SS will panic and renew their tickets for elsewhere in the ground due to the stadiums capacity being reduced to 13,000

IMO it's still 50/50 whether it will ever get off the ground this year and i certainly wouldn't be surprised if it was shelved yet again



If I was a season ticket holder I would hold fire and make GH and the club work a bit harder on their part to make the tickets more attractive for fans seeking entertaining each week



Maybe he might be then forced into throwing in a couple of star signings for 2017icon_wink.gif

Access work has already started in the south west corner, reducing the Western Terrace capacity for the rest of this year.

Caddick & Hetherington will already have discussed this at length with the planners, Councillors (who decide the permission) & MPs. They will know exactly the likelihood of permission, either by the LPA or on appeal. The decision should be made on policy rather than popularity. There is a housing shortage, despite there being over 1 million empty properties, & there is significant pressure on Councils to build new housing, though I doubt there will be one family buying the type of houses that will be built who is desperately in need of a 5 bed detached property.
