Agree, guess club will be hoping limiting the supply will maintain or even increase demand.

Why should away fans have any pre-determined right to tickets over home fans?

There has to be a certain percentage of tickets of available capacity available to away fans. This is fair for obvious reasons.i would say if our capacity was 13k it would he about 1000- 1500 for away fans.Leeds fans would get the returns im sure.

Don't think it works like that. Nowt to prevent a home fan buying from the away club if he/she so wishes. Just a mutually beneficial arrangement where the away club makes a few quid by helping flog tickets while the home club benefits from a larger attendance than if they alone had handled sales.

1500 would be over 10% of available tickets!

5% if any at all would be prefrable for me

If our first few home games were Catalans, Salford and Huddersfield away fans wouldn't be an issue.

in the operational rules 2017 the away club are entitled to up to 10% of all tickets that are available to the general public so a max of 1300 have to be made available

section A3-28 of the 2017 RFL operational rules

It's just lucky that Hull KR and their millions...[size=60and millions[/size of fans won't be coming any time soon.

24 mil in debt?

Wow!

And we thought we had problems.

that is a very sobering read,things certainly look very bleak for ycc with that debt hanging around their neck

it will be interesting to see the outcome of this on off saga

I don't see a £24 million debt as a problem, when you own your own stadium. It's just like a mortgage, as opposed to renting a stadium, like a lot of sporting teams do.

So is it the south stand that's getting built at the end of the season, or the north stand? All this is very confusing

It certainly puts them under pressure to generate enough revenue to service the debt. I have no idea what YCCC turn over but that is a wedge of cash they have to find every year. Also gives them plenty on motivation to keep the international fixtures. My worry would be that they get themselves even further into debt chasing retention of those international games and end up very highly geared. But as I said I have no idea what their finances look like.

I was listening to a late night debate on debt in sport on five live a bit back. i'll be honest and say a lot went over my head but one finance expert said man utds £800m or so debt was a good debt and good business. all to do with their guaranteed income for the next few years

YCCC clearly do see their debt as a problem, hence their frequent requests for financial handouts (from public funds of course) to pay for their share of the redevelopment. The Sir Lord Darty-Farquhars of the Crooket (see what I did there?) world do not like dipping into their own extensive pockets.

They'll lose Test Cricket against Sri Lanka, Windies and NZ, a few ODI's and perish the thought... there might not be Leeds Northern T20 franchise when it comes to reorganising that shiyte on the basis of some yet-to-be-declared Inter-City bollox... boo hoo waaaahhhh.... sob

Personally I have no interest in Yorkshire cricket or cricket in general, all I see is a failing club with no support that is holding us back, said it before we should just knock down the dual stand and build a bigger all seat north stand and keep south stand all standing.

But Leeds RL only own one half of that stand

But our half is a lot bigger than theirs, if indeed, it is an exact half at all?

Knock our half down and I reckon their bit'll collapse. We can then rebuild the bit we need.

I should've been a property developer.

Perhaps when the stadium was sold to Yorkshire Cricket we should have retained ownership of the shared stand.
