never thought it right London got 2 tests in most series. to get 3 is disgraceful

They have two test matches now so no different. They wouldn't get 2 if their was only a 5 test series.

I never thought it right that both Lords & The Oval are guaranteed a test match each every summer. All grounds that meet the test ground standards should each get a equal share

couldn't agree more

Headingley seems to be the ground for when Asain countries such as Pakistan and Sri Lanka visit. The latter won't be too much of a money spinner compared to others. The introduction of this city based t20 competition is probably vital to the cricket side making a chunk of money.

From the rugby side I see the Union lot lost the first leg of their playoff last night and so look unlikely to gain promotion, that would've surely made the ground more money.

would have made lots from tv, sponsorship and the RFU but not on the gate

They make a packet on the corporate I heard.

yes I can imagine. that's where the rhinos make there money too

It's still at a relatively low level and has never come even close to covering the increased operating costs of being in the top flight. The presence or not of the union team is marginal to the stadium redevelopment. YCCC not being able to afford the rent costs of the redevelopment however... tricky.

When they gona announce where we are playing?!

From YEP Article " will lease them to a new joint-venture company owned by Yorkshire and Leeds Rugby for a period of 42 years. At the end of that time, ownership of the stands will revert to the joint-venture company."

42 years!

Club has confirmed we will be playing in a reduced capacity Headingley while SS is being redeveloped. I really think this is a bit of a mistake. What will be capacity? 12-13k? we had 18k for the Cas match last week! Do we really want 4-6k fans getting out of the habit of going to games for 2 years assuming the north stand will be done the year after.

You don't need a crystal ball to see the aggravation coming down the line with this scenario. Certainly if I was a south stand season member I would not be very happy.

We knew this move was coming but the apparent "fairest way to do this" coming out of the Club is confusing me a little.

Reading the article I'm confused by this...

"The availability in this area is based on positions available once we have accounted for all 2017 Carnegie Terrace Season Members" & "The availability in this area is based on positions available once we have accounted for all 2017 Western Terrace"

Are they saying they won't issue these passes until ALL ST Holders of the above stands are in place?!

Basically they need to know how many of the current Carnegie terrace + West stand terrace ST holders are keeping them for next year before offering them to current South Stand ST holders.

Cheers.

Looks like we're having to the Ground even earlier than usual then?!

Not very thought out this.

Yep. Certainly gona be abit of a nightmare. Gona be abit tastey having Leeds + the away fans in the Western too.

I hope to be home by September although I wouldn't mind seeing a last game in the ground before demolition starts. Wait for the away fans moaning about about " their away end" being invaded by southstanders . well it'll make a change from moaning about getting wet

Unless some Southstanders are into water sports.

Will be interesting to see how they manage this with the away fans. assuming it will be all ticket affairs now and how many they will allocate to the away teams as there will be a minimum they have to give in proportion to the capacity.

10%,give them all a hard hat and a shovel then put them in the southstand

issue complimentary umberellas to Leeds fans only

I am looking forward to see the artist impression of the features that the new stand may include , apparently there is going to be a Hall of fame /club museum and where will the John Holmes statue be situated etc
