cant wait for it to be all finished and the western terrace still open

Seats have started coming out of the rugby side of the north Stand. South Stand fully demolished now and rubble all be removed by end of the week.

AFAIK the only ones they've removed are the ones which will be underneath the temporary TV gantry which will be located in the same place as it was for the Hull TV game in the N Stand. I'd have thought it would be easier to put a bit of scaffolding up on the S Stand side but it might still be covered in rubble at the time Sky start setting up.

won't take long to shift the rubble. decent size machine will do it in a day. you could even drag it into a heap to get a scaffold in. no big deal

did anyone get a piece of the spiral staircase !

Phil Clarke's had it installed in his house so that his missus can call him rude names when he goes up to bed.

Aaaahh the spiral stairecase,just loved in when Stephenson was going up it all the stick he used to get.Can you just emagine if rat boy was doing his commentating the stick he would get going up

I took this earlier today, circa 11am. The old girl has nearly completely disappeared.

RIP

I just looks wrong.

Friday is going to be weird. Remember when they levelled the old score board end? Every time I emerged from the stairs onto the Southstand, it was just bizarre seeing nothing there.

Friday will be like that times ten.

Totally agree. We will be sat in the current North Stand for the last time and instead of looking across at the hoards of Leeds faithful in the South Stand, we'll be looking into the front rooms of the houses opposite



Feels like the end of an era.

Absolutely. It will be interesting to see it in 3/4 weeks when you imagine the North Stand will be down too leaving only the old Western Terrace and Carnegie Stand - the flanks entirely flattened, or very premature construction work on the South Stand.

You are most correct in what you say of it being the end of an era.

Not before time - a relic of an era when sub standard was the norm sadly it took GH 20 years to do something constructive and move to the 21st century

When's the new south stand due for completion June/july?

Doubt it will ready for the 2018 season which is a shame as the drawings look stunning

I believe the majority of the metal work and most of the standing area will be finished for the start for the season with the 2000 season tickets been given for south Stand.

I'll take that bet

Yep GH will go down in Leeds history as having overseen a period of negativity, acceptance of low standards and stagnation - if only we could go back to the heady days of 1996



In fact, the club's still not adequately replaced Phil Hassan

We are discussing the stadium. The North stand still has wooden seats that have been in situ since the 1930s how do you consider that not stagnation?

I'm really looking forward to see it all finished and what added features it will contain

Rather than sort out the clubs financial woes and assist create a Championship winning side, GH should have replaced the North Stand seats as soon as he entered HQ........

Hopefully the south stand bar area has the game on Telly's. Sky games + non sky games.

And we play in a sport where most teams own their own modern gleaming stadia...oh

Other clubs with the sort of fanancial issues GH inherited at Leeds don't even have their own grounds anymore (ask Wigan how it feels when athletic tell em they can't play games in certain dates etc...)

Do you not remember the financial crash, in 2008 that pretty much bout a spanner in the continuing development works, that started with the Carnegie stand,the stadium work would have been done 6-7 years ago, but money has to come from somewhere.
It's long over due but it's being done, all all the better for it. The club is the syringes it's ever been on and off the field, and we have GH to thank for that.
Still clubs like Cas wakey keep coming up with these pie in the sky stadiums that simply never happen.
