One often unappreciated aspect of what makes for a great stadium is the ability to circulate, and the use of communal areas. Many of the stadiums which are considered to have the best experience allow fans to circulate within the stadium (Suncorp, Allianz/SFS, Headingley - and Central Park in the past). It really contributes to the atmosphere of a stadium and I would argue it's the main reason why seated stadiums often feel so soulless (as evidence - look at Wembley which typically has quite a good atmosphere despite being all-seater - it's very easy to circulate under the stands).

Something similar to Boavista's home ground (28k capacity) would be great!!!

How long will it take you to pay back the £18M+interest (due to you using the £5M Hethrington says you have in the bank), 30 years? I know eventually it'll all be yours debt free but that is a wedge of borrowing seeing as your (well rather the Football, cricket and Athletic club which own Leeds Rhinos) posted a pre-tax profit of £371k (impressive in RL circles). Even with increased revenue with a new shiny money generating stand you're going to be paying back that loan for a very, very long time.
God knows how YCCC are going to fund their share, even with the championship winning money, ECB payments, International and domestic income they posted a £3000 surplus, the first for years and are still paying £700k/year in interest on outstanding debts. I know they need to have the improvements or they'll lose the internationals which would basically mean YCCC going under.

I hope it works out and your fans get what they deserve.

One of the best grounds I've watched RL in was Tynecastle in Edinburgh (Heart's ground) - London v Bradford on th road fixture. it's all-seater, but very steep, so you get a good view from above, but still close to the pitch. Not sure building regs would allow it now.

Imagine Wire's ground on a 65000 scale...

Like Manchester City's old Maine Road, Charlton Atheltics' and Chelsea's grounds way back when, the HJ or Leeds' ground - the big vocal standing terrace along the side of the pitch makes for the best kind of stadium

The posh stand on the opposite side

A normal seated terrace for home fans at one end

And the away section behind the other end

I like that big stand opposite the away end at Headingley. Terraced at the front with seats above. I've only been on that terrace once when we lost to Hull KR in the CC semi but if I was a Leeds fan I'd stand there every game. I've never liked our South Stand or theirs.
