This is interesting!

It is very intereresting what can be picked up I agree.

Would need to go down the length of the pitch, but its a good way of keeping costs down I suppose.

TBH if it was modular you could just use the pieces you wanted to make it a replacement for the south end.

if seating cap on that stand is 3000 but has no seats, i reckon it will have a 4000 cap at least for standing..

wonder how much they are asking for it, because as another has said it will be a mechano build anyways, so it coul be made to fit the south end properly and would be a cheaper option than building from new.

although it would mean a rethink would have to be done for the scoreboard etc...

Oh, wash your mouth out STANDING, you cannot expect these new breed of RL fans to STAND, its the 21st century FFS.

i did not say that they would have to stand, that was just my guess as too its standing capacity because all that is mentioned in the advert is the seating capacity(no seats)

Give me standing any day, sitting is awful and generates crap atmosphere

Here! Here!



Now setting off for the East "STAND"

ditto (in 10 mins)

Quite impressed that you don't know this, btw. I might try setting my television volume to an odd number that is not a multiple of five over the weekend, in solidarity. Edit - I like seats. Covered seats; with a cushion ideally. I'll even sit in number 17 or 29 if I have to... as long as I can have a prawn sandwich.

That I don't know what - we're saying the same thing, aren't we? I may well have missed the end March confirmation of ERDF funding, sorry.

East stand extension has started (i'm involved with the project) and the companies have been invited to tender for the North Stand up to now.

Any pics?

No mate, they have only cleared the ground in preperation.

I have, however, found out this morning that work has been suspended due to Hull KR not being granted planning permission yet. They started the groundwork hoping that it would be granted during this period, but it hasnt happened.

Oh joy.

Indeed, it's not as if it's come as a surprise that we're planning on building a new stand and I don't think you have to be that much of a construction expert to assume that if you're thinking of building a whopping big structure complete with crematorium chimney you might have to get permission to do so.

Well unless i'm reading it wrong [url=https://planningpublicaccess.hullcc.gov.uk/publicaccess/propertyDetails.do?activeTab=relatedCases&keyVal=002K3F00LI000this[/url says otherwise.

Found some nifty pics of the proposed north stand to cheer us up...

Two chimneys! they seem to be for the floodlights.

Oh, ffs. They need to build it horizontally, not vertically, otherwise all the people will just fall in a big lump at the bottom.

They seem to be old ones Roverswall?

Wonder if planning permission has ran out (they do have time limits)?

It's in there as an approved minor amendment to an existing application - adding a door and 3 windows. Unless there has been another amendment to make since, but I can't see anything.

I belive they have a 3 year limit.
June 08 would still mean they are valid as the works have already started.

Edit that is infact correct.

2) The development hereby permitted shall be begun within three years of the date of this permission (to comply with the provisions of Section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004).
So we have until 27 June 2011
