East Stand : Thu Apr 23, 2009 10:44 am  

Just a bump to this website http://www.calderdale.gov.uk/leisure/venues/shay/index.html as I for one forgot it was there. Didn't realise it had monthly updates on it either, not to mention ShayCam!

I didn't either. The updates are good.

Can't wait for the update: Opening of the East stand.

I've learnt a new word from it as well!

Vomitory (or vomitorium) - a passageway in an ancient Roman amphitheatre that connects an outside entrance to a tier of seats.

No prizes for guessing what I thought it was.

Does that mean we have seen the end of hotdogs and hamburgers and they will be replaced by strolling vendors shouting "Lark's tongues. Wolf nipple chips, get 'em while they're hot".

Just out of question. Does anyone know the expected finish date of the stand? I know it says October 2009 but it would be great if we could get a play off game in it.

And

Does anyone know the capacity of the stand. With the big amount cut out it doesnt look as though it will hold as many as the Skirtcoat stand.

3500

Think it might just be big enough

If they go ahead, later, and close the Skirtcoat stand for re-furbishment, which is likely to then take 8 years, will the ground be big enough when we are playing Leeds / Bradford / St Helens at home in 2012?

December 2009 if all goes to plan
February 2010 if they find an unexploded WWII bomb
April 2012 if they find the remains of Robin Hood and student Archeologists take over the site.

will the skircoat become really unpopular?????????
