No point had been made though, just the usual cryptic chinese whispers of "there's a story, but I can't tell you the story" and some are getting sucked in because they're suckers for any type of gossip, even the type that offers no details.

Not much competition though - more the best of a poor bunch

Has more advantages than any other side in SL yet it cannot find sufficient funds to bring its place of business out of the stone age.

I can't understand why this is the case. Over the last 12 years or so, we've played in numerous finals and show piece games, all of which shouldn't have been budgeted for, so should be considered bonus money, if you will.

Where's all that extra revenue going?

Go to Leedsrugby and look at the coaching/conditioning set up - all that expertise to finish in the middle 8s and virtually zero quality coming through the academy!!

Don't forget that we were paying debts off for a while and even if the club made a £500k profit every year it would take 12 years to accumulate enough money to fund a new South Stand.

Leeds getting a new south stand is the financial equivalent of Tesco spending £32bn in one year on one project.

Then why are we doing it?! Most of the people who stand in the south stand are pretty happy to stay standing.
If you want to update it and maybe make it a bit safer (though I don't recall any injury incidents), then just add in more barriers and replace the rest of the stone steps with the metal ones.

I think we will look a bit stupid converting our stand to seats when football teams all over europe are going the other way and introducing safe standing.
Why? Because standing means a better atmosphere and our team plays better at home.

Even if it were to stay as standing it needs knocking down and rebuilding at some point. It's required lots of money spending on it recently just to keep it available for use and that will only get worse.
