You always get friction when things like this happen, it's for the greater good though.

Biggest worry has to be as others have pointed out, a few thousand fans are lost to the club by not being able to secure tickets for the next couple of seasons, the team also nose dives away from contention at the same time and these fans don't return upon completion of the stands.

You are probably correct in assuming a few thousand fans may drift away. I would think this number would be replaced with fans wanting to experience the novelty of the new south-stand facilities. One would assume they should be decent, bearing in mind the amount of money that's being spent.

It's a good move for the club, which will modernise the ground hugely. There will be some disruption, but realistically you can't do a project like that without disruption

The Emerald Headingley Stadium, erm not too bad I suppose when you consider some of the names given to grounds after sponsorship such as Saints' Totally Wicked Stadium.

Never heard of emerald group before today, recruitment business based in Basingstoke?

Would love to know how some organisations justify sponsorship deals. Sounds a bit random to sponsor headingley but then again I still don't know where to go if I need to get a hose mended.

Never quite got why Carnegie would pay out all that in sponsorships of challenge cup and headingley in the past.

But then I am a tight Yorkshireman

Can understand doing it with new grounds, for example Arsenal's new stadium has always been The Emirates and nothing else. Newcastle try and call their ground Sports Direct Arena and people did and always will call it St James' Park. Wakefield have had a few different names for Belle Vue recently but everyone still calls it Belle Vue, if they eventually do get a new ground that would be the right time to get naming rights.
