I'm not sure anyone should care how it's funded - and Indoubt anyone has enough info on the agreement to make an informed judgement anyway.

What we do know is that the group of people running our club have shown outstanding leadership of this organisation and dragged it from deaths door to being THE most successful rugby league club on the country both on and off the field by some distance.

However they have chosen to fund the stand, I have absolutely no worries and am confident they will have made the best decision for the club.

As long as the on field performances aren't impacted by it, and fans aren't forced to pay through the nose for it, nobody should really give a hoot.

Get off your high horse. Some people do care.

I wasnt in any way criticising the deal,i said i havnt got a clue about things of this nature,theres every chance GH could of played another blinder with the deal,which id be pleased to hear about and want to know about.

Im well aware of the great things the current management have done for the club,iv posted in the thread about GH that he's the best thing thats ever happened to the club imo.

Calm down princess, it wasn't a dig at you (or anyone else for that matter).

Just saying I don't think elements of how the club are run like this are something fans should worry about, providing on field performances or admissions prices aren't impacted.

the two stands getting replaced were built in the early 30s making them over 80 years old and its going to take more than 40 years to pay off under the official arrangement. So I presume by that time they be past their sell by date

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Sun Oct 22, 2017 11:25 am  

40 years is not the same as 80 years, it’s half the time, so if you were to presume anything from that, you’d surely presume the stand was halfway through its life.

Im perfectly calm...Calm enough i dont need to call you princess,sugar,honey or any other embarrassing alpha male rubbish.

If you're not worried about it thats fair enough,im not worried about it either,like you,iv got every confidence in the management,but i am interested in it,as a lot of other people seem to be. Thats why i posted asking people who are clearly interested and know more about it than me, how the deal looks for the club. If you dont know or dont give a hoot,why bother taking your time to question why others do? You must of expected that in a thread titled 'stadium redevelopment' that there would be posts in it about the fiancing of the development.

It could be argued that what i asked regarding the quality of the deal for the club...Is it good,bad or risky?could very well impact the only 2 things your interested in...onfield success and admissin prices.

I just hope they can get the new South Stand up ASAP TBH; the last two home games of last season were intolerable with the Western Terrace full of racist, retarded know-nowts with their sh*tty baseball caps covered in sh*tty pin badges. What is all that about anyway? Is it like the stars the McDonalds workers get, the more badges you have on your hat the bigger fekwitt you are?

...and that fekkin' band...!!!!

Count yourself lucky.

We got stuck next to some absolute whoppers in the CT.

The basic structure of the deal as outlined was -
1. L&G take a 140 year lease of the joint stand land from Leeds and provide the cash for redevelopment
2. Leeds City Council sublet the completed stand from L&G for 40 (or 45) years which provides L&G their return
3. Leeds and YCCC take further sub-leases of the stand from LCC at a rate which in turn provides LCC with a return
4. After 40 years the subleases from L&G to LCC and from LCC to YCCC and Leeds come to an end. At that point YCCC/Leeds have the option to acquire the 140 year long headlease back for a peppercorn.

That’s good to know. I didn’t really like the idea of us renting/leasing the new stands, but if we can take over ownership after 40 years it isn’t really any different to borrowing the money to build them.

nothing against them ,but When in recent years I have ventured in the SS I realized they are not the same type of southstanders that used to stand in there

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Thu Oct 26, 2017 8:31 am  

Talking of Stadium redevelopment, looks very much like yet another false dawn down the A61. How long have Wakey been moving or now more latterly, been tarting up Belle Vue. Both them and Cas have been farting about for well over a decade, releasing artist impressions of how their new stadiums will look. They’ll both be still in situ at their resident $hit holes this time in 10 years at this rate.
The only club in the Wakefield MDC area that have made any kind of progress are plucky little Fev.
Why they don’t build a joint shared community stadium for the pair of them is completely beyond me.

Re: Stadium Redevelopment : Thu Oct 26, 2017 9:41 am  

Leeds have been farting around for 18 years releasing artists impressions. it's only finally happening now because at last the two clubs managed to get their finances together. These things are terrifically difficult, especially when the local council isn't interested in putting funding in direct.
