New building for shop, with cafe incorporated into it. Boards have gone up and they are starting straight away. The designs look really smart. Possibly bar area backing onto the fan zone but that bit is still at idea stage. They will shut the store in the Ridings as the rent is way too high and this is a much better option. Especially for game day. They may do a pop up shop in town depending on the need but I don't think they'll need to. This one looks amazing. Thought when it went up for sale that is was an opportunity not to turn down. ME also liked my cafe idea too. https://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=640824&start=2280#p19597961 Khlav Kalash wrote: Seen the shop on Doncaster Road is now for sale.

Noticed some Herres fencing has been put up adjacent to the Doncaster Road turnstyles. Anyone got an idea of what work is going on?

I saw a low loader carrying an excavator reversing through the main entrance this afternoon, so they are obviously digging something up

It would appear that a trench has to be dug around the full ground perimeter to accommodate the LED advertising. The fixings have to be "built in" as opposed to surface mounted as part of the IMG reqiurements. Possibly necessitating removal of part of the concrete terracing.

That would make sense.

You'd have thought if there was any major improvements being made, that it would have been announced that works were commencing

Looks good.
That bottom area needed the uplift.

Re: Ground Improvements : Fri Nov 08, 2024 6:13 pm  

Probably increase the capacity too
