This, although I would still build the new south stand as it's currently planned, part seating part standing. Planning for the future I can only see demand for seating increasing.

Billy talks quite a lot of sense, he just likes to disguise that fact with liberal dollops of Bull $h!t from time to time

He's apparently having to rely on friends and family to stay afloat according to that article. Diddums. Oddly enough had he not done what he has, he'd be on a nice regular income today.

LCC are too busy spunking away £30m on cycle paths that even cyclists don't like to use.

Care to provide evidence for that assertion of yours regarding the source of funding?

£30 m I find that hard to believe. Unless it's from here to Inverness

DfT funding wasn't it?

30 million smackers for cyclists!! Thought we were living in the age of austerity.

Nope just from Leeds to Bradford.

Yep, it was funded by the Government, not LCC. It's really badly designed too & resulted in longer journey times for cyclists.

The Tories all seem to bike everywhere, Borris, Cameron, they are all at it.

But they what they don't use is state schools or public healthcare.

So they chose the cycle lane over a couple of new schools or hospitals.

I had a meeting with the Highways Dept about three weeks ago on an unrelated matter. Apparently, the first phase from Bradford to the top of York Road has cost around £14m. The total planned network is anticipated to cost £30m but, as yet, no funding has been allocated for the follow on phases.
Somewhat bizarrely, the next phase will connect Leeds Bradford Airport to the City Centre. Given the luggage allowance on most flights these days, somehow I can't really see how that works. In any event, considering that most cyclist who live in Pudsey use the cycle path that already existed i.e. the canal towpath, rather than the new "Cycle Super Highway, you do have to wonder!

The talk in the media (on Fox NRL 24hr channel) is that it's a done deal. Hope we get a good amount.

why not, a cycle back pack is about all you can get through now a days. It just needs an area exclusive for cycle parking

£2 a time

There's a similar cycle highway here in Nottingham. It's a white elephant is mostly empty and I've heard of numerous cyclists being knocked off their bikes because drivers are unaware it's a cycle lane. It's a complete shambles.

I assume that the money came from some sort of eu grant

Good deal, if true? www.5thtackle.com/james-segeyaro ... pensation/

Good deal, if true? www.5thtackle.com/james-segeyaro ... pensation/

If true.

Hopefully it is and we can all move on.

Quote ="loiner81"Good deal, if true? www.5thtackle.com/james-segeyaro ... pensation/'" That is an absolute nothing piece - no quotes, no basis to any of he facts, and it says they've agreed the fee and it will be announced 'in the coming weeks'... Why would it take weeks if it's agreed? There's been plenty of talk in the media down under that a deal is close (though I'm led to believe the deal will be between Segeyaro and Leeds, rather than the Sharks and Leeds), this article just reads like a summary of those.

'undisclosed fee' incoming...

Yeah that's why I said "if true".

And "special relationship with Cronulla Sharks" to go with it, don't forget.

Ground breaking?
