All very good but when will the club provide a cover for the away fans ?

Unlikely.
But away fans can go in any of the other 3 stands that are covered.

That would reduce the opportunity for moaning therefore do away with one of the main reasons away fans turn up.

Theyve coped for 128 years. I wouldnt hold your breath.

Hopefully it will be used for beer festival and live music on matchdays, a la Toronto Wolfpack

You do realise quite a few Leeds fans stand in the West stand at every home game,doesn't seem to bother them.Must have better coats in Leeds.

Its rumoured that once Leeds or should I say Caddick Construction acquire the remaining houses at the back of the West Stand, that this too will be developed in the future.

That street The Turnways I think it is is part of the architectural heritage of Headingley .You watch all local conservationists come i. With objections if the stadium encroaches onto the street . Although a good Architect could make it look acceptable

Leave the Western Terrace as it is, it’s nice to have part of the original stadium still standing. People can choose to go in the West Stand, or one of the other three stands.

And the way that people go on about it you'd think that the Super League season was played in some sort of typhoon season.

How many games does it actually get even a bit wet during the season?

Only decent wash some of the away lot get during the season (mentioning none in particular)

You may find that at least 2 of those homes behind the West Stand part of the ground are now rentals owned possibly by someone called Caddick or Hetherington

Planning permission is the obstical though

Does the land registry support that assertion?

Someone on the TRL forums reckons to have checked the Land Registry for properties on The Turnings and claims that there is no obvious link to Caddick or the club.

Yes. He seems to have quite a grasp on the stadium redevelopment

No economic impetus for development of the west terrace as far as I can see. Selling the current covered capacity will be a challenge while each and every one of those house owners can effectively hold the club to ransom. Don't think there's a cat in hell's chance of it happening tbh.

Nearest you would get is a smaller "cantilever" type stand, even then, when you factor in cost,actual gain and inconvenience to the rest of the stadium while being built.

Other than that it is possible to add a "temporary" style roof a la Harlequins at the stoop but that's like putting a sticking plaster on leg break. ATEOTD people just love a moan, we have open terracing in many of the away ends we have been to and if Im really honest, they just add a little something to an away day. The "Thunder n lightning" game at Cas, peeing it down stood with about 20 other nutters was an absolute highlight of mine watching Leeds.

as you and others say, very little point in doing anything with western terrace unless a fulls scale redevelopment mirroring the south stand or Carnegie stand is possible. it only occasionally rains on match days and depending were you stand sit in the other stands you do get wet in those as well. Croke Park Dublin Europe 3rd biggest stadium, still has an open uncovered terrace at one end and they don't seem to mind.

Look at all those NFL stadiums have massive open areas . This criticism of the western terrace from fans of othe clubs is out of jealousy

Indeed. I almost drowned at (the $1bn) MetLife Stadium a few years ago.

most american stadiums have no roofs, the ones that do and the domed ones are to keep the heat /sun/ humidity out, like the superdome or the Arizona stadium.

One of the floodlights has gone. 3 to go.

I'm working on yorks new ground. going to be a really nice small ground

It’d be good if York can one day get into Super League.
Great place to go for an away game.
