Totally stupid idea. How do you expect the players to play with those obsticals? How stupid. The RFL wouldn't allow it anyway.

I'd also like to include a nice sunbathing area for the Dance Team, with some nice shrubbery nearby that could easily hide a person and a large amount of photographic equipment.

No decking?

Fair enough. We can deck one of the in goal areas, leaving the other as is, creating a lovely flow from one to the other.

You'd get arrested for rustling.

If it looks anything like the cricket field did - that will be fine

will it mean the ru team must play at another venue for next winter?

With the way it is sounding, I would think that this may happen.

Tykes/Carnegie or whatever they're called this year likely to be relegated so they won't attract the huge crowds they do now so they could play anywhere.

With the pitch turned into a building site it may improve the entertainment value and attract bigger crowds than the Union games.

I went into B and Q and said "I want decking" and the next thing the Sales Assistant punched me in the face!!

I thank you.

I think my mum and dads back lawn is available, may increase their attendances

I think I will stop articulating all my thoughts.

1st Stage - New Pitch
2nd Stage - Tell the Tykes to F off.

Job done.

I do hope someone recalls what happened when someone drove a mobile crane onto the pitch to finish off the Carnegie stand - maybe laying a new pitch AFTER the southstand is built would be a stonking idea rather than the other way around ?

just done that. had to drive over a big lawn to get to a job. we simply laid 8' x 4' ply sheets and drove over them. hardly marked the lawn.

shame nobody at leeds thought of that

I think there was an oil or diesel spillage that did the main damage, still visible after all this time, not tracks digging up the pitch. Though you would have thought that there would have been some protection laid down to prevent damage to the turf. Torrey Canyon would have made less of an impact. Or Exxon Valdez for our younger viewers.

Hydraulic fluid from a split pipe.

I went on holiday to Cornwall that year - building sandcastles was interesting

Any pond should be fairly shallow or Robbie Burrow may drown!

Why Don't we include Dannys conservatory for good measure?

I think they should get Danny in to lay a patio area could be a nice drinking area!
