I know we've been through this a few times but plans are afoot to start construction on the new south stand at the end of next year.
It's going to be a single span terrace and not like the Carnegie as been mooted previously.


No link,just reliable info from one of the directors who's kids go to to school with my lad.

Just an updated version of the original then??
That's fair enough given the current economic climate,i would've liked a bigger carnegie version though but not to worry as long as it's done and does what it says on the tin.

That's exactly what I was told.Better facilities and a few more corporate boxes but that's it.

Cheers for the info fella.

Let's just hope we dont need any government money eh!

Will they keep the spiral staircase?

We're screwed if we do!!

We'll be alright as long as Sheffiled haven't got a new stand. We don't want to ake any business from them, do we?

Could it be possible that their could be a promised windfall to help pay for the stand?

Don't worry GH will have the prospective sponsor purchasing the naming rights to the stand lined up well before the building works have even been drawn up, oh and Caddick will build it

I reckon Leeds Building Society will want to sponsor it. But then again if that was to happen, I think Met Carnegie will have a few things to say about it. They will want to stay main sponsors and this could look like LBS are encroaching on their turf.

I dont know if this has been said before but..............................








BELIEVE IN THE SLEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do mate

The Rhinos will still be able to sell the naming rights of the new stand, to any prospective buyers, regardless of the fact that Carnegie have the naming rights to the stadium

not up on this sort of thing,but when would they have to apply for planning permission for the project to start in one years time?

Planning permission was appiled for some time ago.

As long as the stand has John Holmes name attached to it i dont give a monkeys.

oh thankyou

and the builder pay's for a statue of the great man to stand outside

Im sure if a whip round was needed we would all dip into our pockets to honor the big man.

sure would

Indeed. I won't let you down

They need to do the old 'sponsor a brick' thing. I'd love to have a couple with my name on in the new stand.

Good idea!!

Just as long as they dont try to make Holmesy face out of 'em like they've done with Brian Bevan at the Helliwell Jones.That looks pants IMO.

They could follow the Man utd model - during construction of one of their stands (the big north stand I think) a couple of construction workers died and the families asked to have some sort of memorial plague...Man Utd said it wouldn't be appropriate to have a permanent memorial then proceeded to launch a pay to have your name on a brick scheme

Great idea!! I would deffo have a couple.
