Approximately 2 x your away support for your previous SL games in East Hull

Isn't the answer to Lord Smith's question "zero"? Hudgell said you were dismantling that stand straight after the derby. No need to go off topic to score a point or two.

Think your lot took a couple of seats home so its a start.

The thing down the side looks like boxes to me.... probably extra hospitality.... great stuff, it closes off that corner and will keep the atmopshere in.

whens the deveopment happening and is the east stand extension started yet?

East stand is held up by some disability issues surrounding the planning permission for the extension

any news yet on both the east stand and north stand?

Last update was a meet the CEO piece on hkrtv, a month ago. It's still there and you don't need to be signed up to watch it. [uIIRC[/u, there was some hint at an interdependency of the two projects (for planning reasons) - that one stalling delayed both, and something to do with electric supply, possibly. I might watch it back myself in a bit. It was a bit vague - again iirc.

yeh just watched it a few delays ect but hopefully both stands will be done and ready to go for the start of next season

No chance of the North stand being finished for next February.

All been well its more likely to be ready for the end of 2012 or start of 2013 season.

As from the steering group meeting between the fans and the chief exc last month. It were anounced that the east stand extension will not now be built due to the fact that were not selling out every week! Build it and they will come is my motto, shame they don't see it like that. Better news bout the north stand which is their priority is that they are only awaiting the council funding, then the building work will begin.

If they aren't extending the East stand anymore, can they reopen the toilets?

That's what the steering group is for. Any questions or complaints and they will be put to the board or chief exec. Got to say impo, that it's very fustrating when u hear
time limits put to the building works to the stadium, then that time comes and goes and nothing...... The club need to be even more pro-active with the fans than they are now. After all, without us there is no club.

Strange then that the reports are that although it is on hold it isn't binned off.
Waiting for funding you say?
Care to give us more info if you have it

id be very suprised if the east stand extension isnt done, its obviously the popular stand where majority of fans like to be and have no doubt it would sell out every week and even if it wasnt completley sold out it would still look good if you know what i mean with the majority of the stand full.
obviously the new north stand is vital going forward but thought the council funding was already there?
without improving and extending the capacity of the stadium then the club could struggle to stay in super league in a few years time

There be an ill wind blowing and as Hans Solo would say " I've got a bad feeling about this!"

Is the ERDF funding there, though? The Stand is costing £6m in total, £4m for the Business/Enterprise Centre, £2m for the Stand part. The arrangements were for the council to borrow £4m from Central Government and for ERDF to provide £2m. According to Andy Mowbray in February, a decision was due on the ERDF at the end of March, but according to the ERDF website, the plan was still at [uproposal[/u stage when adminstration of ERDF funding passed from Regional Development Agencies (in this case Yorkshire Forward) to the Department for Communities and Local Government on 1 July, rather than a funded project. Maybe their admin just isn't up to date.

I'm amazed that you can actually make sense of that, never mind comment on it.

Yorkshire Forward is dead and gone isn't it?

Yes, but the admin of ERDF is just in the hands of a different body now.

Jeez, these improvements appear to be taking as long as the great pyramids at Giza........

Hudge was supposed to be adding to our East Stand as well. That still hadn't arrived on Friday, either. What a tease he is

As just confirmed by your chairman, I understand.

2 things not clear, though. Andy Mowbray said funding be finalised in March, months before the transfer of administration from Yorkshire Forward. Also Hudgell citing planning issues today, yet the North was approved in full by the council at the end of last year:
