I'm quite surprised that you didnt make an offer for the 2 stands at Scarborough you could have put one at the end and fitted one between the Millward and the end.

Fev have bought them, it'll make PO Road a nice little ground.

Looks like Featherstone got a good deal out of it and good on them! Could have been an opportunity missed.

I like the look of them, and the seats were red and white! (those that were left!)

Is your ground improvements on hold then?

will be intresting to see fevs stadium once the new stands are put in and the pitch will be made 10 metres longer and the slope is going to be sorted and yeh suprised rovers dint go for 1 of the stands

No - The East Stand is being extended and work on the new North Stand is currently slated to begin in June, was the latest iirc.

With current developments, I'm not sure there is a pressing need, tbh.

There are fledgling plans for the South end apparently, but if crowds do grow enough to justify it I'm sure they'll be for something a bit shinier.

fair enough but looking at the stands they would be alot better then the golf stand as i presume that will be put to the south stand but thats still quite a bit away so most probeble right not to

I take it you've also asked on the Leeds board why they didn't want it to replace their away end?

Thanks for your concern but I think we'll be ok.

I dare say no one thought of the idea other than Fev - and well played to them. Good initiative shown and will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I suppose given the proposed LEP with the area and Scarborough I wonder if Rovers got offered any deal/info on it, but in any event that's all irrelevant now.

Given the nature and timings of our current ground developments, I pretty sure we couldn't handle anything like that project right now anyway.

-I know a Seadogs fan and they currently play in the same division as Hall Road Rangers. Sad
That's the way the 'chips' go sometimes ....

This is interesting!

It is very intereresting what can be picked up I agree.

Would need to go down the length of the pitch, but its a good way of keeping costs down I suppose.

TBH if it was modular you could just use the pieces you wanted to make it a replacement for the south end.

if seating cap on that stand is 3000 but has no seats, i reckon it will have a 4000 cap at least for standing..

wonder how much they are asking for it, because as another has said it will be a mechano build anyways, so it coul be made to fit the south end properly and would be a cheaper option than building from new.

although it would mean a rethink would have to be done for the scoreboard etc...

Oh, wash your mouth out STANDING, you cannot expect these new breed of RL fans to STAND, its the 21st century FFS.

i did not say that they would have to stand, that was just my guess as too its standing capacity because all that is mentioned in the advert is the seating capacity(no seats)

Give me standing any day, sitting is awful and generates crap atmosphere

Here! Here!



Now setting off for the East "STAND"

ditto (in 10 mins)

That I don't know what - we're saying the same thing, aren't we? I may well have missed the end March confirmation of ERDF funding, sorry.

East stand extension has started (i'm involved with the project) and the companies have been invited to tender for the North Stand up to now.
