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.

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

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 proposal 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.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
