A few interesting things....

I don’t read the forum much or post much. I did used to post on BladesMad.

Anyway I’m not sure if this is general knowledge are not but I know somebody high up in the club and he told me two bits of info last night.

1) One of the middle stands is being made into two tiers. Plans are already underway.Can’t remember which one he said.

2) The Saudi Prince is going to be heavily involved going forward.

Not sure if this is already known but just sharing what I hear.

Top ride, but not as good as Shiekra or the Stratosphere.

So they’ve reconciled have they?

 

[Harry's Game]

Singing Section?

It's about time we had a new, new south stand.

Probably be an interim second tier until ownership is resolved......

Prestonblade5 I've given you a like not so much for the information but for your humble approach.

 

[Lmaobob]

i'm sure we'd be able to see construction work from outside the ground if that's the case but i walk past the ground everyday after work and i see none. either that or i'm stevie wonder

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Woodwardfan Stand?

With a safe flouncing section.

 

[COME BACK CHED]

South stand is ok as it is , mess about with the John street stand if they must . and have the clock in the middle like it should be .

 

[McGrath]

I suggest knocking down the South stand and building a cricket pavilion further back extending the pitch so that it can incorporate cricket in the summer

 

[Chali 2na]

Woodwardfan Stand?

Is that instead of the statue, or are we having both?

Sounds about right given United's reputation for spending peanuts.

Oh sorry, thought you said M&M's!

 

[Davalon]

A quality stand for quality fans.

The South stand development actually taking place I find actually somewhat arousing, as I never expected owt to happen in my lifetime. We seem to renew planning permission every couple of years for what seems like forever

The heavy involvement from the Prince, I'm not so sure about as it depends in what capacity. if by heavy involvement this actually means turning at games with a scarf, rattle and wearing a blades Snook in winter then fine. If it means sticking his nose into CW's business with the help of Van Wynkel then of course no.

Without being in-the-know on this at all, I wonder whether part of the resolution on this between the owners has been cold feet from their rumoured extra investors (if there are any). Might both have looked at the situation and decided they don’t really have the resources to enable them to by the other out without it seriously limiting what funding would be available for the first team?

Also, noticeable that a day or two after our announcement the 49ers (the NFL team the Prince supports) announce a tie-in with Leeds. I wonder if his people had been in discussions with them also...

Don’t think anything has changed from the last quote from the club.

The last info regards the start time of the new South stand was, all the planning is in place
And work would start immediately after gaining promotion back to the PL and staying up 1 season.

So we do seriously intend to extend the South stand.
However it could be 5 years, 10 years, 30 years away when work starts.
One would expect a club the size of SU to be back in the PL sooner rather than later though.

I hope we do get this renovation but as has been said ive seen so many drafts that are unfulfilled

Ive heard if we do that there will be a curse on the blades for ever.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Until we're selling out every other week and there's a season ticket waiting list, I'd much rather we spent the money on players...

Doing anything to the South Stand before we remove those fucking pillars from the Kop would be absolutely infuriating. The South Stand is at worst an average stand. The Kop has issues that need addressing asap.
