M j M Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 You build three new stands, people complain they are "box stands" and the ground has lost its character. You retain boutique features like the Heritage Terrace with intact landmarks like the house in the corner and the place where Kallum Watkins took a mid game sh!t and they complain you've not modernised it. Can't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronicler of Chiswick Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 If Leigh really do go phut, I'm sure that the Crusaders and Wrexham Athletic Club could find somewhere to fit in an unwanted nice new main stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from posts on Cas' forum it would appear that nowt's happening because 1. winter's coming (can't build in winter apparently so not sure what's been going on in York!!) 2. Christmas is coming and there'll be too much traffic in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris22 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Great to see progress at York. Amazing how far they've come since their financial problems of around 2014/2015. Leeds is also looking good too. It looks significantly larger than the old layout of Headingley, yet if I recall correctly the capacity is decreasing? Leeds have consistently had the best crowds in Super League and now with more suitable facilities, hopefully they can grow further and start selling out regularly. Although I have to say, the West Stand looks incredibly out of place now in the stadium and is the only thing holding Leeds back from probably having the best stadium in the country.

It would. York have great potential if they can keep growing and is a famous, historic, university city. In many ways it is unique in RL terms in being a traditional club that is in a decent sized city and isn't hemmed in by other towns or cities which compete for RL fans. It would actually expand the footprint of Super League compared to many of the existing West Yorkshire teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Union have beautiful cities like Bath, Exeter, Gloucester, Worcester and Cornwall. Rugby League has Warrington and Castleford.....(I mean it with the greatest of respect). If York make Super League, the game would have a club in attractive tourist city that people would be excited to spend a weekend in, not just for the game.

The Leigh Sports Village and York Community Stadium will be a similar standard stadium, however i’d say York is an area that has more potential. For a start in terms of numbers, York has a 200,000 population compared to Leigh’s 50,000, on top of this York is a far more affluent area, the local people have got plenty of money to spend. 2019 is almost certainly going to be Toronto Wolfpack’s year for promotion. Bradford are building a strong squad, I expect their big promotion push will come in 2020. York could build up nicely and go for it in 2021. However this would take considerable investment, this is why I enquired about the owners ambitions. I can’t see Leigh ever making Super League again, the current owner has made a big mess financially and there is little interest from anyone in taking them over. Hopefully they can become a good mid table Championship side again in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
