Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Has the stadium been funded by the council ? I believe it’s owned by the council, York FC and York Knights both to play there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellsy4HullFC Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Extended for possible Super League licence in the future? I'm sure it will be extendable, but I think they're taking one step at a time at the moment! Let's not make this a thread about the possibility of licensing though.

Lowdesert Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Not sure the council funded the building in total,,,, I think it was Council funded as well as funding gained by York City. £44m plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Hall Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Has the stadium been funded by the council ? Mainly council funded with money from a shopping centre development next door plus about £2m from the Football Foundation and sale of Bootham Crescent. Total cost is about £40 million, massive cinema, leisure complex & NHS health centre type stuff in there. Can't wait to be in there now, it's gone on far too long, joint stadium for both clubs was first talked about in 2000 and that proposal not happening is what ended York Wasps effectively. This stadium project caused numerous problems for the Knights until we got a new owner, now relationships with the council and Football club seem to be really productive so it should be the best thing that's ever happened to RL in North Yorkshire. http://www.alldesignandprint.co.uk Printing & Graphic Design with Nationwide Service Programmes | Leaflets | Cards | Banners & Flags | Letterheads | Tickets | Magazines | Folders | Brand Identity plus much more Official Matchday Programme Print & Design Partner to York City Knights, Heworth ARLFC, York Acorn RLFC & Hunslet RLFC Official Player Sponsor of Marcus Stock for the 2020 Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Clothesoff Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Extended for possible Super League licence in the future? No, there’s no plans to bring back licensing, so any additional capacity will have nothing to do with a situation that has been completely made up.

Lowdesert Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Seasons not over, so who knows where York will end up. Averaging around 1900 and with luck can put 500 on that in the new stadium? Would be interesting to know what the projection is for attendances next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEANO Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thought the rugby club put money into Ryedale stadium therefore have invested something into the new ground as it’s built on the same footprint sometimes you have to take a step backwards to move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any standing? What's the score with regards to income for the RL club, is it based on a % of the investment in the stadium (disregarding the other parts of the complex), are York buying their share of the stadium or is it long term lease/rent? I just about remember my first visit to York/Clarence st, it was a mid week match, I was 9 and went with my mum IIRC, normally went to away matches with my auntie as she worked at the Boulevard BITD. York fans always seemed to be a nice bunch from what I remember but haven't been back since 1980 in the old Div1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthegasman Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 As a Swinton Lions fan I envy what is happening at York with the new stadium. Now I accept that we will never move back home to Swinton and accept that we will probably never again play within the boundaries of Salford City Council. I wish that neighbouring Trafford Council could do something similar to this say near the Trafford Centre if possible that Swinton Lions,or whatever they become as I am sure Manchester will be added into the name one day soon along with say Sale Sharks and another team perhaps.

Lowdesert Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Sorry I'm lost on this one! They are increasing capacity by 399? To accommodate Women’s Rugby League World Cup in 2021. More of an update on progress and adding to capacity. When posturing and desktop studies on other stadiums is ongoing, York have got the backing and are pushing forward. Gav Willo’s list of attendances show increases year on year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
