From the pictures the currently open railway end will have a roof and the other 2 terraced stands would have new roofs. I don't think so. From those photos both sides are seated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) If redeveloping Wheldon Rd is the most realistic, fundable and achievable outcome, then go with it. No more pipe-dreams, unrealistic ambitions. Just focus on the redevelopment. At least we'll all know how to get to the ground. Edited April 15 by JohnM I'm interested in that drive, that rush to judgment, that is so prevalent in our society. We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning, and in the short term it's quite a satisfying thing to do, isn't it? J. K.

From those photos both sides are seated Again not the clearest of renders but if you look at ‘pitchside view 1’ and ‘pitchside view 2’ they both show the main stand as it’s intended to be. The terraced stand behind the sticks with the corporate boxes at the back is the railway end with a roof on. Now if you zoom in on ‘Wheldon Road - View 1) to what is the princess street stand (opposite the main stand), just under the roof you can see the princess street stand is still terracing.

fevtom Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Looks decent. Three neat standing sides and one main stand is the ideal for WR in my opinion. It’s a shame that the one seated stand can’t be something more unique but given the budget that’s understandable. Any indication what this would do to the capacity?

Archie Gordon Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I'm a fan of the asymmetrical, quirky and original re. stadiums. I love the suburban and country grounds in Australia. I hope the Western Terrace remains at Headingley. Does this Wheldon Road revamp take away some of the place's spirit? But a revamp is the right thing to do and great for Cas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, it's that time of year in football where clubs are told that they will - and they will be - relegated to the appropriate level if they don't right now address the reasons why their grounds failed the grading inspection. 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

That's the thing, rightly or wrongly Football have rules in place and enforce them. RL simply pick and choose and have gone backwards when it comes to enforcing any kind of minimum standards when it comes to its elite competition. If you aren't going to enforce it then just give up the pretence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a great deal and much more preferable for both clubs than some out of town nondescript development. I think they both wanted and expected to get new stadiums.
