    This is the planning application page. The plans are more general arrangement drawings rather than detailed drawings with elevations ,etc.

    What you need to do is click on the above address, then scroll down to, Level 00 general arrangement plan, and the following 01 and 02 general arrangement plans, then blow up on the drawing on those pages, it gives all the details about the new stadium, you have the ground floor of the main stand on one page and the upper floor on another page, its a bit tricky keeping the drawing centre page but well worth it.
    It gives all the info you require and more about the new stadium.

    Would like to say thanks to everyone who has posted picture updates. I've been at uni in sheffield so ive not been able to see the developments.
    The images from the council website look good too but i think it still should be an all seater stadium.
    I know, worse atmosphere etc but i think we need to get with the 21st century.

    Why? What is wrong with having a mix of seated and standing to allow fans to make the decision which they prefer? Surely thats the best way to keep everyone happy?

    And compared to what we have now I would say we will defiently be "getting with the 21st Century" won't we!

    What do you class as a big chunk of support? To me that sounds like several thousand and I very much doubt that.

    That's bollocks...... if that was true, then more people should also go to watch them while we're still at KR or whatever you wanna call the stadium.

    To use the poor facilities as an excuse for not going is wearing a little thin.....you're there to support your team

    The whole support is several thousand!! If only 200 stop going that at £18 a head and including only 5 cup/playoff matches is nearly £70,000 A decent players salary in other words, I would call that a big chunk.

    There are only 3 facts on this issue.

    1. All seater MAY bring in some new fans

    2. Only time will tell if new fans become die hards

    3. All seater WILL turn some dies hards away

    I am a customer, I want a product, that product is to watch Rugby League in an environment and in a way I wish, when that is removed then so is my custom.

    There is only one ground where you get problems not being able to stand and watch your team, that is Huddersfield, and that is also the place that most fans I know are not arsed about attending.

    We may lose 200 of the 'so called' die hards, but I reckon alot of people who don't go regularly will become regulars purely because we're playing in a good facility. I bet attendances go up in the new stadium.

    Eamonn mentioned at the shareholders meeting that details of standing /seating are yet to be finalised and there shouldbe consultation.

    A freedom of choice is clearly the way forward, and he and the board know that.

    But your risking numbers who WILL stay away hoping that some new supporters MIGHT become regulars.

    It won't be anyway, the plans already have the standing areas set behind the goals, that will do me.

    I just hate the fact that some people would think it is a good idea to remove choice.

    Leaving a choice of sitting or standing is certainly the best way forward really, a layout like Warrington have would in my opinion be the better choice as it gives people plenty of choice between sitting and standing and ends or side.

    I dont want to sit thanks.

    I used to watch football fairly regulary too until it went all seater and it was never the same experience for me.

    Im not sure I would go if I was forced to sit.
