Leeds Rhinos have today unveiled ambitious £10 million proposals to transform their Headingley Carnegie home ground over the coming years.

Chief Executive Gary Hetherington insists he will not jeopardise the clubs future to fund the development. Instead the club has taken the decision to reveal the projected costs and set up memberships schemes so supporters can see directly how they can help transform one of the most iconic stadiums in world rugby.

Plans include a new scoreboard video screen; A new South Stand with bars and catering facilities; A new pitch and drainage system and improved facilities in the North Stand.

The full story can also be found here. I covered part of the proposals here back in March.
