Hide AdBird, the former Test match umpire and nominated by the club’s board to stand for a second term as President at the AGM this month, believes the new balcony will be a major addition to the facilities at Headingley.
“These lads have given me so much pleasure over the past 12 months with their magnificent performances in the Championship and I wanted to reward them for their efforts,” said the 81-year-old.
The balcony will be built above the sightscreen at the Kirkstall Lane end of the ground.
