-- Recent Changes following Edit War To conclude the edit war, I have shortened the article and removed content that I deem not necessary to improve the balance of the article (following on from criticisms from anonymous above on style of article).

I have added references to back up nearly all statements.

Official comments from SMG reported in the press seem to eradicate the viewpoint that SMG will protect Manchester over Leeds.

I have offered a sentence outlining how some web forum users have concerns that Leeds Arena may lose out because of MEN being bigger(although this is a very very small few and inclusion may be subject to further debate.)

Another YEP article not referenced http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/news/SMG-boss-promises-Leeds-arena.4085865.jp also hints at strengths of Leeds over Manchester whilst explaining differences.

I concur with edits from incognito and sdeel on standing capacity, as there is no reasonably authentic evidence to suggest super-theatres have larger standing spaces nor is there evidence to suggest this will stop an arena being successful.

There is no factual evidence confirming what the Leeds Arena's standing capacity is. Any numbers are speculation.

There is no evidence to validate these claims on the arena as they are made by a user on a web forum. It seems wiki admins concur with this view following their removals earlier.

I hope the text is now more balanced and is agreeable to all to end this conflict. ---- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve Gough (talk • contribs) 15:15, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
