Unpopular Headingley to benefit from redevelopment

Headingley has been voted the most unpopular Test venue in England. A poll on ECB.co.uk revealed that the Leeds venue was a distant sixth choice of people's favourite Test grounds, polling about 3% of the votes cast to date.

Fortunately the Yorkshire ground is the scene of a current £10m redevelopment project. The notorious Western Terrace is to be replaced with a new stand, and with improved seating and facilities planned it will, no doubt, soon prove to be more popular.

Surprisingly Lord's was not voted the favourite ground. Old Trafford narrowly proved to be more popular with Lord's second and Trent Bridge just behind.
