jimsleftfoot Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hope this isn't how its going to be; Check out the side elevation, the roof extends further than the seats. http://planningpa.oldham.gov.uk/online-applications/files/AB09D50F5ADA2FF9BC558D6CD7E11D38/pdf/PA_333100_12-PROPOSED_ELEVATIONS_AND_SECTIONS-1466068.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling folk down here that they're all Southern softies, not like us roughty toughty (or rufty tufty) Northerners. Mind you, I have developed an aversion to getting wet.

oafcmetty Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Good to see us helping out a smaller club: http://www.rammyunited.co.uk/headlines/592-new-clubhouse-arrived-at-the-hwrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Good to see us helping out a smaller club: http://www.rammyunit...ved-at-the-hwrs I thought they would use it for the builders' canteen or something similar, it would save on renting a portakabin. Nice to see it being put to good use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Playershare is just short of 10k i believe (mike does accounting) LJ is excited about the scheme and will be letting it build up so he has a substantial amount to use and bring in a potential 'fans favourite' with it. He will also be attending our next meeting Scholes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c.hill12 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just seen an interview with brentfords chairman about their new stadium. They have revised the plans from 15000 to 20000 capacity. He said it showed lack of forsight and made no business sense to build the 15000 ground. Also spoke of the need to work on attracting supporters as the only averaged 6500 in a successful season. Over ambitious or correct decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footy68 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Over ambitious. Make the 15000 with the potential for expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics_Fanatic Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 If they can produce on the pitch, as they seemed to this season, then they'll be able to attract fans. A promotion would also help. Only way they'll fill a 20,000 though would be PL football or at big cup games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Depends how much it costs per extra seat. Even some of the bigger clubs at our level in recent times (and Brentford isn't exactly one of them) have struggled to average 20,000. So the only way they are going to fill it whilst at this level is if they get a big cup game or an absolutely vital league game, like their game with Donny. Get promoted though and with the numbers of London clubs in the Championship and the extra seats might well get used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over ambitious or correct decision? Correct decision. They will be able to make more money from off field activities with a larger stadium, and as interest rates are very low at the moment it makes sense to build the larger stadium. To expand at a later date will cost much more than building from scratch, and probably reduce capacity whilst they are doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamoafc Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 The only thing is you put an extra. 5000 seats in there and you have the issue mk dons Coventry have! It looked like there is nobody there and the atmosphere at the football is rubbish! Think we are doing it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 For a club hoping for promotion within the next couple of seasons it's probably the right decision, IF they have the finance in place. By the time it's built they could well be a settled Championship club. Or they could have come back down and end up with a big ground they can't fill or afford...

Over ambitious or correct decision? I think it makes more sense for them than us, the population is booming in London and there is plenty of money about. However, he's answered himself there, a need to work on attracting supporters = potentially not being able to fill out stadium = decent argument to build 15k plus opportunity to expand.
