maddog Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 SC has said that the main stand is the next to be upgraded, and it badly needs it. When this is eventually done and the main stand is demolished, where do the changing rooms, treatment room and baths go? Where do the ticket office and club offices go? where do the dugouts, press areas, directors, announcer, club radio, announcer and police box go? Does an upgrade = demolition?

Rent A Cabins - unless he takes my advise and builds a new corner unit. He has quite rightly said the dilapidated Main Stand is the next upgrade, but not in what format. Will it still be the Main Stand? I don't know and I don't expect it is actually on the drawing board yet, it could be years. I'm sure the logistics of it all are cannon fodder for the experts, when you take into account a 3 month summer break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on SC's drawing board, he said recently that when completed it would bring the capacity up to 16,000. He has though said in the past that he may just refurbish it. How it pans out we'll have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we not refurb the upper section and build on to the sides of the original structure making it stretch the full length of the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I would think there are lots of options with the main stand - if the finance can be found. If Corney's got a 5,500 seat stand in mind he'll certainly be using the full length of the pitch to deliver it. I can only think the scheme would be viable if such a development is funded by NHS facilities being expanded into the structure. Staff flats in the corners on Furtherwood Road? I'm speculating wildly. If we can end up with two decent stands down the sides of the pitch within three years or so (without destroying the club financially) it would be a terrific achievement that would make me begin to think the Corney might even deserve his gold brick.

ghostofcecere Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Slightly off topic, but I've always thought the Chaddy could be upgraded by just putting a new cantilever roof on (loudspeaker shaped like the RRE to fix the acoustics), the concrete works still look pretty fine.

If you mean key-worker flats then that is a possibility, I doubt it will be "hospital accommodation" though as the NHS trend is for less hospital accommodation and more hospital office/clinical space.

The Trust I work for, and many other across NW England (and most likely UK-wide) are doing their damnedest to get rid of buildings entirely. Why would you need a desk? Or a computer? Or clinical space? Or places to keep your assessments and files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine the staff at Oldham Royal would be local or live close enough to commute.. Im aware I maybe 100% wrong on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simoncorneyisgod Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 As mentioned previously the next income stream for the club will be renting of land to the left of the RRE (as you look at it) for an already agreed deal with a national hotel chain......Think Big & Small (those with kids under 10 will know what I mean).

I'd imagine the staff at Oldham Royal would be local or live close enough to commute.. Im aware I maybe 100% wrong on this You'd be surprised, bearing in mind that shifts can make commuting difficult on public transport, and how often staff move around in the NHS, especially new graduates, it can prove necessary to have quite a bit of hospital accommodation, I do know of a few incidents where there hasn't been enough hospital accommodation to meet the demand.

I asked the question because I dont know, with regards to revenue and ffp I cant work out which income streams count towards our ability to improve the managers playing budget. Nothing sinister behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
