Although a few ST-holders probably wouldn’t be pleased and would need moving. In an ideal world rail seated areas should be looked at as a way to create a better atmosphere, but until then we should probably concentrate on getting hand towels and soap in the bogs. now and again I ask myself what I would do at latics if I won an obsence amount of money on the euro millions and that's pretty much how I'd redeveloped the main stand, I'd remove the portacabin bar and extend the stand so it ran the full length of the pitch upper would be seated and the lower would be a rail seat/ safe standing paddock.. the concourse would be accessible by both upper and lower with plenty of kiosks to make sure everyone is very well lubricated I'd also want to keep the changing rooms, tunnel and dugout where they are but bring it up them up to scratch.. I like the idea of drawing a bigger team in the cup and them coming out of the tunnel inbetween two paddocks full of beer monsters singing along to "we are the boys in blue" and "mouldy old dough" We've obviously strayed away from the cheap fix list this post was intended for but the car park is a compensation claim waiting to happen its needs fixing before someone gets hurt.

If I won the lottery I would buy the club and build a new stadium nearer to my house in Rochdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 This thread reminds me of the spoof headline after the tremors caused by the fracking operations on the Fylde: Earthquake near Blackpool causes millions of pounds worth of improvements'...

There is one, but it is in as much disrepair as the way round the back of the RRE, but is a bit flatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 People talk about the mud slope at the RRE end and now the bad state of access between the Chaddy and JR stand. The club isn't responsible for this, it's Blitz who owns it and he won't spend the money on what to him are minor issues, which won't benefit him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are required to have a SLO, I think by the FA, but UEFA have it in their charter too. We may not officially have one but someone will need to be acting in that role.

Its not exactly served us well in the past has it? the previous 4 incumbents all used it to feather their own nests to varying degrees and all ended up well and truly in bed with the club the current trust aren’t like that and the club know it and know they hate the owner and his cronies so they’d only be even more secretive and distant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
