Temporary traffic regulation order to make road one way, with occasional closures during off season. Main thing is to consult residents and get them on board. Precedent is established for Planning if stand remains same height just needs to run full length of pitch. Facade may need to be clad in similar brick to existing but all is feasible. Include office space and lease to hospital to generate income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way traffic doesn't solve the issue of a crane in the road with a rather large turning circle and the necessity of an exclusion zone. The whole street would need to be closed Edit - apologies seen you mention closures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could demolish the stand brick by brick and sell them as souvenirs to grateful supporters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitts Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 A tidy up, lick of paint, new bulbs in floodlights and more importantly a big clear out of the old regime before new stands for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickjagger Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I am sure the fan base would rally round have a few volunteer days amazing what a lick of paint & TLC can achieve for minimal cost. Name the day im there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something despite my asking sevral times last season they couldn't be bothered doing. Had to turf a bloke out once and led to an awkward scene. Like to think that wouldn't even feature in big Dave Og's top 50 priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we must have plenty of people who are fans of the club who are tradesmen who could really help do little bits of work here and there that would really improve Boundary Park maybe if we can get them to do it at mates rates if you like.

Peak Latic Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 The facilities in the Main Stand must get completely sorted out. If it isn't worthwhile then shut the stand immediately. How the Main Stand passed any form of safety inspection last season is crazy. After that the club just needs to look like it's loved again on and off the field. Things like the side panelling of the Chaddy and RRE, seats with season ticket stickers on them, floodlights fully operating and being able to walk round the ground without falling into a pothole or down a slippery banking.

It's a very ordinary plain building of no architectural significance and it's a slum. It should be razed to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLegend Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Find it amazing how many mentions of stickers on the seats of season ticket holders there's been in a few days of talking about priorities for the new owner.

L1onheartNew Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Ensure live games are a watchable option for overseas dyed in the wools such as myself. Similar to i-Follow, but not i-Follow and sans heavy touch Mikey and deary me Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never change, Latics fans. Yet another high horse moaner. The point is Its endemic of how the club was run and how simple things can can be remedied by a new regime to bring back the feel good factor at the stadium. As I pointed out there was an ugly incident when one inebriated person to refused to leave a season ticket holders seat as he insisted it was unreserved with no sticker on it. Easy to avoid with the will to listen to fans. It wasn't just one seat it was half the stand without them or half torn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Mikey was decent his only weakness was that he almost sounded like he was on helium if we merely crossed in to the opposition half, I'll miss the IFollow coverage and will now have to trek to the likes of Yeovil and Southend to see us that I've already been to and could ordinarily watch at home. Roy is Roy and has the distinction of being one of the only employees to see it out of the other side with the Lemsagams in charge, can think of Dean and Sue as well as Wendy Noble at the Community Trust but there can't be that many others. Blokes knocking on and deserves a little bit more respect in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
