Chaddyexile84 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 After selling out shirts it's not viable this season But can @adamoafcor any one else with an ear get us to go back to our old Premier league badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was worried what design they'd go for after seeing some ideas and the one that was similar to our premier league one (but looked like it had been drawn by a man using his mouth to do it on Microsoft paint) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue is the EFL/ FA have put a big push on clubs to upgrade their badges due to the old badges not being compatible with new digital ways of working. It maybe something which gets voted on by supporters at some point but the next season or so there are a lot more pressing matters which will be prioritised as you will be aware. Happy to raise it though as a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy b Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 21 hours ago, adamoafc said: Very unlikely that the fans bar will remain on the bottom floor. The plan is to put it on the top floor still. More likely for fans to spill out onto the kerb outside downstairs something the council and police probably wouldn’t look too kindly on I would think. This risk exists with any pub on a matchday in any town in the land. They seem to cope. It’s not as if any such spill out would be onto the public highway. Can’t see that the police would be particularly bothered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see that the police would be particularly bothered As I’ve said before the size isn’t expected to be big enough for demand so it wouldn't make sense if that’s the case. They may use this as a trial to see if it works though, would be foolish to rule it out without trying to make it work. Of course the police would be bothered it’s right outside the entrance to the football ground, nothing I don’t think the couldn’t be overcome but certainly not as straight forward as you make out.

underdog Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 From memory FLG plan in 2019 looked at relocation offices and OACT from Futherwood rd and putting them in the JR Stand. I think where the pop up fans bar is going to be. Was it not up for lease at £75k PA at one point too? So the JR stand/OEC/car park would be the new frontage and more welcoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many years of Barryism's can even sneak into the heads of his biggest detractors It would likely be just as straightforward as getting beer in the Chaddy End was after all those years of being told the council/police/whoever would never allow beer in the Chaddy End. Just as likely as the death trap Joe Royle Stand suddenly being safe and allowed to re-open. Cordoned off Avro/Mansfield style picnic tables & benches all along to just before the gym entrance. A few pot plants for decoration even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now the pot holes have been filled in Not everyone travels to the ground by car, have you ever tried walking all round the stadium from the Chaddy end, especially at night matches? because of the houses there is no designated footpath. And from the RRE you take your life in your hands negotiating the slippery slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, every single match, there's a path at the top of Clayton playing fields, and you don't need a car to use the main car park, just walk up Broadway?

It’s not as if any such spill out would be onto the public highway. Can’t see that the police would be particularly bothered I imagine people get more scared when planning around football clubs. Problem with the bottom floor of that stand would be away team coaches arriving and parking/disembarking straight across from the bar which could be a possible flashpoint. I don't think it would be too much of a problem but it doesn't take too much for chairs to be airborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
