I learned a lot of new words thanks to those three :lol

If it was used for away supporters, it would give them a better match day experience, and it would increase the atmosphere at the games, as the crowd interaction and noise levels would be around the whole of the pitch.
Someone mentioned that the atmosphere could be reduced due to concentrations of the crowd being more dispersed ..... but that isn't the case at all the other 99% grounds that have 4 sides.
People who dismiss developing Bishop St. as being 'unnecessary', or a 'vanity project' fail to see how it would improve the match day experience for everyone (for the fans, the coaches and the players).

I think that was Trevor Christie.

I like it. Name random stuff too. The Frazer McLachlan toilet.

And in this toilet would we have the Keith Haslam Urinals with his face on? No one will ever miss!

Now that's a very good idea. Perhaps we could have some with Steve 'Fatty Arbuckle' Evans' face on for the younger fans to aim at. There are also a few opposition players who have riled the fans over the years who may also be included.
It would be interesting to watch which urinal the queues were forming at to judge who was most unpopular at the time. Perhaps Spartacus could run a book on it and get some of his 2-0 money back.

My eldest son has autism and while he has an interest in football he can't come watch because of the noise. We tried ear defenders but he doesn't like wearing them for too long.
Maybe build a row of boxes and one can be a quiet area where any fan with autism who needs to get away from the noise can still watch the game. AFC Bournemouth do a sensory pack which includes club branded noise cancelling headphones.
