Do a nice smart terrace, with an integrated TV gantry a and score board. Improve capacity by circa 2500 and improve the atmosphere and the look of the ground. Maybe even integrate the lawn mower garage by the side of the QLE.

Final point - we don't.lnow what the CapEx is so all the talk about what is and isn't VfM is guesswork. Point that no one can argue is we're growing and progressing. So we need the room to expand into. You don't wait to reach capacity then respond, you anticipate, predict and prepare.

I have said this many times before, but here goes again. If we do this then we are investing money to reduce matchday income. Yes there will be the occasional sellout, but for the rest of the fixtures how many fans will go with the cheaper option of standing rather than the existing seated areas ? Let's say 500 people at £5 less each so we are down £2,500 per match, the best part of £60k per season just on league games. That is going to take 3 or 4 sellout games per season just to cover that loss, and that is without taking into account any matchday costs of opening the additional stand - stewards, kiosk staff, etc.
John Radford is a very succesful businessman. David Sharpe is doing a fantastic job as CEO. I am sure they have been having these discussions and will have certain criteria in mind that will trigger the need for the development of Bishop Street.


Agreed, the urgency seems to come from it looking awful rather than the inherent need for it other than the odd game

If you bring over 1000 just before christmas notts police will have about 200 on duty, horses helicopters and probably several tanks in reserve.


You forgot the gate, no booze, 9am kick off and the dogs



Yeah no doubt there will be a big po po presence for that game, we didn't have many problems last season the new owners are really trying to improve the reputation of the club and so far it's working (we were mostly winning though which helped) so hopefully next season is more of the same and gradually we are treated more like humans less like wild animals.

Yeah you’ll be treated like animals here, our police are an absolute joke. I’d put good money on it being an early kick off as well.

Pretty much, there isn’t any need to do anything with it at present and we should focus on promotion first.

Do you think the same when fans ask to sign players,yes I do, JR wants the club self sustainable, so do I. or when JR bought the Mill,an absolute necessity or we had no chance of promotion and therefore no future. or when he built RH? Built with profits of a separate housing company set up by JR and SH and once again an absolute necessity for progression Are fans only allowed to discuss things they themselves will pay for? Are Man U fans going to pay for the redevelopment of OT? Are Everton fans paying for their new ground? Are Villa fans paying for their new stand? Weren't you asking for a new ticketing system? Did you pay for it? For all of these the answer is yes, for my few quid a month is part of the £100m plus per year they get from Sky It's a poor argument,talking of poor arguments the “ I have the right to tell others how to spend their money” is the poorest. fans are clearly entitled to an opinion on how to improve our club, be it on or off the field.

To be fair, neither game against Grimsby last time we played them (with crowds) were 1pm kick offs.

Getting ahead of the game to trial wireless car charging, a bit like wireless phone chargers, for all them electric vehicles that are soon becoming the 'norm'. Just rock up, park on the solar panel, and off we go with charging ;) :lol:

It is one of the flaws, however for the duration the car isn't parked there, it'll be sat building up a power bank to charge when needed, for the few sunny days of the year we get anyway :lol:

Correct but they are next gen and are called Lunar Panels
