Sadly Calderdale Council and Commercialism do not go in the same breath mate.
But maybe in the new world they may have to do?
We can only hope eh?

If Newcastle United can rename their ground then I don't see why it shouldn't be looked at, maybe something like the Oval or Headingley. The Lloyds Banking Group Shay.

Sorry for that one but you get the idea.

The Frijj Milk Shay-ke Stadium?

You can only have a stand sponsored if there is someone willing to sponsor it. I know back in the SST days they wrote to many local companies (which is where the Southdale Stand came from) but there was little other interest. Certainly worth trying again given the now complete East Stand and recent success of both clubs.

Heard a rumour on Tuesday night that the Council are going to turn the North Stand into an all seater stand. Rather than spend money re-fixing the loose concrete steps, they can instead have them taken out and then have seats installed. Supposedly this is a cheaper option (cant see it myself), but we shall see.

thinking about it and it would be cheaper just to have the temporary concrete blocks taken out, all this would do is leave a wider than normal terrace step for now and then can be used as terrace until fitting seats in the future.

But you would also have deeper steps so no chance of that.

Seating would be a good idea, at least it would n't just be concrete for us to look at all season and somewhere for Calland to sit.

true, they would be deeper steps. but easier to sit down on at half time.

Would lower the capacity of the ground somewhat putting seating in though i would assume?

probably not as the north stand has had its capacity cut several times already since built.

You'd still have to have your staircases in place at the same regularity as the current terracing - anyone know which bits are 'temporary'?

Only temporary and mainly due to there not being enough toilets per head.

Wouldn't it be easier to fix comodes in the North stand and kill two birds with one stone like ?

I'd like to see it sponsored by O2, just so the radio presenters could go live to the 'Oh Touche'
