Add two tiers above the South and West Stands, then maybe locate away fans in there, so there is no element of trouble inside the ground, abit like Millwall do at The New Den

I feel like I'm raining on parades here, but;

Would you have the public footpath running under the stands as a tunnel, with the back of the stands backing onto the roads, or would you scrap the footpaths entirely?

I say this as I'm almost certain that to build up, you have to build back

I'd actually like to see the club purchase the large block of land behind the Tarmac depot on Dallam Lane for car parking spaces. There is even space for access to this land from Bewsey Street.

Maybe give a 50% discount to season ticket holders on it

If i had my way from scratch this is how i'd do it


[uWest[/u- Away end, All Standing
[uNorth [/u- first 5 rows standing rest seating
[uNorth East =#FF0000New [/u- first 5 rows standing rest seating
[uEast [/u- Home end, All Standing
[uSouth East =#FF0000New[/u- Standing
[uSouth[/u- Half and half similar to Wilderspool, bottom half standing top half seats

It'd be unique to say the least

No thanks, I like being in the sun when it's out.
Fill all the corners in, make the south stand all seater plus hospitality boxes because it's too high as it is, make west including corners terraces and the new 'Home end'.
Away fans allocated blocks in south stand seated with the central blocks allocated for home ST holders and hospitality privilages etc.
That way, we get home fans behind both sticks, more corperate cash, away fans segregated and sat down AND the stadium will always look full on TV.
That's based on most of our fans prefering to be behind the sticks of course.

Speaking now about it...

Fill us in if you can 74, not able to listen to it

- He said they had a meeting this afternoon about it
- you have to plan a year ahead
- Might have it done for the end of the 2011 season
- The fans need to put pressure on him and fill it out so he has no choice

- Plans disscussed this afternoon were that; Fill in the corners, co-operate seats at the back of the South or take the roof off the North Stand and add another tier.

- He also said people have been in the shop asking about Season Tickets and when they're on Sale for next year and that he has had two phone calls over boxes in the North Stand but had to be rejected because they're full but they have been offered "tables"

The main message was: "Put the club under pressure then he has no choice!"

Why would anyone want the ground to be made all seater? Many people prefer to stand so we should have freedom of choice.

I could understand if the seating areas constantly sold out in rapid time forcing people who would prefer to sit into standing areas but as the South Stand is usually the first to sell out it would suggest that the opposite is actually the case.

My only problem with the HJ from day one is that I would prefer the West Stand to be a traditional home end. If it was up to me it would have been standing behind both sets of sticks - home and away ends - and seating down the sides. I accept that you can't please everyone all the time though, and I'm sure the club researched public opinion first, hence I stand in the West as I prefer standing behind the sticks. I'd prefer it to be more home fans than away in there but it's not the end of the world as it is now.

All seater though? No chance.

Thing is despite the back to back Wembley wins the marketing arm of the club has got to get busy. weve got to capture the fans that went to wembley that are probably football fans first and foremost or not even sports fans.
I overheard a guy in sainsbury's talking about going to wembley he said he was looking forward to going didnt understand it but will just keep looking at the scoreboard and will be happy if we are winning.

sounds stupid but what about an information leaflet describing the game in very simple terms and describe the players and how good they are their history and achievements...big up Matt King and Adrian Morley, these arent local celebs like stan the man... they are sporting celebrities, Morley and King would be more recognised in sydney than Gareth Barry Glen Johnson Mathew Upson and Phil Jagielka but many Wembley goers will be glued to that collection of $hit play mighty bulgaria tommorrow.

Got to get these fools converted first
