Not long after getting in the ground my partner and myself got chatting to Fev fan. He was, quite rightly in my opinion, very proud of their stadium. He spent a while giving us the run-down on changes they'd made.
I know that as a Hull fan I'm quite lucky to get to go to a fairly nice stadium to watch our home matches. However, as a kid I spent more time than I can remember running around the Boulevard with my brother while "my old man" was standing on the same spot, on the same step, in the threepenny stand. Freezing cold, soaking wet, happy days. Now we've got nice seats, a roof that doesn't leak, clean toilets (actual toilets, not the back of the stand), along with decent access to food and beer. The only thing that's missing is a bloody atmosphere.
I, along with quite a few other I know, thoroughly enjoy the games at your place. Good old fashioned rugby. It's good to be close and feel involved rather than be a distant spectator.
The grass isn't always greener.
On that note, good luck for next year. I get the feeling you're going to go a lot better this time round.'"

I’m a huge Rolling Stones and for me you can stuff the rest. www.dewsburyrams.co.uk/commercial/advertising for style of terrace (maybe a bit deeper) can be purchased pre-cast.
5: Remove the flats and put temporary seating behind the sticks from March to September. Leave the existing club house but make it purely for team use i.e. move the gym etc into it. www.tieredseatinghire.com/outdoo ... ating.html
This could all be done in manageable chunks over a long period with much of it done by volunteers who I feel may be more plentiful than we think. All people really want is an actual plan with an end result to get them motivated it when people have to imagine about maybe’s that they lose heart.
I know my argument could be ripped to shreds compared to the opportunities at NM but it’s how I feel.

| What, the land we will all be kicking ourselves about in a few years time saying; "I wish we'd had some money when that was up for sale. We could have built training facilities and new offices on there." That land?

The same people who own the gym - the last time I looked, the whole site was up for about a million quid, but that was last year, when the gym was still a going concern; don't know what the current status is.

Heard a rumour and I stress it is only that, that Lidl had made an offer for the land and the club had also made an offer as well.
